Deer are normal to have around here, but over the past few months a pair of peacocks seems to have made a 6 house block in our neighborhood their home.
Last summer, we did our front landscaping near the end of June. We focused here as that was the first thing people saw when they came up to the house. This spring I wanted to get our sides and back done a little earlier so we could enjoy the yard through the entire summer.
Here is a 'before' video from about 2.5 weeks ago.
Here is the 'after' video from today. They finished Friday and spend the day today putting some rocks along edges where it was steep to prevent erosion.
We finished Abbie’s new shelves today!
Last spring I did some pipe shelving for Noah in his room above his desk. Hunter wanted some as well but we came up with a different design for his. Like Noah’s we used reclaimed barn wood that is over 100 years old giving it a rustic feel with the pipe.
For the last few days we have been socked in with freezing fog. It makes for yucky days that seem to stay the same time all day long. There is almost zero air movement however the fog has produced some amazing frost art creations on all sorts of things outside. There must also be some slight air movement as most of the ice crystals point northward.
And Not just plants... Pic 1 - chain links, Pic 2 - Wind chimes, Pic 3 - wire stuck in the trunk of a Juniper
Today we actually got about 1 hour of partial sun so took some pics with the sun shining
Here is another example of frost art that I found on my car one morning going to work when we lived in Wales.
Amazing sunrise colors out front of the house this morning in late October.
We love to decorate the front of the house for fall. New house this year but following our similar harvest format.
With all the fires burning in the southern part of the state, air quality is now hazardous. This is the view out our back window putting visibility at under half a mile. The second two picks show the smoke levels across the state. Looks like we will be inside watching movies and playing games on this Labor Day weekend before school starts.
Heavy smoke in the air from a fire burning near Sister's creates a spooky sunset.
Pappie leaves early this evening for home and we left this morning to take the kids to camp.
Last photo before we left today. Hugs and kisses were given along with shouts out the windoed as we drove away, "LOVE you Pappie, thank you Pappie!" ❤
