A Delicious Rainy Thursday!

Today was a lovely, SLOW, cool, delicious rainy day! The high temp was recorded at 12:01 am.

It warmed up some, then the rain came in and it cooled off. The rain stayed all afternoon. When it left it warmed up a little bit but has been oh, so very pleasant!!!

Since we really don't melt when we get wet we did get out in the back yard for a while.

It was TOO wet to do much but Louis Dean managed to haul in a wheelbarrow of dirt or two from the front.

He has dug up the area by the side of the driveway. He plans to put gravel there since nothing grows but weeds. Then the camper can be parked all the way back to the stone fence and one set of tires will be on the gravel. All in good time. He gets a lot done because no one has told him a 76 year old man is not supposed to be doing all this!!

This is how the gazebo looked this morning before I started sprucing it up.

And the 'After!'

I grilled steaks while I was out there working.

Louis Dean was taking a nap. He was one happy man waking  up to these!

I kept all my tools over in the corner since I'll be back out there tomorrow evening.

This is the next area that needs a haircut.

There is a very nice two tiered stone planter under all that overgrowth!

Beyond and to the right is where the spa used to be.

We still need to do something with that space.

Maybe get some sand for a kids' sand box!

I used some pillowcases to cover the faded pillow backs on the chairs.

This one is just waiting for YOU to come visit!

Can you see the green chair just inside the French doors?

That's where I'm sitting to write now that I have Internet and can use my desk top!!

The desk is to the right and my sewing machine is to the left.

I worked on Logan's quilt today. Sewed right sides together with the batting sandwiched in and stitched it like a pillow case. I am trying to figure out how to 'close' the top. I think I have a good idea forming.

We sat outside this evening and a neighbor joined us for a little visit. Now that we're in I

think we'll watch one of our recorded programs (I LOVE being able to record again!!) and go to bed early.

Tomorrow is Friday and I will be leaving early (for me!) to go to Fort Worth and see my mother and sister!

It's MOTHER'S DAY weekend!!!!!
