Garden project

 Angela and I pulled most of the weeds from the front bed - forgot a before picture of this side, but it looked something like this:
 baby birds in the green house - they look NAKED and HOT...
 The crew hard at work making a row...

finishing up the last little bit...
 the work crew!  (Ok, I look like a freaking GIANT in here - and no, I'm not standing on the row!)
we ended up with two rows but only one full one and one partial row filled with tomatoes - by June we'll be staking them to keep them upright!
Dad checked our progress and put together a final soaker hose out of the last partial one on the fence.  Life is good!

After Graduation party!

 Mori, Jasmine, Jasmines cousin, Shawn, Gloria, Lizzie and not pictured is Greg (seen below behind the blue float)
 Baily snuck in later along with Greg who came back from his other party :)
 Shawn bombing the rest!


Fun and games pool size - what could be better?

Birds, Birds and a few squirrels!

 I'm so happy to see DOVES in there!!!


Elizabeth has graduated!!

Wouldn't you know it - my camera decided it was too low of light to take the picture when she was shaking the FIRST hand... it took it as she walked away... never to be seen from the front again!!!  AND we were on the opposite side from where she was walking into the venue... so we didn't even get to see her walk in :(

Yes, I will be purchasing the pictures from the school!!
Gloria, Liz Shawn, Mori, Bailey
Kayla B - her soon to be roommate at Georgia Southern!
Grandmothers with the graduate!

We are SO confused on where to look, eh?

Our (not so) little friends










There are two of these guys in the garage. This is the bigger of the two. He managed to get "stranded" as the door went up. He's well over 6" tip to tip.

I'm pretty sure he is the same one I walked out the other morning to him sitting on the carpet right outside the door. I squeaked and told him he really needs to find a new home. He's so fat he clunked as he tried to scurry under the freezer. BIG guy! Wonder how we would catch them to relocate them.

Outdoor Curtains!




Butch putting in the wire curtain rod...

Very nice!!


Even from the inside. And it's not a super hot and sunny day yet...


Look how much shade this gives. Can't wait to see the difference this summer.



Round table makeover

Before - needs a little love








Ok maybe a lot of love...




First coats of paint...




Getting ready to tile!!








Tiles!! As of Saturday morning I had tile done. Now grout!




And we're grouted!!! Whoop whoop!

In its glory in the sun shine

And with a carpet put down along with all the chairs surrounding




And me enjoying the partial shade of the curtains in the queen chair. ;)

Wood bees






So I thought all THIS was from trees dropping whatever because it really is pollen and fluff drip time. Until I heard a buzzzzz of a wood bee. I didn't give him too much thought as we really don't have exposed wood until he stopped buzzing and I watched him crawl into HERE!




Why yes, that little stinker is in there boring away at my shelf. Yikes!!
Not sure if I can get the whole plugged while he's away from home or not... Guess I'll just let him eat this shelf :(



Yep that big ole bee went into the hole. Here's the kicker it went in the hole she created through the metal hole!! I thought she went into the hole you can see. Nope - sneakier than I thought!
