Last week we planted onion slips, just in time for a good soaking rain. It seems that the weather worked well with our attempts. Now, we can only hope the rest of the planting season, will turn out as well as it has started. I’ve got all of my seeds ready to put in the seed trays and get sprouted for planting time. Hope to get some seed potatoes soon so they can get sprouted in time for next month’s possible planting.

The Bush
The bush on the right of this picture is hanging down on the ground and the grass can’t grow under it. I had a man come and do some trimming to take those lower branches off and make it look much nicer.
This is the way the bush looks after a good trimming. I think it looks much better than it did and now the grass will be able to grow, because the bottom limbs aren’t hanging down on the ground.

Gas Grill
I received the older gas grill that my sister & brother in law had extra. She bought him a new larger grill for their anniversary. I’m glad they had it, because that was something I could save money and not need to buy.
Fire Pit
I now have a fire pit, which is a gift from my sister. I placed it in the back yard with some chairs around it. I hope to go buy some sacks of white rock and spread them out on the ground underneath the pit. This will protect the grass from catching fire during the time we have it burning.

Back Yard
There’s a large back yard that compliments this property to the point of a bit under 1/4 acre of land. There’s a riding lawn mower to help handle the expanse of the the yard keeping.
Front Yard
This is the front entrance and yard of the old house, I’m about to move into. The tree on the right was butchered by the electric company but managed to live into it’s 200 years. I remember climbing it back when I was a young girl.
Home
Recently we had to put Mom and my step-dad in a nursing home for their own best interests. They have gotten to the point they no longer can care for themselves in the way that’s healthy. Since that time, I’ve considered moving into the old family home. It’s located about 35 miles east of Dallas, and nice small town effect. This is the house, where I will be living. It dates back to the early 1900′s and has been remodeled to make it more livable.
