My new fence

The fence has been up for a week, but the gate got finished this morning. I really like it. It goes just past the bogenvilla bush and stops before the living room windows. Later I hope to make it go further but the next panel will take the fence from 6 feet high down to 4 feet and it will go 4 feet high around the front. But that will be awhile yet.

The knee highs on the arms are a must for climbing walls.

Monday

Monday morning we went to walk around Lake Lily and then went to the play ground there. Oma has a problem getting Luke Michael out of the "baby" swing now so am encouraging him to use the big boy swing. He was enjoying himself swinging on his tummy when two other boys came along. He didn't want to give up his swing but eventually did when I told him it was time to share. After another walk around the lake we came home and Luke Michael was determined to "dig in dirt". When it got too warm we relaxed together in the only shade to be had, on the front door step. A good time was had by all.

A few pieces of our day

Today we did a few errands. First we went to the library to renew Alex's book. Luke Michael likes to hand the librarian the library card. While we were there he wanted to go to the children's library and look at books. Then he decided he wanted to take a book home so I let him use Alex's card and take out his own book. When we got home he thought it was cozy to read the book in his new tent. Then, while I was folding laundry he found a pair of daddy's socks and put them on along with mommy's shoes. Never a dull moment.

Guess Who?

New Outside Shower

Here is the new outside shower. I'm going to put some pavers on the ground so you won't be standing in mud but the water can soak into the ground. It will be for rinsing off after coming from the beach. I'm making changes little by little.

Old Suitcases

When I thought I had emptied the house next door Kay asked me if I had taken the suitcases out of the attic. I hadn't, so I got out the ladder and went up and got them. They have been sitting in my garage and I had no way of getting them to Kay so decided to use them myself. At the moment they are empty but I could use them to store stuff in if needed. I know that the bottom one was my mothers and it wouldn't surprise me if it was the suitcase we took when we went to Texas when I was 6 weeks old. That was a long time ago.

Outside shower is gone

The outside shower hasn't worked for several years. At first it stopped draining and then the water didn't run, it just trickled. The problem was that there was no roof on it so when it rained it filled up with water and had become a mosquito breeding place. So, I had it removed. I am having another shower put up on the outside of the pantry wall so people can rinse off after the beach, but it will just drain onto the ground. I can't believe how big it makes my mini yard look just having it gone. Guess I will be painting the side of the garage this Labor Day.
