Shena's Visit

It has been wonderful having Shena and Reina for a visit. It is going to be very sad having them leave tomorrow. Too bad they like the weather in Costa Rica so much, it is so far away. Everyone write Shena and tell her to come back really, really soon. (signed Mar and Shena as Mom is sleeping) RRRRR

Hey Y'all, Mar Here!

I was weeding out the front flower beds. Here are some pictures.













This is a sample of the "before" choked with grass and weeds.














A wheelbarrow of weeds pulled from the second flower bed tier.














The "after" picture. I have added some of Dad's geraniums and we will also add pansies up front, some mari golds, and some red sunflowers in the back of the first tier. I have planted wild flowers among the irises in the back tier. Mom wanted the wildflowers.

A day out

Went to the sleep disorder center for Grandma today. We were exchanging the mask for the forced air machine as the one we had was a bit too large. Met Mar at the pic n choose for lunch and then went shopping afterwards. Came home and went moss and lichen hunting for classes on Tuesday. It has been lovely sunshine today,
