At Villa Vista - second stop on garden tour Saturday. |
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
65 degrees this morning when I started out walking. A slight drizzle greeted me as I walked out the door and continued for about half of my walk. It was so light that under the trees the road wasn't even getting wet as you can see in the picture.The sun started to come out and then it rained harder and I did get a bit wet but that stopped in about 10 minutes or so and then it was mostly cloudy with a little sun once in a while. By the time I got home I was pretty much dried out.
I walked the Farm Loop and stopped to talk to Farmer Bill for a while. All is doing well at his farm and he's about to get some chickens for that chicken coop he built a while back.
Walked around a town a bit for the rest of my walk. Didn't see anyone else out.
I walked 6.4 miles

Pastor Leatherman and Kathy, invited us and 2 other couples out for lunch yesterday after church to Uno's to say Thank You for the work we've been doing around the church. It was unexpected because after all it is our church and we were more than happy to help. But it IS nice to be appreciated. We all had a great time. : ) We didn't get home until after 3 and had just a few hours before we were back at church for the evening service. I've said this before, but we are so blessed to be part of this wonderful church.

The tractor was still at church from last week doing the mulch. Eric from church has an open trailer and he lives just a few miles from us and offered the loan of his trailer to bring the tractor back home. So this morning we went to his farm first to pick up the trailer. Then we went to church and finished putting the rest of the mulch around. I had more to put around the garden by the radio station. First had to weed again and after I put the mulch down I sprinkled Preen around. Hopefully that will help with the weeds. The last of the mulch went around the playground area. We then loaded the tractor on the trailer, took it back to HT and then brought the trailer back to Eric and by then it was supper time. We've had another busy day, but it feels good to have had a good day of work.

Here are a few more pictures from the garden tour on Saturday. These are from the Villa Vista, second stop.
A little cart in the front yard.
Bubbles the talking bird who says, "Hello" to all the visitors.
Fire pit in the back yard.
This picture is from Slab's Place. Thought this was a cute little thing for plants.We bought a raffle ticket to win this little donkey cart filled with herbs from A Touch of Italy. Haven't heard anything so I guess we didn't win.
One last picture of a few plants we bought from the Garden Boutique. The two of the same are called Autumn Joy and the other one is a Lemon Scented Geranium.
Tomorrow I'll show you where I planted them. No pictures yet.
That's it for today. Hope your day has been a happy one.
happyone : )

If the sight of blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields
has the power to move you,
if the simple things of nature have a message
that you understand, rejoice,
for your soul is alive.
