Very pretty! I love them all. I’m in the market for a white one, next time I happen to see one. :)
I had only seen a pink one before we ended up with this peach one. No idea they even had a white one!
Three things off my list of 10 items to do before Thursday when my youngest brother is coming to visit & spend the night. The biggy of the 3 was getting ‘flat free’ tires on the cart the mower can pull. Of course, the bearings already in the tires were the wrong size (too small) so I had to get them out (screwdriver & hammer) & get larger ones in (came with tires) which took a hammer & piece of wood plus some serious pounding. It was also my first project in the shop at the new place - great place to work!
Very warm here today @ 83° so waiting for some shade to fall on my next outside project. As predicted by my cousin who lives nearby, when it’s cold the wind howls, but when it’s hot, nary a breeze!
The next door neighbor (2 pastures over, house mostly out of sight) & his 2nd grade daughter stopped by to introduce themselves when they saw me weed eating the ditch along the road last evening. Nice folks, glad to finally meet someone.
The neighbor told me the former owner cut the bank, going up & down, with a large zero turn mower. I am trying to get my nerve up to mow down - don’t think the small mower has enough umph to mow up. That bank will be the bane of my existence if I can’t mow & have to use a weedeater.
5:50 this a.m.: peck .. peck .. peck .. but on metal, rather than wood. The ‘bad bird’ turned out to be a male bluebird. Since I know it’s not a woodpecker & it’s not pecking wood, the only thing that I am peeved about is the 5:50 a.m.wake up pecking!
I did get to watch 3 deer browsing on the other side of the fence while I was drinking my coffee this morning. They were in the yard yesterday afternoon. I suspect they are keeping an eye on the grape arbor - walked right under it yesterday.
Today is major limb trim/removal day.The pines are first, but there are 2 large dead limbs on one of the chestnut trees. My tree guy suggested he could come back in the fall (after we recover from the financial shock of taking 5 trees down) & do some trimming - the one large chestnut branch might be a stretch, but most of the rest I should be able to do. For sure, anything trying to decapitate me while mowing is a goner.
