Pictures from Nancy's house







Since I have just visited Nancy in Holland and helped her with her spring cleaning and gardening and got to go with her when she picked out a new rug for her living room I thought I would put on a couple pictures from that visit. I don't seem to have any with people in them and I did go to two of Amarins concerts also while there but have no pictures of those.

My PIneapple plant




Today when I went outside to inspect my plants I discovered a pineapple growing on one of my plants. Not one of the ones that I've had in the ground for 3 years, but last year I planted one in a pot so that I could bring it inside if it got cold out. I guess it worked because that is the one with the beginnings of a teeny tiny pineapple on it.

The monument next door and the tree by my back porch




Well, I do niss the blogs and enjoy reading Hopes so I will try and keep up my own blog for those that don't do Facebook. They have built a new firehouse and are going to tear down the one next door and sell the property for building lots. However, luckily they have decided tht the Watch and Warn Monumnet from WW II should stay where it is, right next to my driveway. The men's garden club used to take care of it but they are not interested in doing it any more so for the moment I have volunteered to do it. Since Alex and Samantha were on spring break this week I took the week off to do a few things around my own house. Like raking leaves. I"ve filled 30 bags from my yard and I filled 6 more from the monument. I trimmed a few bushes that were there and planted some flowers and put in new flags. I wish I had taken a before as well as an after picture. The bay tree right by my back porch was getting int he way of wires to my house so I had it trimmed a bit this spring. It got trimmed a lot so for fun I have now hung some of my bottle collection in the tree. I've already gotten a lot of comments on my blue bottles. Now if I can remember how to add pictures to this I will do that.
