I'm still around

15 years ago

I know I haven't been keeping you informed of my "fishing pole rack, but it's been crazy here at home....Babysitting grandkids for days...helping son with moving to their new home...also emptying tons of stuff out of the garage and sheds...which I found some goodies to take home since he was throwing it all out..grrrr..But I finally got the rack done, and started working on my Lattice Trellis, which I also just got done...planted my mandevilles, and now I have to finish the area up. Also bought more plants, for the wagon and tricycle son was throwing out..I swear I feel like I lost a good 5 lbs. these past couple of weeks...well even if it's only water......LOL...Here's what the trellis and rack look like.....Oh and I have the birdhouse plaques done, just need to hang them up.

Thanks for the pics
Your trellis, birdhouse plaques and fish pole rack are great. I love the painted tools they're nice and bright.

Very cool idea for using a fishing rod rack! Your tools look too pretty to use. lol It turned out very pretty. Love the colorful plants you put on the shelf.

Now you've got me thinking that I need to find a fishing rack and some old garden tools. A woman I found on the web mosaics old garden tools. A fishing rack like yours would be a wonderful way of displaying tools like hers. Below is a link to her site.

Welcome back. Why state what has already been stated about work coming first in life. Oops, I just did... Without work, comes no hobby money. As others stated, thank you for your generosity this past year in helping me with seeds as a first year grower. All seeds I used from you germinated, and I had fun in my first year and am looking forward to many more. As well, I even gave a lot of plants away to friends, family, and even a couple others I did not know as I had an abundance. Thank you again and welcome back.

I went and I got back last night. Well, I can only call this a miracle, the spot has shrunk to less than half the size it was in March. Just like a surgeon though, he refused to say it WASN'T cancer, he just said that it doesn't look like it's malignant and he's sending me back to the oncologist to continue the regular followups on the kidney thing. So I must say thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. I am sure I don't deserve this much grace from God, but for some reason He has blessed me yet again. Yall send me an e-mail to my home address, cause I'm gonna have a little get-together here at the house to celebrate. We'll have a little garden tour, some munchies and talk about plants, and talk about gardens, and talk about everything except cancer. Cheryl Cancer free and happy as a sparrow with a french fry!

This one: What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle I'll never know, and I'm glad I won't As for the rest, Art Buchwald and Tom Petty quotes are all just so spot on.

I must admit that I am somewhat biased in favor of Max Born's quotes. They just make sense to me.

Wow Luna, thank you for the link....That's very interesting! I'm not sure what she used to set all the pieces in place, but that's definitely something I will look into. I have some old tools from my Uncle when we lived out in Long Island..The ice breaker is among one of them as well as our ole 'snow shovel'.

The fishing pole rack still has possiblilties to hang little things on, as someone mentioned putting hooks on the lattice.

I've also been busy with our grandson making his stepping stone, putting a T Rex together, staining and sealing those as well...lol. I'll leave the link to it.

With finishing the arbor (should have said that in my first post,...I'm looking into ideas on how to decorate around it. Also thinking of moving my birdbath in the center of it with a fountain. Between the heat, humidity, and rains, it's taking longer than I like, but hey ..that's florida for ya.
