My sister Amy issued a challenge to us to take picture of things in our yard that bring just a bit of pleasure. Well here are a few of mine. Of course there are a lot more, but these would definately come in at the top of the list. Enjoy.
This is our new mailbox. When we first moved in, the old old one was broken and looking pretty sad, so I purchased a wooden barrel and we planted some flowers in it. Kee picked out all the plants and I really like all the different colors.
This is my old beat up BBQ. It is quite old and has been through a couple of rebuilds, but it works extremely well. It was my dad's before it was mine, so I am not exactly sure how old it is, but it sure has been instrumental in making a lot of fun summer meals for us.
With the current price of gas, I have taken to riding my motorcycle to work . It is a 1971 Honda. Almost an antique. but still runs pretty good, at least it did untill last Friday when it decided to stop. I think it needs a tune up, so I will have give it a little TLC this week.
I know your all looking at this picture and wondering what in the world is it? Well, its a valve covering for the sprinkler system in my yard. I absolutely love the sprnkler system, with out it I am sure that my lawn would be just aweful looking and be a terrible shore to take care of.
One of my favorite places to spend time now is in my garden. This is a picture of my pumkin plant. As you can see, it has really taken off and now occupies a large portion of the garden. We have give it the name of Audrey, after the plant from the play/movie Little Shop of Horrors.
Here are the first two items to get harvested from our garden. A green pepper and a red onion. Don't they look delicious
This green pepper is just calling out to me to make my favorite Fajitas for dinner!!
This little red onion may have been picked a little bit premature, but it was crowding with another onion plant and I needed to "thin" them a bit. I think it will go well on a fresh BBQ burger!!
My mouth starts to water everytime I look at the rasberry bushes
And this is why, look at all those lucious fresh berrys!! Just imagine a fresh warm rasberry crisp topped with a scoop of cold ice cream. Well you are going to have to imagine it, because I ate the last of it for breakfast this morning!!

I am drooling at your rasperries!!! I keep telling Matt to get a scooter to ride to work, for some reason he doesn't
Thanks for doing the tag! Your motorcycle rocks. We have been riding Wes' a lot lately too! I am also very envious of your sprinkler system and garden. Someday we'll get there. Agghhhh!
Oh I want those berries!!! Next thing you know, you'll be making jam like your father. Send some to me when Kee comes. I love the word verification this time. qbbppp
