Look, No Grass

Dear Maria, I've been having a little trouble with the blog lately, so here goes. This is the thrid time I've tried to get this blog on. Remember the yucky looking grassy area that I have been working at, well now it looks like this! Hooray!

The Rose Arbor

Dear Maria, Remember the picture of Grandma and the grass, well, this is what it looks like now. We had almost lost all grass until the big rains started and then in no time there was grass everywhere. Imagine that! Love you, Grandma

Grandma's Rose Garden

The rose garden looks so much better now.

After the Rain the Grass Grows

Dear Maria, Grandma decided she had better get out in the garden and take care of a few things. It looks a whole lot better now. Take a look.

Dear Maria, We have a baby on our farm, too. He is a little calf named Prince Philip. We looked out the window and saw him lying in our mountain of mulch we will put in our garden. The electric company has been here cutting away trees that have grown too close to the lines. When they do that they grind it all into mulch. So they dumped it into the garden. It is kind of a big pile. Prince Philip likes to get on top of the pile and take a rest. Isn't he cute?

Labor Day Celebration 2010

Love ya, Grandma

Petpaloosa

Hi Maria,

Cassie and Grandma volunteer with a group called CERT. Yesterday we went to a pet fair called Petpaloosa. We were passing out emergency information to everyone. We got some great pictures of dogs and met a really nice little girl wearing glitter pink cowgirl boots. I sure wish I could find a pair for you. You would love them. The fluffy poodle got its new look from a groomer. I think it looks like a bee. The huge dog wearing all the patches is a greeter for troops coming home from foreign service. He wears patches for every soldier he met at DFW airport. Quite impressive!!!
