landscapes

I moved all these rocks and this shrub to this container, twice.

I've been promising some pictures of our hard work so I won't put you off any longer. These types of landscaping projects are just about right for those of us of distinguished age. Whew! I better go in the house and get a tall glass of iced tea.

Wedding Bells

Ronnie Reese & Francis Mullins
ties the knot till death do us part....again,
for the second time around for both of them.
They believe in a thousand deaths, or, somebody momentarily lost it.
Please don't say the old maid finally snagged another one.
The best part is, I now have a brother-in-law that is a new car salesman (go figure).
The preacher was very late and Kay went and found another one to fill in
on the spur of the moment.
Nobody can guess which parts of this description that I
completely invented or embellished, as is my customary way
with introductions. Their consolation, I volunteered to put together
a photo album with a few of the best pictures, no narrative included.

Cruzing

I think you can see a smile from mama here

Mama still a go-go

mama gets a tour of the grounds to see where all her plants went. fortunately for us, she approved.

Our Nursery Outing

Our trip to the local nursery yielded many good finds. We tore up a lot of stuff and boy, was it HOT! Like a trip to the Amazon, we brought back many specimens, horn worms included, and are trying to propagate them in our own climate. I told Mama that she would have to come and see her plants in our gardens and she agreed. We are working hard to finally landscape our lawn and with a lot of help and Lotus' generosity, we are slowly making it a reality. I still intend to post those belated pictures when I have some spare time.

Landscape Gardner

Work, work, work. All we ever do is work around here.

I love to help my grandpa,
he shows me what to do.
He never says don't do that,
My grandpa's awfully cool.

Work, work, work. All we ever do is work around here.

I guess I'm pretty good at it,
he always tells me so,
I think he likes it just so much,
he hates for me to go.

Work, work, work. All we ever do is work around here.

Class of 2007

this is g'mas bouquet

Anthony Graduates High School
(well, almost. he has a few paces to complete before he gets his diploma)
Small and expensive Christian Academy has only three graduates this year. The expense has been worth it's burden to surround these boys with like-minded peers and teacher supervision unequaled in the local area public schools.
