Beautiful Spring morning here in Illinois.

 Her Highnes  the Queen - Pandora

 Kimmy = she's just about turned into a house dog. Feel sorry for her, I know she misses being able to run and play in the country.

 And Macy - she is a very vocal cat. Loves to talk to you.

 Part of my jungle that will have to come inside soon.

 My bike I got for my birthday. Absolutely LOVE it - no gears, coaster brakes, vintage look - rides great and has a seat that doesn't hurt.

 More of my jungle - the Wandering Jews are going crazy.

 Spiders are looking awesome too.

 Another spider and another Jew.

 This is what's left of the garden - still getting brussel sprouts, broccoli, and tomatoes.

 Some of the grass I transplanted from the daughter's house.

 This is what I did all morning. Tomato juice and candied jalapenos - and 2 jars of the leftover syrup from the jalapenos, I hear it's really good brushed on meat on the grill.

 Juice came out good - mot much separation.

 And these look pretty good too.

 Another scarf

 This is my current baby project. It turned out a little bigger than I expected so I'm making pants to match and hoping the grandbaby can use it as a light "snowsuit"

 And this is a picture of my swollen ankle. Actually starting to worry just a little bit since it seems to be doing this every day. Old injury, bad leg and to be totally honest, it's probably supporting more weight than it should have to.

 It was pouring rain and I tried to get a picture of it but it didn't turn out very well.

Bricks/Chain link fence

Sold! Both of them. I can't believe it!

One person's junk - another person's treasure

Yesterday, I found someone who actually wanted all the sandstones from the back yard. She and her husband came over last night and got most of them. There are still some really big ones left that I need to somehow get rid of but not nearly as many.

Then another woman came and dismantled the jungle gym and took it away - and even gave me money for it! Hopefully, they will be able to salvage it and their kids will get some good out of it - much better than just sitting in my yard. Wouldn't have trusted kids on it anyway as whoever built it used nails instead of screws!

But the BEST news is that a guy is coming Saturday to get the tractor tires. He wants them for weight training - he "flips" them. I have no idea what that means and neither do I care. THE TRACTOR TIRES WILL BE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still no takers on all the bricks but who knows
I think I'll advertise the roll of chain link fence next!

Weeding at Heather's house

Went to the Quad Cities Campus Friday- these are from the tour of the new Riverfront building.

Went straight from work to help Heather weed.

This is what we started with

And this is how we ended

Spring

Brick border - needs work

Kimmy wanted her picture taken!

The garden - all planted

brick patio

Working on cleaning up the yard. Here is the brick patio that I uncovered. It was totally filled in with dirt and grass. The brick border in back was a total mess. I put it all back together but it still needs a lot of work.
