Donna, Thanks. I do love my grandkids, an irrigating is fun also.

Kell, I looked at the beginning of the thread again and I still can't believe your BRUGS. It amazes me. They are so beautiful. I am afraid here in Utah I am not going to be able to have such a show. No place to put them in the winter.

I still have a bit of vertigo, mainly when I bend over then stand up without thinking - then I spin a bit. (I hold onto the branches above when I walk the plank). At night when I turn the irrigation off, I keep looking over my shoulder, afraid that someone will come up behind me and push me in. (Just my phobia).

The grandkids do love the yard. There are many places to run and play on my little 1/3 of an acre. I need to make a couple of bridges over my ditch gates, I am hoping to get that done this month before going back to work.

I have had a couple of 12 year old neighbor boys helping me move rock and level the area just south of my house. It got very unruly with weeds and 'bind weed', Oh how I hate that weed. I am going to put black plastic down then bark. My pots of brugs and other annual pots will go on the bark. I hope it works well. I have 5 rose bushes in that area that I have run underground hoses from irrigation to to irrigate them, I will have to water the pots with the hose.

Walker helps me pot the plants, he is Jaxzen's older brother and the only one interested in helping at this time. Jaxzen at almost 4 years old is just interested in playing.

Thanks for your sweetness and interest. I do appreciate it. (I feel like I butted into your thread). I am still new at this and trying to figure things out. I do enjoy seeing pictures so I post mine thinking others will enjoy them also. Thanks and don't work toooooo hard.
