Did summer arrive early? Temp in the 70's during the day.

Chris is trimming trees (fortunately the trees aren't very big). Our original trees were removed about 4 years ago when we had to cap off our water line from under the house run a new line around the side and to the back. We missed the shade so planted new trees last year. The dogs always help by mulching some of the branches.




This is our second try at planting bushes in front of the house. Summer before last the heat totally fried the bushes. The side bushes died two summers in a row so we are on our third planting there.

With honeysuckle bushes you get the unpleasant task of dealing with aphids. Trying a new spray hopefully to get rid of these pests.



Finally put door/drawer knobs in the kitchen. You'll have to ask Chris, the contractor, about the double knobs on the small drawer!
