SpRiNg FeVeR!!!!











Yes I have a bad case of it.....I have been digging, plantin',seedin',potting, pulling and loving every minute of it!
As you may recall we have been in this home for a year now and the yard was pretty much a blank slate. We have put up 68pieces of privacy fence, built a barn and have started improving the one flower bed and making new ones.





I could work in the yard everyday as long as the weather is nice and IF I had an endless supply of money to buy plants!

This is just a peek at what I have done and now I need a truckload of mulch!

Now, I know what you are thinking.........last time we talked we were inside the house......tearing out walls and such...well ...... here is some progress
We can now eat at the table! Check out my chairs I got for 10$ each

I just gave a little paint, sanding and stain!

Here are a few more redos....




We still have to wrap the beam and the 4 x 4 column in the middle of the room ( my son calls it a primitive stripper pole!) but we had to put the inside stuff on hold.....to get some of the outside things done before it gets to hot. Now that we have finished the fence our dogs can run freely, so we wanted to get that done and most important
we are putting up the pool that we packed up and brought from the other house! We have it up and with the new liner it looks great. Now we have to add the deck that we also moved from the other house.....so when those really hot days get here we will have a place to chill!

  15. Where to begin? So many wonderful things you have been doing. Love the wall box on your front door. Did you make that? Your garden ideas are great and very unusual.
    Those chairs are so handsome.
    Plus a pool! You have been busy!

  16. This is how my friend Wesley Virgin's tale begins with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    These are the EXACT same tactics many famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that conversation has even occurred INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while riding an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3.20 in his bank account.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with living check to check! When will I get my big break?"

    You've taken part in those conversations, right?

    Your success story is going to start. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.

    WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
