Sold!

Plow and Hearth had their bi-annual tent sale. See the cool things I got for the yard?

A new all wicker swing to replace the nasty steel tube and rotten wood one.

The new glider on the porch.

A plethora of pansies.

Catching my breath.

I'm still trying to catch up from last weekend. We went to the Maryland shore for a little R & R. Here are a few pics from our trip.

Sit a spell.

The Coast

Flowering plum tree in the front. It doesn't produce fruit. I think the "plum" refers to the leaf color.

Japanese maple in the front yard.

My favorite place to laze around this summer.

My Elroy at his favorite time - naptime.

Azaleas by my front porch

For pure cuteness' sake, I present Mr. Woogie-Pants.

Starting Point

I'm going through my older pictures and putting some up so you can get an idea of what I was starting from. Perhaps I"ll poke around with the camera today after I pick up a couple truckloads of mulch.

New House

I've been getting a lot of requests for photos of my new house. I've set up this site just to satisfy those of you who have been asking. Hopefully, I can document continuing progress on my little plot of land and humble abode.
