Hey, get away from my trunk.......

Here are the crocus waiting to be covered......

And here is today's finished project (those are oak leaves serving as mulch...and they make a cool way to decorate too. Later this week I will plant the rest of the bulbs and 'mulch' some more.)

I spent most of my day planting flower bulbs at Aaron's. I had company during my stint at Aaron's....well, not helping me but helping himself! Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture....but let me tell you what went down: there was a squirrel, a very healthy looking squirrel, up on his hind legs reaching up into my trunk where the bulbs were sitting. I yelled 'hey'; he got down but just stood there looking at me. Not until I started toward him did he take off! But he only went as far as Aaron's mailbox where he sat looking at me again. Brasin' brat anyway!

So I went back to planting and as I covered the bulbs I got to thinking......what if he digs them up....brasin' brat. When I told Karen and Aaron, they assured me 'squirrels don't dig'. I was convinced they were right until I remembered a squirrel in Adrian who dug holes in my flower boxes and buried black walnuts in the dirt.....nice try you guys! Somebody better keep that squirrel at bay or I'm getting a sign, 'No squirrels allowed'.......I just hope he can read!

No Trick or Treaters.....BOO HOO

I 'decked out' the deck

'Storm Trooper' Ethan

Well, there were a couple Ninga's and a trooper from StarWars but they live here from time to time. Apparently, the same reason that I was able to buy this house is the reason nobody comes when October 31st rolls around....it's rural.....too rural for little ghosts and goblins. I am enjoying the pictures though!

Picture this!

Here it is! (and most of the land too). Aaron's house is through that 'dark spot' between the right end of the house and the swing set....sort of. I will have more pictures when I get back from vacation. Don't you just love it!

Well, It's Official.....and Very Moving.....

or so nearly so that Aaron has cut a hole in the fence!

We are going to be 'backyard neighbors' in Michigan Center, Michigan. (Isn't that everybody's dream come true!) I am closing on a property with house on Monday, August 31st 2009 that is located adjacent to Aaron's house with property.....he's is at 221 Tipperary and I am at 210 Venice. A portion of our backyards butt up against each other and it lays out like this: I have more yard than house......Aaron has more house than yard. Together they are perfect, and all a part of the bigger plan to own the entire block.....giggles!

I will post pictures next time.

This is IKE

This post is for Molly. Molly, this is Ike. I don't know what kind he is, how old he is, or where he got his name. I do know that he only pays attention to chickens....that's why he has been exciled to Aaron's.

That's NOT a Boo-boo, that's dirt!

That's what Denver said earlier today when we were comparing 'boo-boos'. You couldn't even see his (which he giggled about) and mine is a bruse from having blood drawn (actually, she did not get any blood from this site but sure left her mark)!

Mom says: "I like this 'clunker law'!"

Mom has been talking about getting a different car for some time (the JIMMY has left her beside the road more than once....and twice I was with her. This particular time we were going to the cemetery. Do you see the irony). So, talking turned to looking, and that has turned to buying (looks like it was worth waiting for that 'clunker law'). Now she can feel confident (and me too) whenever she wants to 'Escape'......giggles. Check it out!
