What is your weather like ... today

[gardengirl]

Wow! You turned all that red dirt into a beautiful home! Where did the pole go?

 

[sissy]

It still hangs out there and stupid guide wire gets in my way when mowing.I was just telling hubby we buy ugly and make pretty and then we sell .My house in NJ 4 pics together in last one

 

[gardengirl]

Ok how big was nj house?

 

[CountryEscape]

Don't let the guide wire get in your way, Sissy, plant around it! But, then, I'm forever looking for new areas to plant. Pretty soon my back yard is going to be just landscaping, thinking of making pathways in and around it, and having less to mow there. I have plenty of yard to the sides and front for open areas. LOL

that one was 2400 sq. ft.on 2 floors and this one is 2440 sq. ft on 1 floor . ,but the basement is plumbed at this house for a kitchen laundry room and 2 bathrooms .Slab is also insulated but only put plumbing in for future resale value .I did the shed at the NJ house with a covered front porch and lawnmowers lived there

 

[sissy]

teddy bear cottage I built and bench and fence .Sorry could not scan them had to take pics of pics and they are glossy

 

[gardengirl]

I have to admit the shed with front porch threw me off!! And the picture of house was not the whole house. I got confused!!! Happens a lot these days!!!

 

[sissy]

The house was a center hall cape colonial with a full dormer on the back and regular cape dormers on the front .I have pics of the whole house somewhere .When I bought the house it was in preforeclosure and the side lawn was nothing but weeds 5 ft high and pickers .I built the shed and front porch and back deck .

 

[gardengirl]

Sounds like you bought a really nice house.

78F at 10:30 am. Humidity 76%. A little breeze to keep it from being too sticky. Hopefully will dry up to mow yard.

Ha ha ha! You guys r funny, send Sissy à tree seed! Typing from cell phone right now. That garden show was nice, but my mom is getting old and she is afraid of stairs these days and won't hold my hand..

last night we had massive thunder that shook the house and rattled the windows. Ground is soaked with rain good.

we need rain bad here...just everytime we might possibly get a shower the clouds seem to break up around this town and go elsewhere...actually cool here right now with 70 but that'll change again this afternoon as our humidity and dew points are way up there and it's been in the mid to upper 90's basically

 

[rebelangel_3733]

makes it hard to want to go out and work on the new pond

 

[j.w]

Warm here at almost 80F and guy working on our house is hot! At least right now he's pressure washing so water is flying all around him helping him cool off.
