Larry and I have totally loved the nice weather here with mild temperatures and always a breeze out here on the "shady acres"! Last week we bought a few new tree type plants. We bought two new lilac trees, some new hostas and a dogwood tree! It has kept us busy watering the new things until they get established.
We replanted all of the hostas in the rock garden out in back because there was too much sun for them since we cut down a tree there. I have it envisioned as a "beautiful sanctuary" but as you can see, it is pretty rough right now.
We planted some things in the front yard including two roses bushes which produces beautiful little white and red roses. It has been fun planting and working outside with Larry we both enjoy it so much.
Of course our garden always needs something done to it but we really need a good soaking rain. The weeds are growing like, well.....WEEDS! If everything produces we will be dropping vegetables off at night (while people are asleep) to those poor souls who run when they see us coming with a full bag of tomatoes. This happens at the end of the season. Once eager for our bounty, they try to avoid us when they have had too much and we are trying to just get rid of it.
We have been more faithful to our walks also, which we both need. Usually Lucy and Rocky starts out but Zippy, Rocky's bother who lives on the corner soon follows. How God blesses us with all of his creation. Not to mention the antics of the crazy dogs. My endurence is getting better and my walking partner (Larry) even told me that he thinks I am walking faster. I thought I only had one speed (slow)! He usually uses words like "molasses" and "Grandma Moses" when refering to my walking speed!
Why do I feel like I just wrote a Christmas letter in May? Just another day in our life as we watch the corn grow in Illinois!
