YARD WORK

Steven worked all day to make me a trellis.

We took out the dying trees at the end of the house

and put in some gold flame honeysuckle bushes.

They should climb 15 feet high.

Nina has a little greenhouse.

She gives my Dad one present a year.

This year it was about 1000 bedding plants.

Between the two of us (Grandpa and I)

We have about 600 already planted.

I love Columbine and this one bloomed this weekend by the bird bath.

My bleeding heart on the north end of the house survived its first winter.

There is so much yard work here. I would just like to sit down and bawl.

Thanks Heidi for the use of your jetted tub. Of course I pretended to tend Xander.

MOTHERS DAY

A mothers favorite gifts are her children and the honor they bring her.

The gifts were great too. Thanks for your thoughtfulnesses.

We had a cookout and layed around outside. It was a good day for that.

Jared marinated the steaks in his secret formula.

Leisa amused the grandkids with her bubble blowing.

TENDING XANDER

Little Boys - Water - Mud (Doesn't that say it all)

When Heidi moved I helped out by tending Xander in Morgan.
