Short Post, Lots of Pictures

This is the side walk that you walk up to the house from the driveway. I don't think in all of the years we have lived here has it looked so full of pretty flowers. Ron called this area Maple Corner, because most of the flower bed is full of his Japanese Maples.

I just think the purple flowers are incredible. When I am standing at the sink doing dishes it is a feast for the eyes. (I think of you every time I see them Debbie.)

The Hydrangea will be getting some More Bloom to try and hurry them up and start blooming.

 The Field of Dreams parking lot. Ron said that as he was making it the line from that song by Joni Mitchell from Big Yellow Taxi, " They paved paradise to put up a parking lot."Just goes through his head every time he looks at it.

We piled up this pile of tumble weeds last night. We wanted to burn them this morning but wouldn't you know it, today is not a burn day. My husband jumped through all of the red tape and we are the proud owners of a burn permit. It is good for a year. So once we come to the head of the queue we can burn these.
If it was a burn day though, we could have burned them after we contacted the fire department and let them know.

Just to give you an idea how big they are with Sasha staring into them. All of the stray cats from who knows where thought we built them a play house. It was full of cats. Sasha was a very happy dog to have things to stare at like she does.

We emptied the pool. We pumped all of the water out and now it is refilling with fresh water. Living out here and all of the dust after two years, we have to dump the pool and fill it again. The water will get so hard and then the pool starts eating chemicals like crazy and you can't keep it in balance. It will have fresh water in it and should be good to go. We have had so much heat already and last weeks dust storm didn't help at all.

Nik and all of his groomsmen made it to New Mexico. I think they are looking for treasure today. A very nice group of boys. My son, William sent me a text to let me know just how beautiful it was and that they had went through three hail storms. For Mother's Day tomorrow, I asked for cans of spray paint to paint the swimming pool fence. I am excited. I have to stop this though, Valentines Day, we scrubbed the tile in the house. My birthday we scrubbed tile in the other part of the house, our Anniversary we planted 13 flats of flowers. So why should we not have a painting party on Mother's day.

I hope that if you celebrate Mother's Day yours is a nice relaxing day.

By for now, from a very busy place.
