Happy Father's Day!!

We got the $3 fountain up and running

in the birdbath for now.

I love the fact that it is solar and

doesn't require batteries or electricity!

Pretty cool huh.  

Tony liked his gift was really neat,

something he's never seen before.

It came with three different type

sprayer heads that can be changed.

Garden Update.

Things are looking well in the flower

and vegetable gardens.

The Daylilies are popping open

all over the place.  These were all

free for a little work of digging them all up.

I like the fact that I can plant them under

shade trees and have had no problems with them.

Front yard. 

 Front corner of yard.

 Side yard.

Back yard under pine tree

planted with hostas which were free also.

 Back yard planted with tomatoes.

Tomatoes are starting to pop

up all over!  Sorry I didn't get a pic of them.

I planted them May 21st, almost a month ago.  They've come a long way!

Almost as tall as the daylily flowers!

Before.

Bush beans are blooming.

Pole beans.

Grapevine is coming along.

It's only a couple years old

so it's still a young grapevine.

It will get larger over the years.

I discovered a wild morning glory flower

growing along our fence.

Morning Glories are actually considered

weeds in some countries because

they become out of control

and can take over.  I find their vines

all over the yard on everything including

my tomatoes, fence, and other veggies.

Light reflecting in his eye
from camera flash.  Looks possessed!

5:30pm


Went out and mowed the front and
side yards.  So loving this riding mower!
 Makes my job easier and quicker.
 Now moving on to getting some 
laundry switched over.

I don't know how my honey
is gonna get through this week
at work.  He has the on call pager
on top of regular work and
being sick.  Then it's supposed to
get hot out which won't be good
for his breathing.  I had to switch
on the air conditioner yesterday to take
the humidity out of the air to somewhat
lessen his coughing fits.  I notice
if he goes outside that it can trigger one.
It's been 5 weeks since having
my pneumonia and I am still having
coughing fits with phlegm.
Just can't seem to shake this crap!
