New Microwave

This is my new microwave that Duane and Karen gave us for Christmas. I had worn the start button out on my other one and it was hard to start. We moved it to other side of kitchen for extra room. I really like it there. It is a convection/microwave.


I got to retire my toaster oven as well as the old microwave so now I have a lot more room on the bar side.

Mailbox Wheelbarrow Flowers

We had an old wheelbarrow and I decided to plant flowers in it behind the mailbox.

Frank helped.

Wheelbarrow full of summer flowers and Blackeyed Susans in the ground.

Skip 4 months to getting ready to plant pansies. I planted some in the wheelbarrow and some in beds around the house.

Hope they get established before too cold and they should last all winter. Our resident cat likes to ride the golf cart and oversee whatever is going on.

July 4th 2011

I know this is 4 months late but I had it all arranged so I decided to post it anyway. Aaron had a new smoker with remote controls and fancy thermometers.
