Little gifts 2

...are most appreciated. We gave the workers each a little makeup bag and gift card to TGI Fridays. One of the four said, "No, I can't take tips." But I know how these things work. The gifts were for "their wives." Then, of course he accepted gratiously ;-) Plus, the crew chief had already accepted his, so I wasn't taking no for an answer - LOL. They were all very nice and kept everything very neat. I felt they deserved a gift for all their hard work.

Little gifts

A couple other bags that didn't make it past the door. Sold them to some friends. DD is asking for a strawberry bag for her, but she wants to keep the "fringe." You know, the hangy strings from the cut edge.

New Patio is IN

the loudest helper...
just a little nap...

Our new rose tree - supposed to be hardy to -5 degrees. We'll see...

Corner to the right as you look out the patio door. My baby peach tree. I love these blue pots!

Strike a pose! He insisted on keeping this silly picture. Grass has not yet sprouted and it's gonna be hot this week. We need lots of water.

Looking straight out the patio door.

A little pumpkin. This one has to be 10 lbs already!

An owl from a craft/art show. I wish we had the artist's name. Everyone sees this and wants one.

The other half working hard. Or is that hardly workin'? Patio looks small from this angle, but it's almost 300 sq ft and the glass room is 250-ish - Almost the whole back of the house!
