The last time we shared about Bo and Peep's Adventures Peep (the female) was laying eggs and we anticipated a growing family of ducks. Well. we are not sure why this happened but Peep never got on the eggs she laid to nest. It was pretty awful when Roy had to throw the eggs away.… Continue reading 03.12.20 Bo and Peep’s newest adventures

03.10.20 I love to pull weeds
Yes, I love to pull weeds. Now don't go getting all crazy thinking I'll come to your home to pull your weeds. The answer would be NO! I doubt I'd pull someone else's weeds even if I got paid! Well maybe I'd pull weeds at my sons' homes but THAT'S IT! Right now I am… Continue reading 03.10.20 I love to pull weeds

We have two large ornamental grass bushes near our driveway. They are beautiful when in full bloom but over the winter the beautiful green long leaves die off. Last year Roy cut them both back really well and they were prettier that year than ever before. This year when Roy got to that item on… Continue reading 02.28.20 Getting ready for spring blooms!
02.27.20 Mardi Gras at the flying field!
This was a very unusual Mardi Gras for Roy and I. When we were younger we went to every parade we could. In recent years we've chosen to watch some parades on television and attend none in person. We did go to one a couple of years ago. This year we did none of that!… Continue reading 02.27.20 Mardi Gras at the flying field!

02.16.15 Sheet rocking, hose reel and column moving!
Roy and I really like these sturdy roll up hose thingies (had to look up that word since thingy isn't a real word but the recommended plural is thingies) and brought one with us to our new little house. Roy attached it Friday so we're all set. He created some bolt thing made up of… Continue reading 02.16.15 Sheet rocking, hose reel and column moving!
