Back Again -- Finally!

So sorry to all who have been wondering: "Where are they.....why aren't they posting?" It has been a hectic summer and I can't believe it is October 31! Halloween! Bruce has been asking me to get this updated, so here goes!

We've been so busy, mostly with jobs, with church, with my Mom, etc. But the biggest event this summer has been the addition of our new garden wall behind our house. I have previously posted pictures of our garden out back, but this year the railroad ties that created the tiers were rotting and becoming unsafe. SO, we decided this was the year we had to do something about it and hired John Baker (local landscaper) to build a garden wall out of stone. (I don't think this one will deteriorate very soon!!).

It was loads of fun watching it go in, but we had to walk the dogs in front of the house instead of letting them out in the back to roam through all of the dirt. We are so glad it is done, so check out our before pictures (posted this Spring) and our after pictures. It will be so much fun seeing all of the perennials coming up this next Spring.

A Hot July Visit

What a fun afternoon we had when Tommy, Stacey and the grandkids came for a visit. It always seems like it goes so fast! To keep the little ones busy we went to Krider Gardens and strolled through the beautiful gardens there. Then we drove (it was something like 90 degrees, so we were lazy) to Vic's for ice cream. Wish we could do it more often! We love you guys!

The "Woofs" of BKWoofs

Here's our "children" since our children left home. (Very little resemblance!) :)

Domino (can you figure out why we named him Domino?) and Taffy are so much fun and it's nice to be greeted by them at the end of a long day. Domino is our great defender that keeps away all of the neighborhood cats, chipmunks, raccoons, possums, etc., and Taffy tries to stay out of Domino's way.

Garden Pics from God's Country

This is was our garden in the "June" stage. It changes with the month..........various flowers blooming for awhile and then something else later. It's a fun hobby, although I wish I could spend more time at it. Oh, well..........one of these days I'll be retired and can pursue ALL my hobbies. :) What a great thought!

Busy 4th of July Weekend!!

This is my first post on the new blog.......you know, I love keeping up with all of the technology, and this should be a fun way to share photographs with the kids and family! Sometimes it takes me awhile to figure it all out, so bear with me. :)

Bruce and I had a terrific weekend, although it was actually busier than expected. We had a great visit with grandkids in Indy this weekend, went to a 4th of July party at the lake on Saturday, and then visited my Mom at Grace Village on Sunday after church. The lake was beautiful, it was a perfect day weather-wise, and we enjoyed lots of good company and conversation.
