STILL PLANTING

Good Morning.  The weather has started getting pretty hot so I only work outside until lunch time.  This morning I did some weeding and planted my rhododendron.  The reason I planted the rhododendron was because Kevin is planting his garden today and I know he is going to be very busy.

I also finished mowing the grass.  Of course, the first section of grass I cut needs it again. 

Late yesterday afternoon I finally ironed the material.  This afternoon I worked on Brian and Tracy’s placemat.  I’m getting there slow but sure.  I also cut several more patterns for one of my sewing projects.  I then laid the patterns out on the material and cut the material. I have now pinned the first couple of pieces.  I am making cell phone holders.  I am making mine first to be sure I am doing them correctly.  Next step is getting out the sewing machine and sewing the pieces together.  I’ll let you know how they turn out.

I also went down to Kevin’s garden and took some pictures.  Rebecca (Bruce and Jennifer’s daughter) is here helping him get everything planted.  Here they are planting tomatoes.

Every once in a while they jump in the pool to cool off, and cool off they do.  Kevin said the water is 78 degrees.  Yesterday afternoon Kevin cleaned the pool so it is ready for summer.

 

Later in the afternoon I heard some gunshots.  Apparently, Kevin and Rebecca were finished planting for the day so he took her to the “shooting range” in the woods and they both got in some practice.  I understand she is a really good shot.

Yesterday morning at the quarterly breakfast Kevin and Bruce received the Commanding General’s Achievement Award for Civilian Service.  Congratulations to both of you!!!!!

After supper I watered the trees and bushes, including the new ones on my side of the yard.  Now, I am finished.  That’s it for today!
