Green, Green Grass of Home

Since Levi has started working for a garden center, things around our house have really "greened-up". Every corner and unused space, got mulch and plants. The place that he works is always throwing plants out back to make room for new ones. Levi just puts them right in the back of his truck and brings them home, nurses them a bit, and gets them growing good again.


This corner used to be just grass with that blasted rose bush in the very corner. Apparently the rose bush was literally toughing out until Levi rescued it by making it part of this flower bed.

Organizing the backyard garden center
check out the elaborate sprinkler system.


This is my new gazebo so I can go out and not get eaten alive by bugs (seeing as how I am so sweet). I had just uploaded the first picture and was tyrping when the kids yelled for me to come look .. My new gazibo fell over on itself pelting rain and wind. So Levi and I ran to see my gazibo and see if we could recover the canvas and screening. We are drenched and
trying !to move the frame somewhere that it could have a little support. When we got the frame in both hands and started to move it, we hear the rumbling of thunder. Not to much later we saw the lightening hitting aound. We hurried so we couldn't be zapped!

It rained so much that Levi's canoe was filled with water.
What a day!! Skidattle Alberta

Janet wants a gazebo now - I would just a well have the boat. Wyatt wants a boat. What the hell do you need a boat for when you live in the desert?
