SPRING AT LAST, THANK YOU LORD

-

Hello my dear lovely readers! This blog post is photo heavy and should be named : A TRIP AROUND THE HOUSE WITH BUDDY.
The pictures are actually displayed last pictures first but I didn’t want to fight with blogger or my lacking abilities so I just left them the way they uploaded. Thank you for your patience🙂.
So, here we go…

The back of our house is just lovely right now with all the flowering trees.


The side of our house that faces the road where the new gas generator was installed. Not pretty. Except for the Snowball bush. It smells heavenly.




I think this is a Crepe Mertle tree.

This is where the ditch problem was that the contractor left us with. Roger and 2 neighbors worked all day last week to correct the problem and spread it with grass seed and straw. It goes from the house up to the mailbox at the top of driveway. We live in a valley.


Our house is being gobbled up by Ivy! Help!

Thankfully Buddy does not chase deer.

The diameter of the tree the freak tornato destroyed the other month.

The rest of the tree plus a sister tree that has been taken care of.

Back to the back. Lucy didn’t want to walk with us after much encouragement and promises of treats, so Buddy and I turned around and headed to the back door again.

And Buddy, Himself.

Buddy has so much energy for an older dog and loves our big spaces.



 So, we get to this lovely picture! ALYSSA AND JIMMY.❤️ Such a lovely couple, so suited to each other. Both high school teachers and teach at the same school. However our schools are huge and they probably don’t even see each other during the school day.  This is the tail end of her bridal shower that I was moaning about having to attend in my last post. (I am an introvert if you didn’t know already.). It was absolutely lovely. At a beautiful setting with a waterfall seen from the windows. About 60 women attended the catered event with cocktails and full course meal. WOW. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE GOING TO A WEDDING.❣️She received oodles of lovely gifts. I gave her a set of iron stone type dishes, white, that was on her registry. The wedding is June 22nd. Her sister, Lynsey, (who is graduating from college also in June) put on the whole shebang and did a lovely job. Nothing but the best for my son’s daughters.❤️ 


❤️ So there you have it.❤️
I hope you are also having happy moments.

SUMMER IS BEAUTIFUL

  S ince I last wrote a lot has been happening on my patch. More color, warmer temperatures, house news, and a grandson graduating from high school.  We haven’t seen summer high humidity yet and I am very thankful for that. I get very depressed when it’s beautiful outside but too awful to go out. Heart issues. I am thankful that we have actually had a lovely Spring and early summer.  The house news is that the house in Maine has been sold. In fact, it sold the same day it was listed! The house listing included 12 acres of land and an ocean view but the access we had to the shore was not allowed to be included. If my parents had sold it, it would have passed on to the new owners. I feel bad for the new owners because there’s a no trespassing sign put up by the owners of property that once belonged to my grandmother. A glitch in the acquisition laws. My parents had right of way as did I but when it left the family the right of way clause was withdrawn. So, I had to come down in price. De

HAPPY AUTUMN!

Hello dear friends! For the past several days there’s been a change in temperature and I couldn’t be happier. The windows and doors are open and the air con is off. Yay I say! So, how have you all been? If you are a sun worshiper then you are probably not as happy about the change over from Summer to Autumn or Fall, however you might say it. Being a Mainiac (as in Maine) this time of year brings on a strong desire to visit the beach to surf watch. Especially when a hurricane is approaching. My oh my! I do wish I were in the York, Oqunquit, and Wells, Maine area!  The reality is that I am at home in land locked Pennsylvania. The mountains are about to come alive with beautiful colors. Foliage peeping runs a close second to surf watching.  * There’s a lot on our plate right now. Roger is still doing his part time summer job plus we have a project about to start of having a whole house generator installed. You might not think that is a big deal but it is for us. We don’t have a gas line t
