Not much of a blogger...

I guess blogging is not for me. I spend way too much time on the computer at work to come home and spend MORE time on the computer. Oh well. Lots going on in my life right now. I'm getting ready to leave for a mission trip to Germany, Poland then 2 days of sight seeing in London.

I am slowly getting a handle on the yard but not quite there yet. Some things are harder to do than others and I will probably need a pro to help with those things.
I planted a small garden this year. I will probably add another box as it is a container garden and only grow those things next year that do well this year. So far the tomatoes, peppers, herbs and possibly eggplant look good. Cukes - maybe. Winter squash not so much but I will wait and see what happens. I replaced the summer squash and it seems to be doing fine.

Earlier this Spring

I bought my own weed whacker and probably could go out and use it every day. I've let one area I used to mow, grow in as I never used it and thought why mow it, I can only do so much. The wild raspberries look like they will be coming in soon and the few blackberry plants behind my house are starting to ripen - not really enough to do anything with.

We've had a few fire pit lightings - I need to practice more :-)

Hummers are visiting and emptying the feeders on a regular basis, and plans for a paver patio are in my head. I'll deal with it when I get back from the mission trip. I also have plans to get some gravel for my driveway/parking pad with some pavers added to edge it. I would like to get a new floor in the bathroom in the fall and before the holidays and then some beadboarding in there as well.

Masonry work and possibly a liner for the main fireplace will have to wait but I may get a price quote for something to shoot for next year.

So much to do but I am enjoying it. I feel blessed.
