Visitor stopped in for lunch.

The bald eagle stopped in today for lunch. I saw it land in a tree on the other side of the lake.



Lost another table.

Last week Linda and I pick out a nice glass topped table for the sun room. We got the table and chairs from K-Mart's Martha Stuarts collection. Last night we were sitting at the table commenting on how much we like the set, and how well it fit on the porch.



This morning at 6:35 am, there was a crash and the table had self destructed. I don't think it could stand the pressure of being liked. Back to K-Mart, and there are no tables left in there stores that match this one ( I think they all fell apart). We could get our money back, but I think I will try to build a new top for the table.






As a side note this is the second Martha Stuart table that we have had blow up.

More work on the yard.

More dirt got moved in the yard. The first picture is the yard in September 2007. The big green pile in back of the black silt fence is the old lawn. When we had the sewer work done the contractor pushed the lawn into a big pile, so he could dig.

This past weekend I got some more of the pile move back to where it belongs. I will be planting grass shortly.



Filling Holes.

We have been a little distracted because of a new baby, but I have had time to move some dirt. The first picture shows a hole that Ryan and I dug when I first got the tractor. The hole was dug when we pulled out our first bush. It has grown over but the hole is still there. Every so often I end up putting a wheel from the lawn mower in the hole.


The second picture show the hole filled and grass starting to grow.
