A bit tired...

After 4 days....Danny and Duke are tired. Lily and Duke
have made every step with us this week, in the tree trimming,
fence line cleaning, flower planting, fertilizing, etc.
Everything looks great, so well worth all the effort!

SSSSsssssss.....

Ashley's new shrubs!

Applied for a couple more jobs on line this morning, first thing. Took Chelsey and Colby to school, then headed to McKinney. Ashley and I met at Starbucks, then off to Calloway's Nursery, to buy shrubs for her flower bed. After getting just what she wanted, we headed to her house to plant. I started out by setting all the plants in place (still in the pots), just as we'd planned them. While doing so, I hear SSSSSssssssss. I looked at Ashley, mind you she has dug this flower bed up TWICE due to a water leak, and said "I think the leak is back!" We open the box and like a fountain, water shoots out. We run and turn off the water at the street, I call Danny and she calls Tazz. While waiting to hear back, we plant at both ends of the flower bed. I head home...and help Danny, Aloya, and Homer finish up with the tree cutting/trimming. I'm now glad to say that Ashley just sent a picture mail, above, that the leak is fixed AGAIN, and she has now planted all the shrubs. Let's hope third time is a charm. I've heard her curse before, but WOW, she was not a happy Ashley when we discovered it today....

Poultry judging....really???


Chelsey and team made a trip to Texas A&M Commerce today, to attempt qualification for State in Poultry Judging. They came in 7th, and top 5 get to go. She was disappointed that they missed it by only 6 points. I think they had a good time at CiCi's in Greenville, putting on fake tattoos. (She's holding her shirt up to show the one on her belly) She came home with FOUR total! Good times..... She's in the green Baylor shirt.

Eatting, eatting eatting...


Colby and I went to Anna for pizza this afternoon. Seems like that kids eats ALL the time....

Lake view

Aloya, Homer, Danny and I are ALMOST finished with the fence line.....This is the view from our pool deck, down towards the lake now. It was COMPLETELY grown up with vines, trees, old dead trees, and a little trash. Beautiful! Tomorrow we should be able to finish... Another tired day, but I will say that sleeping is not an issue for Danny or myself, after working out in the beautiful sunshine all day.
