Deconstruction

The past two days we have been working on deconstructing one of our flower beds. It sits off the back porch. Once again no before pictures because I'm an airhead.

 Early in the spring it looks nice, then it rains and the dog tracks the mud into the house. Then it progresses to the summer and the weeds start to take over and Gus decides that it would be a good spot to wrestle with his friends and the day lilies make the perfect place for an afternoon nap.

It had to go. 

We contacted the concrete guy last fall and have a plan in place to have a patio poured. But first I wanted to move the plants, and the rocks that made the border. 

The plants have been moved to a garden on the side of the house. Well it used to be two gardens, but this weekend we connected them and tore out the bushes in one of them. We tilled and then moved the plants. 

The rocks were moved to the front yard to make a boarder for a new flower bed. 

More on that to come. 

He's Super Fast

Mr. B and I took a break while we were doing yard work to take some pictures. I was trying to get some action shots of Bruce and Christmas chasing Gus.

BTW: I was mowing the grass and it snowed. WTF mother nature! It's May, the flowers are up the trees are getting their leaves you decided to snow. Not amused.

Instead Mr. B got this one of Gus all wound up while I was playing with my new toy. We went to Fleet Farm to get some materials to make a raised flower bed. Rather than lumber or end pieces we came home with a new pellet gun and some targets, cause that's how we roll.  

Gus gets all excited when we use it. I should really get a video of it. He does this funny dance and growls/whines in anticipation. All of this steams from Mr. B playing nurf wars with him.

Fiesta

As you know this past Sunday was Cinco de Mayo. An excuse to drink margaritas and eat Mexican food. The family got together for our own fiesta. Complete with a pinata. The kids couldn't wait for us to get there to do that. (Sad face)

I could kick myself for not taking more pictures but I did get this one of the table. Just look at that delicious spread. Refried beans, enchiladas, tacos, rice, and some sort of soup/sauce thing that was A-mazing, the sistas new boyfriend is a chef he brought that. 

 

 

And of course a glamour shot of the cup cakes.  

Didn't you know taking pictures of food is more important that taking pictures of you family. Maybe it because it stays put while you try and find good light. And it will never think of you as the person with the camera who always want your photo.

Mrs. AJ

Last year there was a pair of Red Tails nesting in the big pine in the front yard. They are back again this year. We refer to them and Mr. and Mrs. AJ. My MIL started calling hawks AJ and it kinda stuck. Get it AJ Hawk from the Green Bay Packers. Yeah I know…

Bruce and Christmas are too big of fatties for the hawks to bother with. Now the in-laws purse dog Ninny, well he’s a different story.  

Wordless Wednesday

A quilty blog that I follow used to do a wordless Wednesday post every week. Just photos. I thought I would give it a try. More motivation to get out there and use the camera. 

Here are some shots from the garden.
