The credit union called today. The financing was approved, so we close on Thursday. Called the roofer and the deck contractors and arrange meetings on Wednesday and Fridat. Still waiting for the plumber to call back.
Found a bee keeper to come out to trap the hive that set up housekeeping in our wall. Clark is a hobbyist now taking over his father’s trade after retiring early from an auto plant. We met at our family doctor’s office and got to talking and he mentioned he was a beekeeper, so we got together today. He started the set-up you see here. The process will take about a month

First use of a gift from friends Dar & Mike & kids. Smoked chicken parts and sliced porato. It turned out pretty good for a first try,As a matter of fact it looked so good, I had it on my plate & in my mouth before Momms could get a picture!
I had start using it because they also sent enough wood chips to smoke two cows, fourteen chickens and six turkeys!
Now I have o find a dessert recipe that I can smoke for their next visit.

Like our Brandy, the author of this blog has dug in his heels and refused to move. Despite encouragement it seems that if it isn’t his idea than it don’t get done. So my friends I am ghost writing this entry.
The four inch black pipe to divert rain water away from the house had laid like this waiting for willing hands and idle shovels to bury it. As a birthday gift and to keep the blood from pooling in his eyes Jay received those helping hands from eldest son, Wes and daughter-in-law Deb. The path of the pipe was marked out and the two of them started digging. Roughly 30 feet later this is what they had.
The great team of husband and wife took a few minutes to rest after covering the pipe up to the last few feet to allow the addition of an elbow with a grate in it to be purchased to finish it off.
Yesterday Jay cut, adjusted, and added the elbow to the end and we did a partial cover up. He said we would have to wet the area down, add some more dirt, and raked it out smooth. Then the job will be done.
He also has managed to try out the new lawn sweeper, which does a great job of cleaning up the cuttings. Yesterday he cut grass again so the sweeper will be working again today .
Last but not least a quick look at the barrel garden. Looking pretty good but we could use a little more rain to help them along.
