New activity........


Today resurrected a long lost activity for the Browns.........lawn mowing!!! Yup! His grass is up enough & filled in enough to mow. It's a little tender but it's coming. Pretty satisfying!!! Have a good Sunday.

Filling in..........


The grass is filling in nicely. Leryl is getting anxious to mow. We're really pleased with the plants on the right side of the porch but not so sure about the left side. We need to see what they do next year before we make any changes. The coryoptis on the right have really taken off. The bees love their flowers.

It's Green.............

Well.....it's a little bit green! If you look closely, you can see Leryl enjoying the fruits of his labor.
And thank you, Bill...........it is an accomplishment!!

Finally..............



OK......it may not be exciting to you but......it sure is to us!!! The grass is planted & the sprinklers are coming on for 5 minutes every 2 hours. The pink tape is up & Bugs knows to stay off so, all is good.

Mystery solved...............



So........something got into the garden & absolutely destroyed one of our loaded plum trees. Leryl was not happy so he set leg hold traps around the tree & around the gate. This morning the culprit was caught! Just as he suspected........a nasty old porcupine. The Glock worked well & Leryl is, once again, a happy camper. He's resetting the traps just in case there's a buddy hanging around.

It's done!!!












We have a sprinkler system!!! The standing picture shows Leryl after he finished digging the last line. I also took pictures of him putting in the last of the 1,020 feet of pipe & hooking up the last of the 56 sprinkler heads. A big job out of the way & tomorrow we plant grass!!! Woo~hoo!

It's full..........












We worked on filling the pool & laying rock around the top edge. Planted a few little ferns we had. The waterfall sounds good. The rocks around the pool came from the foundation of the old house that was on the property. We piled them up knowing we'd have a use for them. Lots of flat ones so good for the edge of the pool. We're getting there. Thanks for checking.
