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!!!

Have a fabulous day, Pam. Big hug. ♥
Your back porch, with those curtain/"sheets" is lovely! Gives privacy, without seeming to be "unkind" to the neighbors. If you know what I mean. -smile-
And they make your porch look like a Private Oasis!
Barter Babe! Barter! The old fashioned way of living. Love it!!!
The flower bed looks great.
Sending my good wishes.
All the best Jan
