Sunday

Our front yard is looking good these days! The grass here is doing great.
Stacy and Addie drove up to help Gary and I with some yard work and check up to see how her dad was doing.
We needed the pots around the pool cleaned up and to get rid of some of them.

 Stacy also tried out my new battery powered lawnmower! Gave it a thumbs up!

Gary gave instructions from the pool...while cleaning the pool.

I wanted Salvias planted here but none were to be found, so we went with Marigolds...

Addie our big helper!  She weeded the raised beds...and did a great job.

The twin was on lifeguard duty...

Chris came to admire...

...and to show off his birthday present to himself...

TGIF

We need rain...this used to be under water.

My Boston fern hedge...

Chaz did get this Jeep back together and cooling better than ever...

Hello big red...

TBT

Gary found this beauty growing in the yard today...

Bob Gatche is a long time customer.  At 94 he is well known in our community for being a WW11 veteran. His hobby beside speaking publicly about veterans is jumping out of airplanes!

He loves and takes very good care of his vehicle. He loves his i-phone.

Neighbor's dog likes to hang out at the shop.

Chaz's job today...

TBT- Happy Birthday to my older brother Xavier... these pictures were taken in 1997 when our French aunts visited Xavier and his family in Georgia.

I still wear the same earrings everyday! I did loose the glasses.

Dinner...

Pork loins, rice with peas, corn, onions, spinach, tomatoes, orange peppers and Lima beans and lentils.

Wednesday

Morning walk with Dominique and mom...

We were waiting for the lawn guy to plant new shrubs and flowers...

I miss my friend Barbara...she lives on a lime rock road...so I never felt bad at work that my car was so dusty cause hers was as well...so I felt kinship with this dusty red car at the library.

My reading haul...Gary finally went and got himself a library card!

Thankful for...food delivered to Gary, Chris and I last week from my best friend Martha...

Snap Chat from Stacy...

Feeling lucky tonight...

Dinner...

Gary - Grilled chicken, pan fried potatoes, asparagus and mango.

                               Me - salad, great northern beans, sweet potato and asparagus.

Upper Crust goodies...

Ham and cheese and tomatoes tart for Chris.

Crust bread for me...ate some while driving home!

Gary bought me a battery powered lawn mower. It has two 40 volt batteries and motors. It's for mowing around my vegetable beds and pool.

The boys all love playing with new tools...

So...it works great...looks like it's going to be a great workout as well!

The twin's latest project...building oars for the family aluminum canoe. Notice how low his lakefront is?

Still no Armadillo in the trap...but plenty of tracks leading up to it.

But the twin's home made trap is working great for him...

Catch and release

Dinner...

Veggies over white rice and a salad.

Thankful for...

Houseplants that thrive outdoors.
