6 months later...

good grief...talk about abandonment 

no post since October 2018!

I'm going to try to be so much better with posting

I'm almost retired, 20 more work days!!

Johnny and I have been having a lot of fun doing

things to our home 

Planted flowers, trying to get rid of the weeds (that's not really fun)

 fixing up the carport, my fave place to relax and hang out

We just love our neighbors....so much fun

and the fire pit is almost nightly

Johnny is making progress on his "she shed"...slow but progress

but that's fine, he's retired and works at his own pace now

here's the side yard...not too many weeds in this sod

I bought a Cricut machine to play around with during retirement

here's one of my first projects....

With not being too sure about how well flowers would do in this sand

we didn't overdo it too much

we buy garden soil and mix it with the sand and so far

things are doing well

you can also tell there are lots of weeds in this sod, which was a

different delivery. But Johnny is working his yard magic and 

slowly killing off the weeds. I know in a couple of years it will look great

I'm really hoping the clematis will do well. One of my fave's and I love

any flower that will continue to come back each year

hoping it will climb the fence

Last year we planted our first tree, a crape myrtle

and look at her now, she's coming back strong!

I love our little back balcony

it is so peaceful out there, especially in the morning

So I decided to make it a little more appealing and pretty

bought 2 plants to go out there but I think I need to 

add a palm out there to sit in the corner.

And the dogs just love hanging out here

that's all for now

later.....
