Flowerbed, Curtains on the Deck, Plumbing

The flowers that was embedded in

the paper that the company that 

did Dakota's ashes did not come up.

I wanted to put this plaque that a 

friend sent me with those so I

waited to see if they would make

it. But ...instead I just placed it

in the flower bed with my

Zinnia seeds that have started

popping up.

Here is a shot of the flowerbed.

It is on the back side of the house,

just right off the deck steps and 

behind the wood fencing that seperates

the side yard from the back. 

The flowerbed got thrown up

in a hurry cause I brought plants

from the old house that needed

to be put in the ground. I 

used my odd plates I bought a

couple years ago for the back 

border to prevent dirt from 

washing under the small opening

on the fence. Adds great color

till plants bloom. I also hauled

the rocks over from the old house. 

Once I had that bed made and plants

in it I realized that DUH, that would 

not be big enough. So with the aid

of more brought over rock I 

extended it. HAHA....

Zinna seeds popping up....

when I planted them from 

seeds I bought I just dumped

for envelopes full of seeds so

these will probably get thick!!

The view above the flowerbed. 

Down along the fence inside that area I have

this big pot of hummingbird vine growing.

There is a trellis that is also in the pot for

them to grow up. These things grown

over night and I do think they grow

an inch each day!

I am one of those plant it here

and see what it does sort of

person so the space that does

not have the vine popping up

I planted some two year old

morning glory seeds....just 

to see what would come up and 

what would not!! haha....

It has taken me awhile to get 

whatever I have gotten done.

Over a month ago I hung some

deck curtains that I had at the 

other place. They are twin size

sheets which is so much

cheaper then material or

curtains. I needed five

at the other place. I managed

to hang two on one side of the

deck and I realized that some

were missing, packed in another

box. So I stopped. Since then, last

week I located them and I have

now managed to have two sides 

of my deck done.

Side facing the next door neighbor.

Being on a corner lot this is 

my other next door / back neighbor.

I only needed five panels

at the old place cause basically

I only had two sides, the 

one side had a piece of wooden

fencing. But this place has

three open spots. I was short

a panel. Got that yesterday so

I need to hang the last two panels

and BAM that will be done. 

Back several post ago I 

posted about my issues with

plumbing here at the new house...

I put out there on fb a couple weeks

ago that I need recommendations

for a plumber that would not 

break the bank. A guy I went to 

school with, not seen in

40 some odd years said he was

a plumber for 33 yrs. I felt I wanted

to go with him. I sent him a private

message and told him all that was

going on and he said he would 

come look and maybe we could

barter. He had asked me months 

ago just as I started to move if

I would be interested in redoing

an old antique sewing machine and 

I told him after the move I would.

So....he is doing all my plumbing 

work, I buying parts, and I will

do his sewing machine cabinet. 

Now...I love doing business like

that!!!
