Just a few photos from last weekend
The last daisy in the garden
The burning bush has started to turn red.
Here’s that spider web, only from a different perspective.

M y mother’s parents were really into bug jewelry. I have no idea why. This beetle ring belonged to my grandfather Edward. I never met him, as he died when my mom was pregnant with me. I do know that my name starts with an E in remembrance of him. I often wish that I had been able to know him. I bet he was an interesting character.
In a recent post, Jen talked about five things that most people do not know about her and has issued a challenge for her readers to do the same, so here it goes.
I know how to read palms.
I can wallpaper a room without any help.
As a child, I was amadextrious and dyslexic. Having no dominant hand, I couldn’t even color with in the lines, which was a big deal in the 60’s, and I couldn’t do simple math because I reversed all the numbers.
A messy room drives me crazy!
I have a serious addition to Netflix. I have the four at a time plan. The movies I watch are not the typical block busters. I like foreign film, art film, thrillers, science fiction and old classic horror the best.
This is obviously the before picture. We had a lot of moisture problems, which caused the paint to peel a lot sooner than what would be considered normal. We did a lot of other work to address the moisture issues this summer too.
This is the front of our home. We are getting close to cleaning up our yard. It will be nice to finally be able to mow the lawn.
One of the fun things I was able to do was chose hardware to dress up the door length shutters that flank the front door. The three straps on each shutter are rough forged Iron dummy straps. Then we mounted the S shaped shutter dogs at the top outer corner of each shutter.
I promise that I am now done talking about siding and have gotten it all out of my system. On to the next project. More on this later.
I apologize for being gone so long. The medicine I was given for my pinched nerve made me really tired and now that I am off of it and taking Aleve, I have been playing catch up with all the stuff that I didn’t get around to doing last month. The other thing I have noticed is that my stamina has really taken a dive !
This is a picture of our breezeway, which we had sided, along with the rest of the house. I didn’t want to drill any holes in the siding to put up the pictures, so I went on the internet to look for advice. I bookmarked a site for Chris to look at that had siding hooks & My clever husband took a look at the pictures, then went into the garage and made his own version.
This room is the next best thing to going out doors for Rikki. I know I normally like to match the music to my posts but I just can’t get this pretty song out of my head. The modern class last evening was dancing to it, while I was at work.
