Mother Day FUN!!!!

It was a BEAUTIFUL day for MOTHER'S Yesterday!!
What a GREAT DAY for more PROJECTS!!

Carrie got Bill a Topsy Turvy on clearance last Fall, so it was time to assemble it.
Bill was a GREAT SPORT about the first 10 pictures,
he got a little grumpy after that!

Here he is reading the directions!
Proof that guys CAN read directions.
He pointed out that it claims this will last for YEARS!
We'll see!
(Note, we are currently getting 25+MPH winds,
we had to move Mr Topsy to a secured area)


This is a Mountain Pride Red Tomato.
Now the trick is to get it inside!

HELLO DOWN THERE!!!!

TA DA!!
Just like on TV!!

Meanwhile, our oldest cat, Chemi (she's 11) decided to climb on top of a table cloth that was sitting on a large tree pot. The Pot had been used the night before to protect a Hydrangea from the Frost. Chemi thought it made a nice little hammock!

The fun didn't end there!

Bill had broken a tooth on his chain saw on Saturday cutting
up the Silver Maple. Never Fear!! Aaron to the rescue!
Apparently his been know to stop at total strangers homes
in order to help people cut down trees.


Here he is trying to avoid the ole' Plumber's well...you know!

Not to be left out.....Julie took a turn at the wheelbarrow!

Of course Bodee had to give little Cougar a squeeze!

Dude! HOLD ON!!!

Before you think this was total Cat abuse.
Bodee found a stick and a stump, what more
could a boy want????

Cougar was feeling dis'ed.
Here comes Cougar!!!

"Come on kid, I'm MUCH more fun than a stick!"


Hey Bodee!

GOTCHA!

They were VERY helpful!!

So, after Aaron helped Bill hold the ladder so I could take the piece
of new flashing down. Yes, the siding we JUST had put up. It took them 5 months to
'finish' the job, and one wind storm to knock a piece loose.
Let's not even get into the leaks in the house. Bill's call, the guy hung up on him.
Ben Schulte Construction from Amana - Don't DO IT!

After that fun, we planted the garden, mow the agility yards, put up more electric fence to give the ponies 3 different pastures. Then mowed one of the pastures I didn't get to on Saturday, started to mow the rest of the yard, but Bill took over so I could rearrange my north planter. Sprayed a gallon of my favorite liquid 'Round Up' and came in to take LONG HOT BATH.

Bill, meanwhile took a Raccoon across the road for a 'visit'.

Another really productive, yet exhausting weekend.
Makes Mondays at work down right RELAXING!!

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day too!

The two best pics were Bill reading the directions (did he follow them?) and the little guy with Cougar. Really did lol! Wish I had half your energy (or not)!
