Pond, Oz, Park, Allergies

I like this idea but the digging would do me in.  However, could I not put a pool on the ground, build rocks around it, and set it up like this without digging? You call know that I am a big Wizard of Oz fan so of course I  found these articles interesting.

Coincidence, School and Famous, Gaines, Mellons, Friends and Being a Bulldog

Image
When I was working on the post from  awhile back about coincidence'  "Coincidence, Small World, Misty and Bathtime, Lily Chilling and Deck Life" I knew  there were other things I had  shared with you folks that I  could not put my finger or my mind on at the time.... but also going back in my  post, I can't locate the event. Anyway, few yrs back I loaded the plane to San Diego and sat next to a couple. We exchanged a few words here and there but it was not till right before landing that the  coincidence came up. The woman told me she had been to Nashville to visit her son, and her cousin. Her cousin owns a  well known bakery in Nashville. That  struck a voice in my head. Then I asked her if her cousin happened to be Beverly Edwards,  owner of Homestyle Bakery. Well, that was her cousin. I was floored cause Beverly's daughter was a really good friend of mine, who later opened Julia's  Homestyle in 2008.  I was maid of honor for ...

Morning Coffee, Moth, Sausage Balls, Great Grands, Me and my Brothers

Image
It was a really nice feeling and beautiful morning to hang on the deck Sat. morning. I have a visitor with me, a Luna Moth. I was outside on the screen. Later Sat. Amber had a bdlated Easter for the grands.  Everyone has places to be  on Easter so we do it  a week later. It was requested to me to  bring a double helping of sausage balls. First batch out of the office and  they were smelling so good. Kyler and Felicity was not  feeling well so they were not  there. But Ms. Priss was. Little Munchkin Man,  all silly and hungry. And Brodie. Look at this, I think littlest man likes his Nana Pam. I was happy about those smiles. Last time I loved on him,  he was not feeling well and he cried a lot. This pic popped up as a memory on FB. I was 18. Makes the guy on the  left, Mark (depending on  time of yr) was either  15/16 and the one in the  middle, Ray, 20. Not really sure as to what year the one at the bottom was taken. But it...

Crane Fly and Dragon Fly, New Toy, Bite, and Misty

Image
I just cut the yard for the  first time today (Thursday). And these were everywhere.   We call those gallon nippers. And how I love  dragonflies. My new toy arrived today. The most difficult part was getting the sides of the rack lowered to  get the mower off. Course getting the plastic off, took time.  Then I had to undo the bolts of the metal rack. They were on there good and it  required going in and getting the rachet set to take them off. I had to put the seat on, the hand operating arms, connecting the seat release and  connecting the battery. Checked the oil, put in gas and got going. Off I went.  First cut of the yr.and what a pretty day. Yard done, in no time at all. A lot easier on my body then the riding mower was.  Taught myself with no issues on how to drive this bad boy. Proud of myself. Its SPRING and I am here to  tell you that I am already dealing with issues. Hard to tell but its swollen. While watering the trees last n...
