Lori & Stacey & "Larry's."
|
Lori, "Bro," and Stacey waiting for our table.
|
And these weren't even the biggest we ate!
|
|
And so I left these... went to the bathroom... came back and Stacey had finished them for me! (There was no way I could eat any more...)
|
|
|
|
They will build a boat dock down there with stairs leading to it.
|
My favorite aunt! We had a blast spending time throughout the week. And can she COOK!!!
|
New bush I planted - Blue Plumbago. Supposed to bloom all summer.
|
My bur oak continues to grow... slowly.
|
Patio... my favorite spot in the house.
|
|
|
Lori didn't like the first one, so she wanted me to take another one. Wait... was I supposed to delete that???
|
What you are looking at is a table with 13 lbs. of boiled crawfish! Lori got 3, and Stacey and I ordered 5 lbs.
|
|
|
I just don't know what to say about this... :-)
|
Cousin Christie's daughter, Chloe. She's 3.
|
So this is my uncle Jerry's front yard. Can you see where I get some of my yard influence???
|
One of their neighbors.
|
This is my aunt Loretta, my dad's sister.
|
This is something called a cherry gaura or something like that. Anyway, gonna try it this year in the front.
|
The garden: 6 tomato plants, 7 pepper plants, and 2 egg plants.
|
|
These are trees called Cassius Splendora. Again, probably spelling it wrong. The leaves close up at night, and it's a very fast-growing tree. Will be about 12 feet in the fall and the leaves turn BRIGHT yellow.
|
My Chinese Pistache tree has really grown.
|
|
|
I look forward to this experience all year long...
|
Stacey is the master!
|
All done!
|
Uncle Jerry and my cousin Christie's son, Jayden. He's 2.
|
|
Lori & Stacey bought this land and plan to build a house on it next year.
|
Another neighbor. The house is still under construction.
|
It was a tad windy...
|
So when I came back, I had weeds higher than my knees! Worst yard on the block! I worked all weekend and here are the results.
|
Dang it... forgot what this is, but my uncle has it in his yard and it attracts hummingbirds. I put it in a pot so I can save it in the winter.
|
|
|
And the wart in my yard, the willow, is now mostly dead. It's coming down this year.
