Looking better

I just happened to go outside and came around the corner and thought to myself these two are up to no good! I wonder what my little dog seems to think he sees down in the holes of the bricks, He certainly facinated by them
We are still trying to dig this stump out,. 3 years now we have been at this so my husband decided to burn it some to see if we can manage to get this to split. Was a huge tree and of course our favorite that came down a few years ago when we had some severe weather, the same yr we lost our grain bins. The yard was a huge mess then....so this is till some remnants to clean up.
Well got a good start now in the garden..spuds to the left...closest in the middle I am trying to raise a few broccoli for a friend this yr....and up the row a bit of course are onions.


I decided to create a garden of flowers. WHY I am not sure...so this is a bran new area dug up by hand and I planted a few things in it that hopefully will spread and grow further in years to come!! *cross your fingers* I can raise one heck of a veggie garden but I am not so sure about flowers and plants!
This is an annual plant and looks like mini candy corn.....kind of neat supposed to vine up ..so we shall see!
Isnt this red fabulous! I fell in love with the color ...every garden and home should have a splash of red!
and pink
Looking at it from a distance.....kind of bare yet but it will get better!!

Have a good week!!

Happy Hump Day

Well as usual we get busy and I work over time hours and get lost in the track of time and then get a day off and want to play catch up in all the things I love to do and one of those for what ever reason is blog land!! I love coming online and reading what everyone is up to and looking at your photos hobbies and views and muse!! I just don't want any one thinking I do not read them as I do that more often than I post.......so following along you will now see what we have been busy in....

The photo above is a before photo of a project that I decided I needed to tackle and now I am wondering WHY I wanted to do this...what a mess!!
It is an old milking parlor that is no longer really used other than a tossing room to get clutter off the yard..... hmmmmm....Oh the possibilities I can do here
Here is one of the walls completed in dark brown..... Got a few tools hanging up and organized now
Mothers day weekend we were busy in Marshall moving our college daughter into her first apartment, she has the cutest 1 bedroom apt. perfect for her.....the 2 girls took off and came back with these gorgeous gerber daisies and baloon for me for mothers day and we all went out to eat! Was a great day
Happening on the farm..well where do I begin...Its a mess isn't it! LOL
But the crew is working hard on it and our border collie Felix makes sure it is done right!
Pouring cement
Final inspector of the farm Chance, he was not too sure what to think of all the commotion!! But they did a lot of brick layed
Getting ready to create an additional parking or patio area, I plan to use it for both
I came home from work to this yesterday.....cement poured and drying I love it!!
We are still tore up but it is looking a little better than last week
Well as you all know I love to garden and have a great start this year!! things are slowly peeking through the ground..Yummmy!

Between the garden and remodel project and getting oldest established and working and trying to stay on top of the Reiki business and school events I feel like sometimes I do not have time to come up for air! This week I am cleaning out a few closets and going to place some items on E-bay!! Its just got to be done!! Time to down size....How and WHY do we manage to collect so much stuff!!

Well until next time...... Have a great week!
