Thought it might be time (thanks to Sydney) that I start a new thread, forget from time to time that some are on dial up....

Know it's almost 2pm, boys and family have all left and this mom is tired out..got ALL my projects on 'to do' list done, lol, maybe that's because I said they couldn't start uncovering the "Foxy Lady" until chores were done..think they are hoping for warm weather for the long weekend..so, in no time at all my 3 trees out front were set in, the old gazebo metal structure that fell last year was made into 2 arbors which were installed on both ends of a treed area which is my secret garden..do have a nice arbour in front, but thought once the shrubs and trees grow, it truly will be hidden, can't waste the metal right..my boys seem to think that yes, these pieces could go out in the garbage..not on your life..lol.., then poles cemented in for an 8' fence piece that I'll attach lattice to..hopefully it will hide part of the neighbors eye sore..(now to find quick growing vines) !

I tried my hand at a B&B last year and truly enjoyed it, so I'm organizing myself to properly run one part time this summer to take the hotels/other are B & B's overflow so Bernice across the road who ran 'Beyond the Garden Gate' B&B and found it too much at her age and health issues, gave me her sign..so the boys dug holes and cemented the sign which needs upkeep..they so wanted me to wait until the white "mom" won and it's now up..

Greg is gone home to work on his pool, Jeff left to go dirtbiking and then back to the city and Greg will pick up the Foxy Lady and take it in for spring servicing for me....so it's been quite a day..actually quite a weekend..I've so enjoyed it..oops..forgot to mention I got the 3 tries, gift certificate for local nursery and a water feature for front deck....will show you a picture once it's out of the box and in operation..right now, it's off for a warm bath, temps are dropping and guess I'm tired as now I've the chills..now I can enjoy my aft. and evening on my own, feet up and resting..well not quite..

Do hope you all are enjoying your day!
