There's always so much to do around the homestead. I came home from Ma's after helping her with the yard work the other day and Hubby and his brother were sitting at the kitchen table...making plans. They were making plans for a greenhouse/shed. Which ain't a bad idea at all, except I see all these beautiful greenhouses on Pinterest, the ones made out of windows and doors that are just TOO CUTE!! (But something tells me they ain't gonna build it like that.) There was also a plan to build Hubby a workbench/table for his shed. Then there was plans to build a new gate that leads to the backyard...to keep THIS imp inside the fence. Sure, she may look all sweet and innocent but when she jumps the gate and takes off, she gets that wild~eyed~catch~me~if ~you~can look and if you listen close, you can hear her singing ♪♫♪ Freedom ♪♫♪... as she's running away. Then I heard plans of a long running flower~box that was to run the length of the fence in our backyard. So imagine my surprise when I woke up the next morning and they were building this... Which wasn't even ON the list~of~things~to~do. But I love it and I've been secretly wanting one. I think it's beautiful! ღ The fence runs the length of our road. Can't wait to stain it and plant more roses down the fence. We planted about 8-10 already. So just a few more to go. I'm dreaming of a fence covered in roses in a few years, ya know. We'll see how well that works out.I I kept asking Hubby and his brother what I could do to help...their answer?? "Stay out of the way!" I can do that! The next morning, they got started on the gate bright and early. It turned out so pretty. I'm totally in love with it. Still needs to be stained but other that I think it looks great. Here's another pic of the gate after they got it put up...I thought the horseshoe door ~knocker added a nice little touch! They also got Hubby's workbench built...no pic here cuz they already had it piled up with a bunch of tools and junk by the time I got out there with my cam. :) So far, no greenhouse/shed but at the rate they're going... And me? What did I do while I was trying my best to "stay out of the way"? Well, I cooked, I cleaned and did laundry and I ...nahhh just kidding!! I took lots of pics :) and got a few little things painted, I've been wanting to get done, like this old grease~catcher kettle...Painted in a very pale pink. About an hour after I took this pic, Boo ate the yellow daisies...dern dog. Thanks for stopping by! Please Check out my new Facebook page, also called Hillbilly Ramblin' and give me a like. :) Be good and be pretty and as always... ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
