Good Afternoon Everyone!
I'm glad to hear Janet should be back today!!
Mo your plans look good to me.
Jo, the next time I have any problems with electronics, I'll call you first!
Hey to everybody else.
Here are some pictures of the patio. Of course things aren't finished and it still looks a bit unsightly with the dirt and weeds in a few spots. I will plant grass if it looks like my job is in the ditch. Eventually this will be a little oasis for Doug and I.
Long shot from the yard.
The empty square is where our water feature will start with a rock formation and a fountain. It will lead to a small pond towards the right of the picture. The pipe that is sticking up has the electrics for the hot tub. That is a cement slab for it to sit on.
The step that Doug built. That's the doggie door. There is a small whole there that we need to patch. Evidently the dryer vent was there at one time.
The patio door with some steps.
Where you see the blue pool will be a 12X12 octagon deck. We will build that ourselves.
This is the rest of the yard from the patio. The dirt is where the pond and some flower beds will be.
The weather vein we bought at Shipshewana.
Actually the whole back yard will be an ongoing project. The 2 trees are red buds. Once they are big enough, I will make some flower beds around them. I love flowers that attract the butterflies and hummingbirds. Speaking of which, I've got some pics of a female hummingbird.
Not easy to get with my camera. They are so cute. They really go crazy at the feeders at this time of year. I have 2 females and 2 males. They are constantly battling over the feeder. I have another feeder in front of the house. I don't think they've noticed it. I may have to put it around back.
Anyways, that's my patio. I'll take more pictures as we progress.
Gotta get upstairs. We're having pizza and pasta. It should be ready!
Later people!

with the clothes. I should say I like shopping online for my kids, but yeah for myself...I gotta go to the store to try things on. 
I'm excited for her, but I'm going to miss having her around all day. We've become such great friends as well as mother/daughter. 
We are having class on Wednesday but I won't be able to make it since it is Lindsey's first day of school plus DR's daycare is closed. I don't have to go back until next Monday for a final test. 
Where did the time go? He's excited, but a little apprehensive about it. I started the kids on some workbooks to get them in school mode. Yeah, they really are lovin' that! NOT! 
It's a good thing I am working some OT between now and time to go. I've mainly been buying gifts for Rockie - lanyard w/pouch, pins, hidden Mickey book, some earrings.
