Busy Day...

 I have new flowers and new garden.

I moved the red chairs out in the yard so I can sit in the sun if I want.  The table is the one Gilbert made that the kids did not want.  Greg has now taken it up and put it in Helen's house.

All 4 dogs walked with me this morning.  My dog is way ahead past the corner already.

This is a buterfly bush.  It is bright orange, but does did not come out as dark as it really is.

Dogs went all the way to Dan's gate with me.  The kids dogs lagged behind coming back, but they finally made it home.

My smoke tree is smoking.

I went to Hollister.  I got this at walmart.  It is just beautiful.

These are tables I bought almost 10 years ago, 4 for $10.  I gave them to Helen long ago.  Now I have reclaimed 3 of them and painted them yellow.  I love them by my red swing.

This is cukes and squash.

This is Greg's Park's Whopper tomatoes.  I think they will do fine like this.

The garden again.

I really like the way the walkway looks

And my swing and yellow tables.

Saturday Doings...

 Saturday morning I cleaned.  Everything.  Even Greg's bathroom. Everyting was extreemly dirty. 

Then, I went shopping. Got Hannah and Eliseo 2 hanging lantana baskets at Walmart. Did not take pictures.

Betty went to Mobile to visit a granddaughter Friday.  I have resisted calling her, but she sent pics.  I think this is the frist time she left her home state since her husband died.  Hope she has a great time.

Saturday afternooon I picked up my room and put up all my clothes laying around the room.  It was a mess because I still have a box of cemetery stuff in here that I am going to take to Helen's house today. To me it is still Helen's house.

Also, Saturday afternoon, I was attacked by the little grey bird again.  One day last week this little bird chased me off the porch and into the house by pecking at my head.  This last time it just squeeked at me a few times and then ran and hid.  I have decided it is a a titmouse that likely has a nest near the porch. Maybe in the tree about 10 feet from the porch. Google says titmouse birds next in tree cavaties. This tree has several cavaties that could house a small bird. Not my images below, but this is what she looks like, Mad Bird.

Here are some photos of Saturday's doings.

I wanted to see what bird this was. I think it is Blurry Bird.

I asked Greg to attach the metal cross here.

I had it up by the front of the house,  but the wind kept blowing it over.

Greg wanted to put tomato cages around my tomato pots. These are the little cherry tomatoes that I got for $1 each.  I snipped the top of each dollar plant and now have 4 plants.  I think they are the 100 Sweet varity, but anyway, some type of small tomato.

I also got 2 $1 plants when I went to Betty's.  Forgot what they are. but I left the signs on them so I can maybe remember.  They are perennial bush type with white blooms. I planted them in front of the smoke plant near the pole on the right by the cream can.  Several years ago I planted a bush that is some kind of dogwood thingy that will not die, but has never thrived here.  And, I forget what it is called. Over the years I have planted many plants that are supposed to be perennials that either did not return or survived but dissappointed.

I bought Greg 6 Parks Whooper tomato plants at Walmart Harrison.  I told him he had to take care of them and could plant them however he wanted.

Red Bird, Red Plant.

Thought for today

 

Cemetery Revisited

 I went back to Alpena to put flowers on Gertie and Melton Powell's grave. 

 

 

Mom and Dad

Brother Gilbert Powell

George Aday

Sister Helen Powell See and Debbie Lee.

Sister Patsy, Sammy and Janet.

And Myrle Reece. I worked with her 60 years ago. Her grave is close to the Brothers Powell so sometimes, if her flowers are faded, I change them out. They looked especially sad today, so I left sunshine yellow flowers for her. Rest easy. Myrle.
