Just one more picture of my hubby chopping wood. Don't you love his choice of footwear?

You can just start to see how the yellow flowers are turning brown, when they are brown is when the goldfinches love them most. I have seen many birds in the yard checking out their crops.

Each and every time I look at my gardens I see new flowers.

We tried to get this plant to climb on our mailbox but year after year it just refused to look good. Finally two years ago The Hubby moved it into our climbing roses. This is the first year that it has produced more than a few flowers. Now my neighbor succeeded in making it climb on her mailbox after only a year.

This little guy has been living in that cement drain (that is in the middle of our yard - I have no idea why) for years. I don't know the live span of a chipmunk so I have to wonder if this is a couple generations down the line. All I know is that every year for the past eleven years a chipmunk has lived in the drain. My bedroom window is very close and each morning he comes out and makes his chipmunk noises. I am waiting for him to start singing "The Chipmunk Song".

Guess who ended up doing most of the chopping? It was not because CAL didn't, CAL actually had a grand time. That was the problem. The Hubby decided that it looked like fun and had to get in on the act. Now it is all chopped and I have been begging him to go get the remaining five pieces but he claims that are too big to lift into the trailer. I told him to chop them on site. NOPE, he doesn't want anyone to see how weak he is.

A couple weeks ago a house several blocks away cut down some big trees. They chunked the wood and left it by the road with a free sign. I have been bugging The Hubby to go get some of the wood for our outdoor fire pit. Finally he went and got five pieces. I decided that it would be an excellent chore for CAL, to chop the wood.
