out in the yard

My cousin's new car.

The new spiral tree. Pretty fancy.

Pad Thai and Papaya Salad for lunch.

The new bird bath. Souwan hopes to get pictures of birds with this.

Where the family hangs out on warm days and nights.

Over the weekend my family spent a lot of time doing yard work. We planted a new tree, got a bird bath, & planted more plants in the garden. The beauty of nature is amazing. If only I could get paid for how long I stay outside! Well I still would not be a millionaire. I'm only outside if there are gardens involved. Our garden & new tree was able to whether the storm from last night. My tomatoes and green peppers did not make it. RIP. A lot of the patio furniture was scattered across the deck. The park across from us had a huge tree fall down. Some of the surrounding area had been left with no power for hours. The main interstate that I take to work had been shut down due to damages from the storm. What usually would take an hour took two 1/2 hrs. Ridiculous traffic!! I got home safe and have an interesting tale. Happy Tuesday friends!
