Busy Days

 How quickly the days go by. It's been 5 days since I last posted . Our weather has been fairly pleasant so my excuse is that I was busy outside. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
This morning we had wild wind blowing the trees and shrubs while lashing them with rain.  Now, in the afternoon, the sun is out and although the wind isn't gone it has lost some of its strength.

Recently I picked up 2 jigsaw puzzles at a church garage sale that we noticed on our way back from our walk at Willband.  Both are 500 pieces, which we prefer, and the pictures are so attractive. Although we had decided not to start another one until Fall we ended up doing the one with the tractor and the cows. As you can see we made good progress.

 

  In the back yard I have an area which DH and Youngest Son covered with some metal roofing in order to protect my shade-loving Hostas, Ferns, and Heuchera from winter drowning as well as summer sun.
(The angel was found beside the street... Free... and stands guard over this area.)

 

 I liked that area so much that I created another shady corner right behind the house.
 I need to get someone to put a hook in the ceiling so I can hang that little metal birdhouse.

 Once we get very warm temperatures I'll be doing a lot of watering containers. Last count was over 40.

 

 That's it for today. Thanks for coming by.
