House next door










They were taking the house next door to me down and throwing away all the old rocks. Needless to say I lugged them home. wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow. I now have more then I need, but I am sure I will find a place for all of them.

Lots of work! Looks like a lot of progress too! Good thing your beau can do it himself! I suppose he finds that a blessing and a curse right?
Thanks for the follow!

Hi LillySue,
I am just ready my comments, I didn't know how to find them at first.
I still have a pile of rocks to drag home from next door. I got upset when I saw them dumping them in a roll off. I grab some for a neighbor of mine, who liked what I was doing in my yard. I helped her do the same in her yard. Lets just say my arms were sore after that, but I was so happy with the out come I forgot all about it.
I love nature, God makes the most beautiful things, and I drag them home, lol. Sea Shells are another thing I have a lot of.

Hi Queenie,
I have waited a long time to have a home I could work on. I never thought the day would come. I was blessed when I meet Jim He came into my life and everything changed. I thought all men were no good,& the good ones where married, I would never meet one, let alone have one, lol . I now feel God made me wait till I was ready. I don't think I would of knew how to treat a good guy, so I had to go through hard times to learn. I pray I treat him as good as he treats me.
I have more rocks coming, lol. I hate to see them thrown away.
I gave Diogie a bug hug for you and he licked my face. So here is his lick :)---

Hi Girl, Inspired,
I go to your blog to remind myself to look like a lady, lol. I have to remind myself, after dragging rocks home, I still need to fix myself. So thank you so much for that extra push I get from your blog.
As for Jim. He finds it a blessing when working home. But the neighbors, about 5 (who are women living alone) have found out what he can do, so every time they have a problem, they come to him. Thank God I trust him, or I would drive my self crazy, Jim says I don't have far to go. I love my neighbors, We are all a close bunch and we take care of each other.
Keep up the good work on your blog, I need it, lol.
