Tbanks @Bruce !!....we analyzed ourselves as to "what" we have done in the year we've been here....and tho we wish to be further down the "path", we are fine with the progress so far....with the heat and humidity on the way we will do what we can as we go...but, will be waiting for Oct/Nov to doing anything major....may put in a couple of rows of pink-eyes and a row of speckled btrbeans....gotta look for some seed or order some....sure wish they had CoOps here, but several feed&seed places....too far to peddle, but should have some "wheels" before long...with and Engine.....

I took some pics back in Feb to share with ya of the azaleas in bloom..

They were really big and pretty....they wrap around the big oak out front...we haven't trimmed them back yet, but Joyce has pulled several big piles of vines from them so far....our favorite is the white ones....she is going to try propagating some to spread around....

The second one was taken today, fairly close to the same spot....
....another one I came across was the last pic I have of Star...it was taken just days before the limb hit her....she was a real sweetie...

Lots more light in there now!
Can't like that Star got hit by a limb.

I'm loving that you HAVE a great picture to see as you remember her! There are times when we don't have that, with regret.

I agree @Mini Horses ....I'm certainly thankful....given the situation we were in...an 11yo doe that had issues and facing taking her for a last "walk" anyway....it was a timely accident that really was an answer to prayer, because I ended her suffering, instead of taking her out because I had no "choice"..... ....we really do miss our animals, but "life" has moved us past those days and "adjustments" have to be accepted.....but, it doesn't mean that others won't come...just After we are prepared for them....which isn't high on the priority list for now...

I've noticed that most of the pics I've shared have been taken facing away from the house....so, I was out with Gabbie and thought to take one facing the house....
....we have also noticed that we have a larger house than most around us....we have been in 2 of them and they are cramped with really small rooms.....there are 2 other properties with similar dimensions of property, but most lots are only 50' wide....ours is 200'.....we will get to doing some things around the house before long and I will share as we go along....here is my "test strip" for the waterflow problems....
....it is hard to tell, but the trench is 6-8" deep....so gonna have to move some fair amount of sand...I'm planning to use some retaining wall blocks to establish an elevation change and to hold the sand away from the house....unless it is contained it will shift and move....it will take us some time to complete it, but "time" is what we have the most of....may use some limbs in areas until $$ for stones can be had.....

Well....drumroll please......
....we have Wheels!!!....tho, it'll be a bit before we get a tag on it....the office is closed and have to fill out papers, put them in their "dropbox" and wait for them to call...give payment over the phone and wait for it to show up in the mail....
..I sure wish it was open, but it is "what" it is....as long as it is running, we won't be peddlin' or playing "mommy my I" with neighbor....
....we are very thankful for him and his kindness thru this.........I got another pic to share of a very Good girl.....
