I took off today and am up with the birds so I can get the fullest out of this weekend! I plan to start the day by having us go to Gasko's garden center, a very big one in this area, to buy the rest of our spring plantings.
Then perhaps a little shopping and maybe winery later... some painting of the greenhouse tomorrow if the rain holds up, we shall see.
I still need to get more pictures of the new roof. When Ed started to demo the bench in the greenhouse he found that the metal drums are buried in the ground there. I am starting to wonder, did the p.o.'s use the drums as a kind of solar watering/heating system? In any case, my next door neighbor is going to help him pull them out. Then we need to backfill and to pave the ground.
We were discussing a deck yesterday and thankfully I think we may be able to do it sometime this year. After the greenhouse. Then we will be better set for outside entertaining, although we had a nice outdoor party with my dad here last weekend.
Just a few pictures. I promise to add more to this post later today.
A little vignette of my reclaimed goodies from the yard-- a stepladder I am using as a plant ladder, and an old birdhouse -- ladder is filled with some pots of petunias and other flowers.
A scene through my front door window shot through the wreath. I guess they are still not building the professional complex yet as the farmer across the street was turning over the soil today when I got home from work. The tree in our front yard is probably close to a hundred years old. It has a horse hitch twisted into it from decades ago.

It is Five a.m.... time to start the day almost!
