No More "Rolling Pins"

So the other morning I hear something and and look out the window, to see this truck by the road....

soon this guy is putzing up the driveway with his load of lumber...

soon things started happening....

Bob's latest creation....

is this pergola...a VERY LARGE pergola....stay tuned for the finished product.

This evening............

It has been a rainy day. We woke up to thunder and no power this morning and it has rained most of the day. I decided to take a walk around the yard this evening - so I put on my RED rubber shoes and headed out the door with my camera.

The sky looked pretty creepy...we have a thunderstorm warning and tornado watch.

The swans were in the yard and did not head for the water when they saw me. One of them hissed at me, but I stood my ground!! (If the day comes when one of them chases me I will be running for higher ground!!!!!!)

This is the overflow tube - the pond is surely overflowing.

Next I went in the barn and Baby came just close enough that I got a shot of her peeking around the boat trailer. I used the flash because it was so dark in there - and Baby's eyes are glowing green!

Snapped a pic of the tractor just because all the rain had made it soooo bright and clean looking.

Couldn't take shot of the yard without including Bob's "sculptures" I call them the giant rolling pins!

The garden. The raised beds are great. The ground, on the other hand, is waaaay too soggy to plant. Cold or soggy - I don't think we will have a bumper crop of anything this year!

As I headed back to the house Toe-Toes greated me on the deck.

I stopped at the door and took a few shots

of the Hummingbirds....

They are loving this rainy evening!!

The Project Continues

Just the other day Shelly asked me about this and I told her it appeared Bob's latest project was on hold. BUT when I got home yesterday he had made a lot of progress (with Mark's help). Hopefully more pictures will come SOON! Can't wait to see what it turns out to be!!!! Just kidding- I know, I just don't know exactly what the finished product will look like. Now the pictures below were taken the other day when Bob stopped in to a very small nursery to see if they had any weeping willow trees (I LOVE weeping willows). I stayed in the truck because they had only about 10 plants (yes, slight exaggeration) - soon I saw Bob out in the field where a tree was down and the trunk was "sprouting" suckers and there was my husband breaking them off. The owner had no willows for sale and told him to help himself to the branches.

Here is a very happy Bob with his "free trees". They are currently rooting (we hope) in the pond.
