Yes, That's my girl! I had an order to put a hummingbird on this bench. Now if they will just come and pick it up and pay for it.



This bench will be going by a grave here at Jericho Church cemetery.

We have a new sign outside the shop now. I am making another to hang under this one.

It says the same on both sides.

Here is Terry's latest creations. He bought a bunch of wheeled dollies at an auction and had the bright idea to use the wheels to make wheelbarrows. He's made 3 now and is asking about $45 or $50 each.

The guy that own White Oak Cabins saw this piece of wood and thought it looked like an oak tree. He wanted Terry to find a nice stump and make a table out of it. I have 2 coats of varnish on the top. It looks really nice.

You have to click on the picture to see it larger to appreciate the colors.

Here are a few more pretty ladies in their pretty ball gowns.

Thes are pictures taken from Sis's cell phone. The bottom two pictures were emailed to blogger while we were fishing but for some reason I couldn't get the last 3 to send so I came home and uploaded them. Thats about a 3 ft. carp she has on the end of that pole but we never got to see it before it broke the line.

Rats! It got away!

If only it would quit raining! The flowers are blooming beautifully now but the rain is making them all fall over. I think this lavender one above is my favorite. Of course the picture does not do it justice. It is a really rich lavender color. I wish you could see it. Does any one have any that I don't have? I would be willing to trade. I haven't gotten all the pictures posted yet, I am waiting for a nice sunny day to get some good pictures.

They are coming on pretty fast now. That last rain didn't help them any, it wants to knock them over. I am amazed how much better the digital cameras take pictures of flowers. I had pictures of these that I took with the film camera and I had to delete all of them because the colors were so bad. The digital takes them so true to life.

Sis found a cat today. It came up to her while she was fishing at the pond. It is a long haired, orange and white tom. It must have been on its own for quit some time because its fur was so matted and it was covered in ticks. She brought it in and put it in a cage until I had time to work on it. Tonight I got my sissors out and a pair of tweezers and got to work. Both sides of its body was so matted that I had to take the sissors and get under the mat and cut it away and it peeled off like a blanket. I know it must have hurt to have the hair pulled so tight. It was so tight to the body that I did snip the skin a couple times where I could hardly get the sissors in between. Now it has both sides shaved to the skin and has a mohawk about two inches wide all the way down his back. We just stuck him back outside by the food bowl when we were done. I don't know if we will ever see him again but I know he is going away feeling better then he came.

So I lied, sorry about that. Looks like the blogs that we write here do show up on
The Meetin Place page. It just took it a couple days to get there. Go there to see all the latest blogs. It just took me a while to figure that out because some of you guys don't blog often enough I guess. Get with it girls!

They came home some happy campers from this hunt! 139 mushrooms! We be eatin good tonight!
Here is the next batch to show their colors. I can only find maybe one or two plants that may not bloom. This is going to be a pretty good year for iris.

It looks like the new blog spot

The Meetin Place isn't going to do what I thought it would. I thought that when each one of you guys would blog on Blogger that it would show up there but it isn't showing there. So, plan B, If everybody wants to move over there and blog on that page instead of on Blogger then you can also read all the blogs there. You can upload photos and everything just like here. It may be to big a change and to much bother but it is there if you want to.

Here is an inviting scene for you. My beautiful ladies are back! These are dressed in a delicate gown of solid purple with beautiful yellow accents at the neck. Stay tuned for more of these beautiful ladies arrayed in many beautiful hues. Notice the nice swing in the background just waiting for passenger to rock in the gentle breeze.




When you do this above, you get this below. I guess she thinks she is safe this close to Mommy.

I tell you ____ when...

I tell you ____ when you follow Terry on a mushroom hunt, you go on a hike. We are up above Granny and Grandpa's house above the ____ cleared(?) the top of the hill and I think we have got four mushrooms but he ain't stopping yet he is going down the other side so, I'd better catch up. listen

I found a place, signed up and called it The Meetin Place. What I like about it is that you can read all the blogs on one page. It could be so much more, if we all participate but that is up to you. If you would like to participate, just go to the page and sign up. Then you can write messages, read all the blogs and whatever else is available. Just explore it, click on stuff and see if it is something you want to do.

I just had to document this, something I never dreamed I would hear from my teenage daughter. Something society always said would never happen. She just told me, "You're like my best friend, you understand me." Wow, na-na-na-na-na! Take that, society!

I probably show these tulips every year but they are always so pretty after a cold, bleak winter.




I woke up one morning at Bea's and noticed this in the front yard. They were just wandering thru.

Still selling wooden benches regularly. I have one to put a picture on. Need to get started on that.

Sold these two last week. $40 ea

Here is a website called PC.com that is created for people who want to learn basic information about computers. I heard that it is a big help. Check it out and see if it is any help.

I guess Sis gets bragging rights, She found 3 mushrooms last night. Her daddy was really proud of her.
Well, tell us where you were and what was going through your mind during the earth quake. I was asleep on Bea's couch and was rudely awaken by the shaking and rattleing. The house was shaking and the pictures on the walls were swaying. I knew what was happening but it was going on so long I was wondering if I needed to find a doorway to stand in. I was scary and I don't look forward to going through that again any time soon. Terry call me at 8am and said that Sis slept through it but he didn't. He thought it was a nuclear bomb or something. He said the dogs were all barking too. Then this morning at 11:15 was the aftershock at 4.5 and Sis felt that one and called me all excited. Well we had our excitment for a while.

Sorry, no mushrooms

Sorry, no mushrooms. Oh well, either I'm not very good at this or they're not up yet but we all know the answer to that question. I'm not very good, is it. Well, I'll just quit and enjoy my walked in. listen

It's 10 o'clock on the...

It's 10 o'clock on the morning in this beautiful sun shiny day and I'm out for a walk. I've got about 7 dogs trailing me and we're just enjoying the morning. I'm gonna look for some mushrooms on the way back. I think it kinda interferes with the rhythm of the walk to have to look for mushrooms but it would be nice if I could find one before Terry does. I would get bragging rights there and wouldn't I? Well, wish me luck. Bye bye. listen

Click here to see Sis's new blog. She canceled the last on and made a new one, on my google account so that she don't have to sign me out of Google and sign herself in every time. This way I can stay signed in. It is just that it looks like it is my blog, posted by me but it is hers and she wants to try writing more but I don't know if it will happen.

Well, what's going on...

Well, what's going on at our house today, is Terry is cutting some trees out here on our land, you might be able to hear him in the background, he couldn't get anybody else to get him some trees, so he come over to our house, he said they could probably find 15 or 20 trees and take them to the sell them so the man is in his element today, that's right where he belongs. listen

This is Wednesday morning...

This is Wednesday morning and I finally got a day off, so I've been out here digging in my Irises. Trying to get all the grass, I did that Sunday afternoon too and ended up with a backache so bad I could hardly sit. but I've recovered from that and now I'm back at it again. 'Coz it's a big job, trying to get all the grass out of my Irises, so they will bloom this year. They didn't bloom at all last year and I was so disappointed, but that was because of the frost. It froze and it killed the bloom, so hopefully this year we won't have that problem and they're gonna be so beautiful. So, I've gotten almost all the way down one side of the driveway. And then I'll gotta go down the other side. And I'll show you a picture when I get them all done. I decided to blog this way because I can't seem to ever get the time to sit down and turn the computer on. listen

Here is what we are looking for but we are not quite there yet.

Say hi to Mrs. Bea

These benches are getting pretty popular around here. The lady that bought this one called back and ordered 5 more to give to friends and neighbors. She didnt want the pictures on all of them, thank goodness!, just one.

This is old news, from the last high water but here are some photos Mom took. It may happen again, I heard we are in for another 2-4 inches in the next few days.
