Great place for a fire at night

Isn't this great. Found it at a yard sale for only $35 and it was never used.

WELCOME FLAG

keep an eye on all those buds

Hey Darcy doesn't it look cute in the garden!





HERE IS MY NEW PATIO

This just accured to me to use the blacktop on the side of the garage. I am going to paint the floor of it in a colorful fun sun burst. How smart is that.

Veggy Garden







Gramma and I made this little fun garden beds out in the side lawn. This will be Gramma Cota project. I will keep you posted how they grow.

cow slips


Just 200 yards from my drive is this beautiful patch of cow slips. I was told that the real name of these flowers is swamp marigolds. I never heard that before. They grow along creek banks. So pretty.
