OUTSIDE

JUNE 1, 2011

Frank consolidated our left over wood and recovered it.

The grass he planted there is up and green. Most of his bushes are growing. We do need to replace a few of them.

Something comes at night and roots through the hay Frank put on the area to help the grass sprout. Glenn K. thinks that it is probably skunks or 'possums. I don't know what it is, but I'm very unhappy with them. I had been using grass for mulch in my flower beds. Whatever it is roots there, too. They have rooted out some of my flowers. I have replanted them over and over and over, but I still find them rooted out. Of course, this is not good for plants, and several have died. I am working on weeding. It takes so long because I think that I have to replant the grass! However, some places are looking green that hadn't been. This is my shade bed by the lower drive way. See all the weeding I still need to do?

This is the area I added to this bed. My seeds are coming up by the wall and behind the main row.

This is my row of bushes and flowers to the south along our boundary.

Frank bought and installed an "air chair" in the gazebo.

Frank put tongue and groove in and on the carport.

He also stained it and under the deck.

This was to go with the last post. Since then, another of our "girls" died. We get six to eight, and occasionally nine eggs a day--one for each "girl".
