How He Makes Me Smile and Photos
Mowing:
- the yard
- the orchard
- 2 fields around the chicken barn
- clearings around the livestock barn
- trim around the house, the boxwoods, the fences, the roadside ditches
Clear everything from the side porch and store it properly in the barn.
Continue filling the sink hole where the pool heater gas tank is buried and the rain settled the earth.
Take everything I have been throwing out of the house and attic to the landfill.
Fill the back of the Excursion with all the things I need to take to the Good Will.
Lay with me in the dark and dream about our baby.

The last time I posted a photo of my house several people commented they had never seen my house before then. Here are a couple photos. The front of the house and the back. The back view was taken before they destroyed my yard constructing the pool -which is still no where near being finished because of 8 straight days of rain. It is now 2 feet deep in rain water.
Front of house
Back of House The huge bush at the back of the house, nearly reaching the second story roof, is a boxwood. The boxwoods here are the same age as the house. We have at least 25 that size or bigger. They look like trees not shrubs.

Damson Orchard
I am off to order a truck load of mulch in preparation for the coming winter. We need about 200 cubic feet. Anyone care to volunteer to come help spread it? We do have a front end loader and cart but it will still require lots of shoveling and raking.
Angie, you have your own personal slice of Heaven there, I think. It is beautiful. I sure would like to trim those boxwoods come Christmas time. I have to buy it by the case at something like $45 each.
Thanks, Angie. That's all very pretty, including the list of Hubby "to-do's". Is that Damson orchard as in Damson plums? What do you do with them all?
"lay in the dark and dream about our baby" brought tears to my eyes-I'm so excited for you two-it's so wonderful-
Your home is so elegant and lovely-is the tee in the picture, in the back yard a type of willow-we are looking at trees and I have seen this tree and love it-
ok-now I'm off to email you........
Beautiful Angie!! It's your delicious and hearty meals that give Steven the energy to do all of these wonderful chores around the house & yard. You two are an unbeatable pair!
So so gorgeous. I absolutely LOVE your house and yard...
Now you have to show us pictures of the inside once it's decorated for Christmas!
What a beautiful house. I have seen pictures before and it is always beautiful. I want to live on a farm someday too!
I love everything about your house, but especially the trapezoid roof.
mulch to spread??? How 'bout I hold up my 'Will work for food' sign. I bet I'd be the one making out on the deal. :)
I love it.. its beautiful! What year was the house built?
Your house is absolutely gorgeous! And from those pictures you can clearly see that it's not a house it's a home.
Beautiful pictures of a lovely home.
Your house is beautiful! Breathtakingly gorgeous!
Congratulations, Angie!
