The flowers in the front hanging pots are Begonias. They are Ken’s favorites but we’ve always had too much sun for them before. Now they get a couple of hours of early morning sun, and then shade the rest of the day. Ideal. We also have a huge pot of purple and pink petunias (Little DIane picked them out) and a trellis pot with Shrimp plants and fuchsias. I have a plant stand with red madevillas. I have butterfly bushes planted in the yard, a Shepard’s hook with two pots of red and white petunias, a basket of pink and yellow flowers, and a whisky barrel with white and red petunias, coleus, and Blue Knight Salvia. The immature front flower bed has columbine, pentestamon, and pinaple sage. It all should look pretty nice when it matures. I still have to get the clematis planted but still looking for the ideal spot for it.

Told ya I’d been trying to keep busy to keep my mind off what’s coming up!

Everything should come together…..news home for Rueben, new home for us!

I trust Bumbley with any kind of animal, so it wasn‘t a hard decision. Fee is about over Rueben pouncing on her when she’s all stretched out for a nap and pestering her every time she turns around, so I doubt if she’ll even miss him!


It’s coming along, Debby. The back is a train wreck, though. <sigh>

Beautiful flowers! The purple petunias are called Night Sky. I planted mine in the retaining wall. They got damaged in the 2 storms we had, so they are not doing well. Lack of rain is not helping.

Evening everyone, I've been gone for awhile. Last week Sunday I drove to Detroit and saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Poison, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue in concert! It was a 7 hour concert that started at 4 and didn't get over till nearly 11. Keep in mind we live little over 2 hours away so we didn't get home till almost 2am.

Then I had to wake up at 6am the following morning to drive 2 hours down south to Fort Wayne, Indiana where I would be rehearsing and working with other musicians for the week. We did photoshoots, album cover, then wrote and rehearsed our original song and practiced some cover songs.

On Thursday we got a session in a professional recording studio where we spent an hour recording our song and the following day Friday, we performed in the amphitheater outside! It seats nearly 500 so we were excited. Our show was almost 2 hours long but was worth it even though I was exhausted by the end of the week.

Luckly I have today off and I go back to work tomorrow and to add to the work like I have a job interview an hour away from me down south for a promotion in my department on Tuesday! It was a crazy week

I seem to remember those from last year, very pretty!
