The Apprentice

I am NOT "in the way"!

I'm helping Pawpa fix his drawers again.

What do you mean "the drawer" not "his drawers"?

Scenic Sunday

Mykonos Stairway

A friend just returned from a cruise to Greece, Italy, and Turkey and she took lots of pictures. She graciously granted me permission to use a few that I really liked. Thanks Sue Ann.

Thank You. Thanks to the friends that drop by and post comments. Thanks to the friends that drop by "just to look". Special thanks to the 5 Triple A's. You know who you are. I appreciate every one of you.

Upgrade? Where?

I read in a local paper that our neighborhood park was being upgraded and volunteers had helped to clear out "brush". They completely removed a "fire" bush on the side of the building that was a beautiful red in the fall. Since they were painting the building, perhaps they felt that was necessary and I can see that it might have been. But .. I am truly dismayed by what has happened in the front of the community building. The "brush" they removed was not "brush". It was almost all of the flowers that bloomed every year and beautified the plain, brown building.

BEFORE

AFTER

This is how it looks after the "upgrade". I understand this is only "phase one" but this has been barren looking for at least a month and I feel sad every time I look at it. I feel sure there MUST have been a reason for this but I truly don't know what it could have been.

Backyard View

Stand at the arbor out back ...
Look through that space.
That one there .. on the left side ...
Second space from the top ...
Oh! There it is. The covered bridge.

Pssst: Don't tell anyone or they'll tax us for the view!

Late Bloomer

The flowers are gone on the other bushes. This bush didn't care!

Worth the wait!
