Hanging Out on the Weekend

My neice came over to visit last weekend, and we called a Hiatus. Hanging out playing with an eight year old can remind you of what's really important in life.


The water garden that we took apart and mucked out this spring has grown in nicely this year.


We were having a tree removed from the front of the house, because it was hanging over the roof, and it makes a tree unstable to cut off all the limbs on just one side. While the tree guys were here, we decided that the pond needs more light, so we had one removed back here too.


The water hyacinths growing in the streamlet don't really get enough light to bloom, but they filter the water, and grow fantastically large and perfect in their green form.


One of Hubby's friends(retired) heats his home with a wood stove, and he was glad to get the wood. He's been coming over during the day to chop and split the logs, and haul them back to his place.


The patterns of our lives are intertwined and unique, yet they take on the same rythms as they always have: family, friends, work and worry, and an occasional par-tay!

So, my friends, party hearty and enjoy it all while you can.
