What I Learned, Pool, Flipped, Light Houses, and Day Lilies

 What I have learned wince living in Hickman Co. TN. 1. Unlike where I lived on the other side of Nashville, people are always giving things away or putting on the road for someone to pick up 2. Street signs are also different, where I come from you have the name of the street you are turning on but you can also view below it or above it,  the name of the street you are on. Here, the one you are on is not noted 3. People out here cannot park worth crap 4. There are no good looking people, no guys, no knock out pretty girls This county don't know how to  grow them 5. Here if a road does not have Ave., Rd., or St. listed after the name, it is not a road. A lane is a narrow, mostly gravel or dirt path to a few or several homes. A street named after someone,  is usually the same. 6. Here, people get street signs for their driveways, not sure how it gets passed through the  government but it does 7.

Question about a Block, Is it ADHD or FIBRO, JAP BEETLES, Growing Around, Poison or Not, Turtle, Fred, Snake and Chipmuck

 Question... Do you call these Cinder Blocks Concrete Blocks Cement Block or  Brick o Blocks?  Or, do you have another term for  them? I have referred to them as Cinder blocks before but that is not what I really call them.  I basically call them concrete blocks, or cement blocks but grew up calling them Brick o Blocks. Where I learned the term Brick o Blocks, not a clue! Do you ever wonder where I come  up with things to blog about? The question above came about when I was working in between rain showers the other day and this is  how my mind looks if you could see it. My body might not be able to hold out to do all the designing, creating,  planning or working but my mind is a jumble mess of stuff going on. The blocks came about when I looked over and saw two concrete blocks I have in the yard, I went from having to  move them to do I have anything I can use them for right now, to what are they called! And, with that said, thoughts move aro...

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...
