12 bandana days...

Wow I started this post at 10 a.m.!


Hello
It has been a full week long /week end Landscaping Gardening
spending time with the kids before they are back to school kinda time.

Trimmings from the big tree out front re-cycle into perfect pea poles.
just need to defoliate them.

We moved the coop over into the shade of the play structure.
I could not stand them on this beautiful porch.

We worked hard Sunday cleaning it off and also doing a big project that has really left me inspired and thrilled!

Now you need to look with the eyes of completion.
The black fence once posted will be the only thing there along the line of the corner of the house.
The shed is now within better reach of the garden plots for ease of tool use.

The lab loves pool!

ya my porch is back

The front of the house got a little attention. The old spent plants taken up and the soil tilled. The folks gave us a cable dish and we were able to sell it mid morning. That was good too for the battery in the car died this morning. My Love he took to changing it out at lunch and then took the car back to his job site.
full day

We strung a new clothes line over the weekend

I did some beading

So this morning was a 12 bandannas on the line each time in the garden I use one on my hair and one around my neck to dry the sweat off my face. Oh yes it is hot!
I went on a free list run and came away empty then thought that the kids might like a choice about spending their allowance on a happy meal. Indeed they choose to do so so I took the kids for a happy meal drive through they came a way with >50 cents change. Then we came home and finished up the laundry and shut the house down for the heat of the day.
I gave them a huge treat and took them to the mall to spend the saved allowance they had on the toys they wanted and was so fortunate to fine one each for a low price. Bennie Baby 2.0. They knew a candy store that had them at $5. but when we got there...another store closing the doors...we found two at a book store.
We stopped at a Walgreen for the candy was real cheep compared and they are catching on...:) My kids were sorta stunned that a weeks earnings bought a happy meal with a lousy toy...oh such good lessons. Would that I could spare them now the difficulty but to spare them later is much more a gain to them. To see a small suffer of lesson that will give them skill...oh that is the gem.
Met Steve at the school to do the meet the teacher and had a really nice time. Oh so funny in a way...well I just have to laugh at myself...
I thought school began tomorrow...it is Wednesday it begins...could you just see me standing at the bus stop in the morning for the first day of school and the bus never coming.!
Well I had to just kid about myself and keep dignity.
I let the kids go with the daddy man and took off to go see a dear friend and to wish her happy birthday

Her now grown daughter was there and the three of us went out for a burger some good talk and then I stayed and hung out with my friend.
It was the first time I have been with her all summer our schedules just never met and it was to happen in Gods time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYE!!!!!


Now ya know it is 10 p.m.


The kids are asleep after a long time conversing with each independently when I got home. Daddy man let them watch the Choice awards...It was really exciting evidently to them of course the fact that the JONAS BROTHERS were on was the thrill!

I best go rest ....another wonderful day awaits.
I missed out on a few posts I had to do but it is the living that is a priority at the moment.

Life is very full right now.

I do hope all of you are well.
I have had little to no time to come visit.
I care about you all and fondly say a prayer for your good hearts to sty soft and the peace to come overtake you and make you praise God for your life.
