WARNING NOT A PRETTY SIGHT

Alright, as embarrassing as it is, here is my backyard. Not to appealing I know. It's a work in progress. I have decided not to fix the grass until I have finished the landscape. I want a flower bed right in front of the porch with lots of colors. Hopefully my peach tree will give us peaches next year. No blooms this year.
Here is Jer cleaning out our free pond. This is were it's home will be when we install it. We are thinking of putting a water fall in the corner there by the house and porch, there will be a garden surrounding the front of the pond. And maybe even misters around the porch. I can't wait to have cold lemonade on a hot summer day relaxing.

I also have flat rock that will be making a path from the shed to the RV parking. The RV parking is going to get it's new wood chips this year and up against the fence to the left I am adding another garden for squashes and pumpkins because the take over a garden quickly so they get there own. And yes I do know that pumpkin is squash. Keep checking back I will, hopeful, have new pictures soon of progress. :)

Jessica's Performance



Jessica was is the Up with Kid production of Enchanted with Alvin and the Chipmunks. They spent 9 months working on this performance. Of course my daughter was awesome. She has a minor roll of Dorthy. There were a few kids who were INCREDIBLE. Josie was great and boy can that girl sing. Her mom say some days it gets old though because she will sing every word she speaks. Being that it's not my daughter and I don't have to deal with it I think it cute and funny. I am sure I might not think so if Jessica did that. There were some others that did very well like Tinker Bell but I don't know them as well as Josie. Over all I was quite disappointed in the performance. Given that the had 9 months of practices I expected more. Especially after Lori had 3 months to put together our church's Christmas program and it was pretty much flawless. All except one of the only 2 adults had a brain fart and forgot for a second what his next line was. But I wont say who. (I love you Jer.) Jessica has already decided not to do this again next year. She thinks that she might like to have some piano lessons for a while. I guess if she does a piano performance I might have to learn to put video on here.
