Weekend Follies

This past weekend, May 21-22, we had a great time both days.

Well let me rephrase that, after Richard was done working we had a great time. He was working most of Saturday while I got the house ready for a guest and then started getting things organized for Memorial Weekend.

This lovely Rhododendron is at the foot of our back deck stairs.


During sundowner time Richard started to relax and really enjoy himself.


Morgan of course always knows how to relax and unwind.


Kele was going her best manatee impersonation, what a cutie. Lili was off somewhere looking for a toy.


On Sunday we had more work to do around the house. One big project was scraping some of the silt out of the large pond in the front yard. Here is Richard backing the tractor into the pond,


Bucket down, 4 wheel drive engaged, first gear, GO.


After he was done I went out to look at what he had accomplished. There used to be a drain and a lot of water plants in this part of the pond,,,I wonder where they are now?


He left the driveway a mucky mess.


While he was playing in the mud I was playing in the dirt of my raised garden. I got our sweet basil, sweet red bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, sweet banana peppers and okra planted here. (Due to technical difficulties I'll have to add this photo later)

Here is a corner of the deck with more herbs and cayenne pepper plants. We are ready for the summer now.
