The First of the weekly pictures of the gardens- I like to see the difference of the growth, now granted the spring flowers will go away, but I thought they looked pretty. Just wanted to share.

Last week we had a few days of warmth-it was great and things really started to come up. Now if I can keep the animals from pulling up the newly planted hostas that I split from others. I think things will really be filled in this year.

The hamocks came out on Saturday and Dad and I both took time to enjoy them. Always need to take time to smell the roses by laying and just listening to the sounds of nature.

Goodbye Tramp

YESSSSSS!!!!!! After many tries and much inpatience I finally succeed in down loading pictures from the camera to the computer. We had wanted to show the pictures of what happened to the Trampoline during a major storm.

There were marks on the swingset and the wood around the play area where the Trampoline was dragged and tried to resist the power of the wind, but the wind won. It finally ended wedged in between the trees. It took some work but Dad and I were able to get it freed from the trees. We gave the mat and springs to the Larsons. The net went into the trash and all the metal we sold to a metal salvage place for 3 bucks Whahoo!!!!!

We shall miss the trampoline, hopefully we will replace it. Ally, when she is better likes to jump, as does her friends.

Dad suggested that we buy a 10ft tramp put in in the ground in front of the swings so kids can swing, jump off onto the tramp and then do a flip onto the ground. I believe Dad thinks we are all gymnasts. I'm sure in his youth he would of loved to try that.
