Out with the old and in with the new.


The past couple of weeks have involved a little bit of change for us. This summer we purchased a gorgeous baby blue 1965 Chevy pickup truck to replace our deteriorating 1973 Dodge Dart. We decided to give the Dart to Chris's brother because we knew he would really enjoy it. So a couple of weekends ago we drove it down to Maize, Kansas where his family lives. It was sad to see it go. I really loved that car and had lots of wonderful memories taking road trips in it and cruising around town.







Those are tuberose bulbs that I pulled up for next year's planting.


The other big change I have mentioned before--this weekend Chris completed my new garden fence! It looks so great. My husband is so handy and determined. It's an inspiration to watch him work on a project.


The handyman at work. The upper garden will get a new fence in the spring. This lower garden will be getting raised beds in the next few weeks.


The juniper bushes in the front yard received a lot of trimming and everything in the garden was pulled up.


Today I spontaneously decided to climb this tree! I felt like I was in 4th grade all over again. This tree is in our front yard and is an incredible presence.



More evidence of the juniper bush trimming. We're going to have to have people over for a bonfire before it gets too cold!


And finally, the view from the living room. I often look out and see Chris hard at work in the yard. He makes me so proud!
