2011 Hall Reunion

I decided to catch up on my blogs before I posted Christmas photos.
These were taken at the Summer Hall Reunion in Leicester.
This is Robbie and Nicole, Susan's husband and daughter.

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.

Night Swim. Usally not warm enough after sun goes down but was good that night.

ARROWOOD WEDDING

We had a neighbor's wedding in the field near the pond and dock. The guests parked in other open field.

Just before the bridesmaids came down, one of the groomsmen had to chase off a barking dog.

20 gallon fish tank

Our 10 gallon fish tank has gotten too small for the 3 fish we have.

We followed instructions for transferring to larger tank.

Fish all happy in 20 gallon tank.

Rebuilding Dock and Ramp

This is the old dock.

We put in new post to support the ramp and joists.

We cut most of the boards at the barn.

I am laying out the new floor boards ( 2 X 6's).

We found the old joists were weak so we added new 2 X 4 runners on the outside of the posts.

Finished dock.

We cleaned the old vines and fencing from around the tree near dock.

Flower display at Forge Valley Event Center

This is a neat display of flowers spilling from wooden barrels at a local event center. Karen's High School Reunion will be there in a couple of weeks.
