Water Feature, Walking Stick vs Witch Broom, Plants, Evie and Brodie,

Image
 For days now I have tried to work outside and finish some started projects and with hopes of starting more. BUT... The heat moved into Nashville, then  the rain. A weeks worth of rain. Three days  ago I poured out the gauge at  inches and since then we have had even more. I will check the gauge again in  the morning. Friday, I told you that I worked in the rain in the yard, that way the heat is not so over powering. Would you believe, wearing a tank top, I actually got sunburned shoulders. Not bad, but the pink is there. Off and on rain again Sunday, only I just did not have the energy  to get out and do anything. I lied, I moved the wagon out from under the deck and placed the monkey grass in front of it. WOW....such hard work. Here is my plan, I am going to get a liner for the wagon, then  a solar pump to make a water feature.  I will place plants  around it to make it look prettier. Going to line the wagon with river rock also.  What...

  Rainy Day and Monday.... Seriously, I am over this rain. I think Misty says the same thing. Yesterday evening I was taking  some of my grandson's friends to one of  their homes when I passed a  not identical twin of my house. You know I love Halloween, and since moving here I have noticed that apparently the citizens of  Hickman Co. Tn love their SKELETONS! You can go just about anywhere I  see them up, all year long. Saw this one yesterday. I love it. Remember my wagon water feature to be, this is where the two gutter things come out from the ground and what I  will be covering up. I went by the Piney River the  other day, and was so pleased to see that they have made a really neat area for the  kids...this was mixed in with them kiddie stuff. Not sure if I have shared this before or not, but the little community I go through to get to my community is  Lyles. Someone posted this map some time back on a FB page. Pretty cool. Lyles, lik...

It Fit, Flowers, Birdfeeder, Fred, Tomatoes

Image
 You know the saying, "if it fits, I sit"... So, Lily sits. And continues to lay there for an hour of so. Flowers are popping out all  around. This is what is  called a Carolina False-dandelion and they grow wild this yr in my yard. This is a Brown Eye Susan, coming up from seeds dropped last yr. This is what is called a  Crow Garlic. Yes, wild in the yard. Growing wild in between my yard and neighbors yard. So cool, they all have three  blooms on one stem.  According to Google this is a Verbesina Helianthoides commonly known as yellow crownbeard or  gravelweed. What a name for a pretty bloom. It is a native species in the  aster family.  This also is growing between  the yards. Milkweed, the Monarch  will have this place for laying eggs.   Last yr when I purchased this feeder, I hung it on the front porch but I wanted to move it around back. I did and I put it on the base of the deck, it  was driving the girls nuts. ...

Dressing it up or Down, Note from Hannah, Rock Learning, Introvert or Extrovert

Image
 What you may or may not know about me, and I am sure its been mentioned in my yrs of blogging... My thoughts, NO wall should ever go undressed. My thoughts again, however, this is over dressed. WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME. I really wanted to share this with you, however, its a FB reel so if you are not on FB I figure you can't see it.   I saw the reel posted by Hannah,  which you all, if you are able to keep up with my family, is my soon to be  granddaughter in law, wife to my  grandson via marriage, and mother  of Evie.  This made me emotional making. This is just a SMALL glimpse of our life. This babygirl has been through so much these past 7 years. Long story short In 2019 , my babygirl had a stroke in utero and suffered from countless seizures afterwards. She spent the first 6 weeks of her life in the NICU. We were told she only had 2/3 of her brain and that she had a blockage in her brain. he also told us that baby’s were so resilient and that things cou...
