This is the close of a long four day weekend.  I took off Friday because on Thursday night my daughter, Kimberly, graduated college!   We had a pretty leisurely weekend, very bittersweet, joy at this graduation and sadness as I found a good friend at work's son has passed away at 24.   So this put quite a damper on my weekend and I was not able to concentrate as usual.

Here is the weekend in brief:

On Friday we went to Griffin Greenhouse Supply in Ewing NJ and we ordered most of the glass for the greenhouse.     We also ordered the composter from Gardener's Supply and it will be here later this week.

Ed and Josh picked up some patio blocks this morning, and proceeded to start the process of the greenhouse floor.

I proceeded on Friday to start to paint the back logs on the greenhouse. Do not like the color, but it is a first coat!

I am pleased with how the door came out though.



Some pictures:


Ed Alana and I and the dogs hiked Clayton Park nearby Saturday morning. Alana got BAD poison ivy.






Our garden pond is looking really nice...




A pot of impatiens on our well.



This is part of the carriage door hardware. I am sorry for the dark picture. I think I date it to about 1860 or 1870 or so.  It is part of the hangers that attach to the door rail.Butterfly shaped  I will see after this if I can find out anything about the company ?






One of our new baby chickens, a golden comet hen.  She is about three weeks old



Our front fence was decked with memorial day flags. God Bless America!
