~Theyre Tied!~ :-)

My peonies are tied up! Thanks to Carl :-) Do you see the VERY dark one
on the top right? there are 3 colors, white too.. :-) beautiful sight...

Where did this month go? The time is going by

faster, yet sometimes it seems its crawling. Some

days go by so fast, which of course, are the days

I'm doing something.. Sewing or what ever. When

I sit by the door, which I REALLY AM enjoying, I

feel like I SHOULD be doing something and not just

sitting around.. Then I get to thinking, well.. just WHAT

exactly do I HAVE to do every day other than LIVE

it? If it means just enjoying what I am seeing by sitting

at the door while I listen to the radio, Dutch in my lap,

I guess I really AM doing something plus its something

I ENJOY doing. While I sit there my mind wanders and

I come up with ideas of what I would like to make for

the grands, or some friends, or Pennys grands :-) I Then

go thru my attack plan of what I will need to make these

things, and do I have what I need and if I don't HOW

am I gonna get it... like my deck.. :-)
I look out the back door and I see how much space is

out there and I see a deck out there, with a railing and

flowers hanging from them that I can GET to ! :-) The

morning glories going in and out of the railing and maybe

even a swing that I could transfer to safely, now, THAT

would be a treat. I had a swing, sat on my grandmothers

porch, when she died my dad took it and made a frame

for it to sit out in their back yard. All the moves I have

made the swing is gone just like my birdbath...

I think with all the birds here they would love a bird

bath out there. I had a wonderful cement one that I

did manage to keep and I gave it to Donnie and Shirley

for the farm.. when I would go there I sat on their deck

and enjoyed it.. I think when they moved they neglected

to take it with them and Donnie thinks it may still be there.

But I cant very well go and tell them I want it now after

8 years :-) If I THOUGHT I could get it, well I WOULD

sure try, theyre kinda expensive, but worth it.. The one I

had my nephew sat in it on hot days when he was a baby

back in... I was about 12 when Michael was born, Gayles

son..so in the 60's, maybe late 50's... I bet it still is being

used somewhere, I couldn't even lift the bowl of it, it was

so heavy. Almost gave David a hernia when he tried ! :-)

Ive been mentioning to everyone I see and talk to that I

am looking for wood for a deck and I am sure hoping that

I can do it.. If I put my mind to something usually I can

figure out a way or hear of something that might help in

my quest for what ever it may be at the time... Now- my

quest is for a nice deck out back.. Many different types

have been suggested from getting palettes to using bricks.

I don't think palettes would work most arent made out

of very good wood and I don't think they would last very

long. Bricks would be nice but it would have to be built up

out there for the amount of height from the ground to

the doorstep...so that might could run into quite a bit,

where a wood deck would be better. I am NOT an expert

on this but just seems logical to me.. I had thought about

cement blocks.. but I don't know if they would work, and

I'm not sure how tall they are... by the time I get done

looking for prices and ideas and extras I will know how to

build it myself.. I WILL have a deck ! :-) and Lois says

"thank you Lord" in advance.. I believe HE will help get me

out my back door :-)

Lunch wasn't delivered till 3 yesterday and was Chris that

brought it.. I was surprised to see her.. Said she got lost.

Lunch was pretty good, ham and beans and corn bread..I

love beans, I havent made any in quite a while. I'm going

to make a couple pasties or a meat pie I havent decided

yet. Penny picked up some ground meat in case I did want

a pie. I may make them tomorrow and have my 'special'

later on :-) Id better post and do something constructive,

there might be something this GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs

to see out there in my back yard.. Id better go look :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
