Siding is Going Up

Pete has started the siding and thinks he's about 1/2 done with it.  The gable ends and some of the other areas need to wait until the roofers return and finish the roof trim.

Enjoying the Garden

We have been enjoying the fruits of our garden this summer.  The wax beans and lettuce are done.  We're eating cabbage, tomatos, and cantelopes.  The cucumbers were prolific and delicious!  We turned the last of them into pickles.

Out with the Old, In with the New . . . Roof

Of course, the first week of July was the hottest on record here in Prosperity.  Yes, you're reading that right, our thermometer (in the shade) reads 112.  My car thermometer driving home from work read 117!!!

Finally the Roof and Siding get Started

Removing the Old

My Landscaping Continues . . .

I have been spending a lot of time digging, planting, weeding, and mulching.  I love it!  I now have 4 large beds completed and another almost done.  Enjoy!  I am!

Just kidding . . . this is in The Netherlands . . . Pete and I took a river cruise there in April!

Fence Progress

Pete tried digging the post holes with the help of Duke . . . .

Finishing the "Bunker"

Here are a few pics of the "bunker" as it blends into the landscape.  We're storing wine . . . fortunately haven't needed it for a storm shelter thus far!
