The Garden is Growing.

Well, an update on the growing garden. We have radishes, carrots, two varieties of lettuce, broccolli, peppers, potatoes and then YES, the corn has taken off!!!
We are very happy to see this corn growing every day! It is quite a change from the seedlings we planted two months ago!!!

Don has been on the internet finding how the corn polinates. Anyone out there have any suggestions??






Also, I had to include the picture I took of a SOD roof?!?!?! I had the opportunity to get real close, the owner was finishing cutting the grass.
My next project is to paint the outside of the house,
WISH ME LUCK!!!

More days with Dylan.


We have been able to spend more time with Grandson Dylan.

Cant believe he will be 3 at the end of this month.




We have several ways to tire him out, our favorite is the
wheelchair, hopefully he never catches on!!!

The Winter Wood is here

Well, yes........ the winter wood is here. A little later than normal.




After the delivery we realized that it is some of the driest wood we have ever got!! We are very lucky, the last few years the wood was still a bit wet. Don will be busy every evening for the next few weeks..

Our new AIR CONDITIONER

Well, the heat here is kikkin our behinds. It is not really 114, but that is what it shows. So its my story, so I'm gonna tell it. As you can also see, the indoor temp, gets very warm, also.


I like to leave the doors open at night and cool the house down,


But, it gets about 63, so in the mornings, Don doesn't like that too much. We have had a hard time coming to a happy medium. On Thursday when Don came home from work, he had bought an
AIR CONDITIONER.
Yes, we are now the proud owners of an
AIR CONDITIONER!!!
It has a hose thingy that exhausts out the window and it sets on the floor in the living room and does its thing. I can tell where I'll be tommorow afternoon, IN FRONT OF IT!!!!
OH, and our corn is diggin its new home. As you can see it is flourishing fine. We have counted about 23 stalks, and everyday it seems like it grows inches.

I had the opportunity, last week to watch Dylan. He really likes to come over and play. Here he is Painting the sidewalk, with water.
And then he likes a new swing, I got at a yard sale. He is almost too big for it. But he will swing for hours at a time. Sometimes he will just hang in there with no one pushing him. And sometimes he will just nod off,
when I try to get him out to nap
he wakes up and wants more!!


Grandkids are a blessing.
