As you can see, there has been a lot of progress on the roof. Shingles are going on now as I type.

Even though its full of tools and debris, we have been sitting in it and enjoying the comfort. We even eat ice cream in there and it seems to taste better, I wonder if its the "pyramid" affect. The roof is sort of shaped like a pyramid right?

“Carz”
Drive them here
Drive them there
Drive them everywhere.

Clean them day
Clean them night
Clean them till they’re shiny bright

Take a trip
Fill it up
Pay the bill
Take a pill
The price to high!
I think I’ll fly!!!

I used the word "carz" to make the body, can you tell?

I am so excited!! About 20 years ago I had told SC "someday, I would like to have a gazebo". Well that time has come. It is fashioned from a picture I saw, a sort of Williamsburgy type. That's SC on the roof working on the cupola. That was his addition so we could our eagle on top.

I am very proud of SC, he's making this without plans. I'll post the progress as it happens.

Have a happy day!

SC – looks like the deer are nibbling on our fruit trees again.
Babe – how can you tell?
SC – by the hoof prints in the dirt
Babe – oh, oh I’ll get on the web and search for ways to stop them
Hum, mothballs or human hair, we’ll use the mothballs
Babe – I found a site that said at the first sign of deer damage
use mothballs, since I’m going to town I’ll get some.
What are you going to do while I’m gone?
SC – I have to do some mowing
Babe – okay, see ya

Next day

Babe – can you tell if the mothballs are working yet?
SC – not sure, I think it’s too soon to tell, why?
Babe - Well, I was wondering if we should use them around my
flowers. That site explained that deer are very fond of
daylilies and they are right, the tops of my Stella d'oro lilies
are gone! See – They bit the tops off clean! Thank goodness
they don't like my Iris.
SC - oops

Last year I had our garden club’s May meeting here. During that meeting we were all surprised to see several Orioles trying to feed from Hummingbird feeders. It was quite comical considering their size and the size of the feeder. When asked this year if I thought we would see them again, I replied I hoped so but need to get them their own feeder. Oriole feeders are sort of hard to find here, they are sold as soon as they come into the stores. One member told us to cut oranges in half then either hang them in the trees or place them on a table so we could watch them. I cut two oranges and placed them on a small table. Sure enough, they came and ate the oranges dry. I still want to get a feeder for them but this will do in the meantime.
