It's almost June, Can You Believe It?

What a way to welcome June! Our neighbor, Marcia has a beautiful Magnolia tree in her yard so after the rain yesterday, I went over and took a pic of a couple of them. They smell like citrus and are huge. We are lucky to be able to view the tree from across the street. One of the downfalls is that they are very messy, dropping leaves often and the leaves are huge!

Well, again, I say the porch is done but we still have to do the cushions and decide if we want to repaint the floor or tile---my vote is for paint and Lynn's is for tile. We have a little celebration on Memorial Day, homemade ice cream and cake. Neighbors, friends and us. How wonderful it is to sit ourside under the fan and not be bothered by pesky flys and nats. I really am an attraction for the mosquito and I managed to come inside without one bite!!!! Lynn added a little rock area for our pots to sit on and we hope to add a small fence for Buddy but we are taking the month of June off as we will be traveling to San Antonio to see Clint, Melody and Tess and going on to Corpus for three days of school for Lynn and relaxing for me.

Now we have added another room to clean and keep up but we are going to love it. After 43 years of marriage, I finally have my "screen porch".

Screen porch is started

We are thrilled that we have come to the point where we can add our screen porch. Yes, Monday the 14th of May, we started it. Will take a few days but with our good friend, Mike Perkins and Lynn I can see it is going to be what I wanted and drew out for them. It is so good to see that what was in my mind is working.
Here is the first of the progress. More to come.
