More June pictures

just shots taken of the homestead, that I didn't take.

Yard

Been rather preoccupied lately, in my absence, Kay took these few snaps.
Mostly have let the last couple years plantings do as they may.
The potato vine taking over the beds again, hiding most of the other plantings.
The plantings by the carport struggling with the creosote toxins which leech into the soil, what survives, is stunted and doesn't flower much. Not complaining, just making a recommendation so the rest of you don't get any thoughts about using old crossties for flower bed containers. Only suitable for berms and such.

New yard work

cleaning the shed out. I needed somewhere to put an unused stack of bricks.

Everyone remembers the extraordinary skill I displayed here: http://tejasmidget.multiply.com/photos/album/145/landscapes
So, not to be outdone by older brother, here is some more insight into my never ending productivity. My imagination is only exceeded by my lack of deneiro.

January 2008

Our first snow

Idea Book

Just a few things to knock around.

From a Child's Eye

Sometimes it helps to take another perspective, a different approach. Here, in these photos, all except the three we took of her, taken by Kailani without coaching, we can see her view of a little part of her world. No matter if there is redundancy, what matters is what she thinks is important. These pictures are of her choosing.

lost & found

after we dug up the verbena, we found these two kids under the flowers.

as we keep digging, we continue to discover new things.

Moving Day

We've been talking about this for a while, one long day and it's done.
Nobody can say we don't have our good share of junk either!

Verbena bites the dust

this is before it completely covered the wagon

the rambling pink verbena i started from a few roots took over and obscured my wagon. it was also making the front yard appear too crowded. solution? find it a new home. it's a woodsy plant so it should be happy down by the riverbank with a few of it's cousins.

Around the House

since spring started, here's a fresh look at what we've been up to. busting butt, really, southren style.
