Sharing is caring...or something like that



Wanted to share this years crop of Stargazing Lillies as they are georgous not to mention smell fantastic. The past couple of years they have been very abundant but the stalk could not support the weight. This year they are getting full sun and thriving as you can see. I wish I could bottle the fragrance and send it to all of you but I do not yet possess this power so for know you will just have to believe me. We are in the process though of our design of the landscape so hopefully we shall see some grass before years end. We also have this issue with the pine tree out front just on the otherside of our property line. This pine bleeds sap something fierce and blocks the late day sun on the one side of the house. So I called the county and after they came and inspected they gave me their blessing to cut it down. See the challenge here is that I have never cut down a tree before:) Not that I'm an idiot or anything but I just don't want to end up on YouTube as the guy who cut a tree down only for it to take out my car or fall into my house or worse take down the power lines. I know you probably saying Hire someone right? Well I can only imagine how expensive that is! Well I will let you know how that turns out. Site prep for the shed is underway and although we are making progress we keep digging up anything and everything you can imagine. For example today I found about 30 ft of metal rod buried just below the surface, also an old door knob, more beer bottles and some rather large rocks. Oh rocks I have a huge pile going right now, I will have to get a pic of them and post it. Well I suppose that what I get for buying a property that was a rental for 30 years. Till next time...


Enjoy
