We're still preparing to re-roof the house next month... one of our helpers has bailed, we have to make sure the other one can be there or we may have to try and find a way to budget a professional to come do it. For now it's patched up, and we're ripping out moldy ceilings and such (well, sort of... long story, which will require way more pics.) to try and keep any biohazards out. Anyway, note the light gray patching which I did, and later covered with black roofing patch... much less water is leaking into the bedrooms now!
Sarah-doggie, pictured here looking perplexed at a doggie treat, is loving being an indoor doggie but shedding like CRAZY!!! What hte heck?????
M, the unofficially-adopted daughter, had her 18th birthday in May! Here we are celebrating at Red Lobster. Behind us, you might notice, is the huge aquarium with the large crabs. We ate some of their cousins during our meal... I was not too impressed, but James and M liked them! I enjoyed the shrimp, and shockingly... I enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms, which DID contain both lobster and crab meats. 
Here are greens and brocolli growin in my garden, along with weeds and the impossible-to-remove poppies.
My husband has decided to grow a goatee. HOT, is he not? it's getting longer and fuller these days too.
Yes, I did build a trellis completely out of bits of leftover yarn and discarded yarned creations. I planted two very-cool types of beans that climb this year... I forget what kind these are, but the others are called asparagus beans and the instructions tell you to pick the beans, for best flavor, when they are eighteen INCHES or smaller. I kid you not... the things should be huge! How fun is that?!
As always, poison ivy is attempting to steal my soul. Here it is growing in my garden/poppy patch.
Sarah-doggie, looking cute like always. And last but not least... a pic and poem.

The goatie makes James look older :-)
I think those flowers are rudbeckias?
oh. you don't like crabs? probably because middle America has no idea how to cook them properly - that would be chesapeake style. Where we are eating them to oblivion (well, I refuse to eat females - if they's just leave the females alone there'd be plenty).
We are power washing the deck preparing to stain it (husband is as I type). I must go emotionally support him since it IS father's day (and both kids have already called...Jess at home with new bebe and Jay working in Florida). Quite day at home - I started the day with planting! I have lots of rescued plants from the veggie stand this year! =]
LOVE the pics and your adorable doggie - just so cute - hope you get the roof done with no problems!! take care
Awww, doggie is SO CUTE! I'm glad some progress has been made with the roof. I hope it gets all fixed. Happy Belated Birthday to M! That trellis looks awesome. Great pics!
