The Garden 2011

Here is what I picked last night!

This is my "gardening outfit" after wearing it all summer, Ash told me I could go pick out anything I wanted if I would just stop wearing it! So what... if they are just my sweats I wore all winter- and of course I cut the bottoms off for summer. . . I guess I am a "wear it out kind of girl" . . . and I don't think it is a good thing!

Logan my camera man!

Picking Peas

The fair parade! Logan said he would go in the fire truck with Ash if Kelli stayed and got candy on the side of the road. So they could split it later. . . I think it is in the garbage.. because mom ended up eating most of it!

BaCkYaRd ReMoDel

This is the new SOCCER FIELD , Thus the reason for the remodel; I am just waiting to walk outside one day and see lines painted in my grass!

I get asked all the time "How do you get Ash to do all this stuff for you?" and I can honestly say I really don't now. He just always needs a project to be working on, which by all means is fine with me!!!!

The new garden and walking path, Which I designed and laid MYSELF! --minus Ash "adjusting it" the next day, but I am pretty proud!

The view from the top deck.

And the pond I have fought for, for the last 10 years! and now that I have one guess where I find Ash every night and some afternoons. . . sitting by "his" pond watching his goldfish play!

Before I end I need to give a BIG shout out and THANK YOU to the Netz Family for remodeling their backyard and making mine possible!

And Ash; He is referred to as MR WONDERFUL around here for a reason! LOVE YOU BABE!

Thanks Aunt Kathy !

One thing many people don't realize when they're younger--but which becomes crystal clear with age-- is that life is incredibly precious. Every moment counts. You have it within you to live each of those moments to the fullest. If you make the decision to keep your body and mind in the best possible shape, It's going to help ensure that your time on this earth is not only long but, most important, well lived."

"If there is a single factor that is the foundation stone for all successful aging, a factor that allows every other element, encourages every other element, and nurtures every other element, that factor must surely be a healthy SELF-IMAGE: We need to approve of ourselves, to take pride in what we have become, to feel a vibrancy in our moral sense--we must, quite simply, be happy with what we are."

Aunt Kathy just posted this on her blog and I LOVED IT! So worth sharing with ya'all!

Have a Great Weekend.

I am a Quot-aholic I would have them on every wall in my house if Ashley would let me! I just came across this quote, I think I will put it next to my pillow at night.

MOTHER LOVE IS THE FUEL

THAT ENABLES A NORMAL

HUMAN BEING TO

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
