Mother's Day 2010

Eddie and Trudi had a nice Mother's Day brunch for us and Trudi's mom and Ray. Tara and Brandon were there too.

This is the quiches, excellent.

Sandbox canopy, flowers and clouds

May 6, 2010
Eddie and Trudi gave me the frame of a canopy and we erected it around the sandbox garden. We think it looks neat and it can hold potted plants and serve as climbers for vines. The posts in center are from Eddie II's chin-up bar but I'm leaving it to hang things on, too.

The ajuga around the pool bloomed nice this year.

Frank took this picture of pretty pink clouds over the barn.

Mountain property

April 21, 2010
This does not do justice to the steep slope of our mountain property. We were touring it with realtor. It's up for sale, actually have a contract.

Wheat Berries and Asparagus

April 13, 2010
Karen had mentioned she cooked some wheat berries so I bought some and was looking for something to cook with my first batch of asparagus so I cooked them for an hour, made a salad and threw the asparagus into wheat berries for a few minutes and it was very good.

Wild Turkeys in yard

March 23, 2010
A group of turkeys ( I don't know what a group of turkeys are called ) came through the yard and Zipper kept an eye on them.

Robert's band in Ireland

I know Karen has already posted a picture of Robert's band in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day but we took a picture of the screen and since I am trying to catch up with my missing blogs, I included it here.

Vent cover for #51 trailer

March 10, 2010
We wanted to clean and paint the kitchen vent cover from the trailer. Frank couldn't find his goggles so he used an old storm window to shield his eyes from the little sand blaster. Shield worked great but the sand blaster did not.

Changed to his Dremel

Cleaned it off. Didn't get an after picture but I painted it white and it looks new.
