Chillin

Great to have our son and friend Landon here for the Memorial Day weekend.  They floated the river and did the local music venue.

Memorial Day

What fun to celebrate the holiday surrounded by family and friends.  Other than the AC breaking in the late afternoon and scrambling to find someone to fix it on a holiday weekend, all went well.

Every Man Should Own a Deere

Exciting day around here when we got the opportunity to buy a riding lawn mower that had hardly ever been used from our next door neighbor.  It's been a dream to own a John Deere that's now been fulfilled.  Check one off the bucket list!

 

 Too bad it had issues from sitting unused for so long, but they are now resolved and the grass is shorter than ever.

The Closet

We gave up 2 feet of great room space to gain a new closet, a display space and a flat wall for hanging a barn door.  This was dead space anyway and it gives us much needed storage.  

We'll be painting this new area and the great room next.  I'll post pictures of the finished area after we complete the painting.  

A visit from the big O

No, not Oprah!  We had fun, visited a winery, ate lots of great Italian food, got him to help mount the flat screen TV in the bedroom and fixed the tears in his Biminey (sp?) cover.  It was a good weekend.

Carl the snake

Only our son will get the title.  For the rest of you, there was a coral snake found in our neighbor's yard today.  They are very poisonous.  My DH made me look at it so I would know what to watch out for and I may never walk around the yard in flip flops again. 

 It took all my courage to put my finger next to the dead snake so you could get an idea of the size.  Very Scary!

Baby Wood Ducks

We have baby Wood Ducks!  There were at least 11 in the beginning, now sadly, we're down to 6 or 7.  Nature at work I guess.  It's fun to watch the parents as they guide the babies, allowing them to swim farther away each day and then silently calling them back.  It's fun to watch.
