We went to Kentucky for a church homecoming, and took some time to check out properties near Irvine that we saw on Zillow. Somehow our GPS got confused in the mountains, but we found the property I had my eye on purely by accident. It is everything that I want - a view, quiet, and a small house. The only problem is that we aren't ready to retire for anot her couple years, and can't afford two mortgages. I hope the LORD will keep it for us!

Vanessa, I love your stones! I want to do that! I understand that the more you dig, the more rocks you get! I live in SoCal near Mt Baldy area! We are in Ontario...I think that all that is beneath us is made of rock piles!
My husband and I have an apple tree, a plum tree, a peach tree, an apricot tree, and a lemon tree in our backyard. We love them, but are constantly fighting with the squirrels over who really owns them! Enjoy you yard!
Can't wait to see more pics!

My sweetie and I planted 2 pear and a cherry tree yesterday. Unless we use a previously dug hole, we can expect to hit a rock. This was the latest. We are thankful that we don't have to dig a lot!

Yes, she provided a small vial of the sealer. I'm not sure that the dark grout was the better choice for the one stone, but it's already done now. Will post pictures when they're complete.

Beautiful Vanessa! Do you have to seal them after putting the grout on them?

This is the lady who held the class. Her website has some instructions for the stones.

Denise, the one with the bandana is Rose, our "wild child." The one on the dog bed in the background is Tina and I can compare her to Granny on Beverly Hillbillies.

I moved my Christmas cactus next to the geranium and they seem to have made friends. Both are blooming!

Ruth, after it malfunctioned and smoked up the whole house we removed it. My mother in law was too scared to use it. She has an electric fireplace now to add heat to her apartment.

Audra, I know that you will just love your pellet stove even though it has been a lot of work. Here in Colorado, we use ours as mostly our primary source of heat. We usually run it up through April. Enjoy your stove!!

Last night was the local Farm & Family Night at the community college. The organizers have 2 sessions of classes, a meal, a speaker, door prizes, and organizations that hand out goodies. I got so much swag that it took 2 pictures to show it all.
The two classes I took were Planting for Pollinators and Sensational Salads. I also picked up flower seeds and okra seed for my garden this year. A friend of mine won a door prize sponsored by Environflyte, which raises black fly larvae for animal feed. She kept the dried larvae, but gave me the dog accessories. Rose likes the color.
Has anyone else attended an event like this?
