I Have To Do Everything!

Well, you all know that Tom had a hernia repair last week. So, guess who get's to do everything? You guessed it....ME. I have to work all day, and then come home and do all of the yardwork. Where are my kids when I need them? He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I will be going with him to see when he can start doing things again. I need the exercise but, believe me, I am not cut out for all of this. I have to admit that I am sleeping better. Must be from all of the activity.

Tom is recovering quite well, don't you think?

While I was outside, after doing all the yard work, I decided to walk around the yard and see how our fruit trees were doing.
Our poor old Peach tree is still producing, although it is going to be replaced by a younger tree that we planted next to it. The peaches are always ripe in July, so we don't have much longer. So many branches have broken off over the years, but we are still counting on the peaches.

Our little Pluot tree is doing quite well, it is only two years old and loaded this year. Shouldn't be to much longer before they are ready to pick. Of course we will have to share with the birds, they tend to attack the fruit. Last year we covered the tree with netting, they pecked right through it. But, there is enough for us and God's little creatures.

This is my favorite spot in our yard. It is just an area we created for relaxing. There is a Bistro Set nestled between a Camphor and Apple tree which is overtaken by Wisteria. Someday, when I retire, and I said when not if, I plan to spend numerous hours out here having my worship, relaxing and maybe even doing some bird watching.
