NOT MUCH GOING ON WITH US RIGHT NOW.



This is kind of boring to report, but there is not much happening around here right now.  The weather has been gorgeous and we have been having a wonderful leisurely time this past week.  It's drizzling a little this afternoon so I thought I would take this time on board to catch up on my blog.  As I have been rather lax about it of late.    


I have been working a little on the “Shrubberies” that Dean planted along side of our dock approaches a couple of years ago.  I managed to find the two roots of the ones the mowers have run over a few times.  I've pampered them a little, put a little fence around them and they seem to be coming back to life.  Now if the mowers will just stay away from them, and I give them a little more “Miracle Gro” maybe they will have a chance to recover.  I used to be a fanatical gardener when we had our house on Henderson Hywy.  (That's a thought for a future blog.) but I am not willing to put to much effort into gardens that aren't really mine.  Just enough to make it pleasant. 


I’m also trying to keep the geese off of the grass.  They are now past cute and are now at the stage where they are nothing but, eating pooping machines and it’s beginning to be difficult to get from the boat to the picnic tables without a messy incident.  Which of course can be tracked into the boat.  And as for bare feet!  That is totally out of the question. 


 I put up the yellow rope line that worked last time, but I used tent pegs this year and think this time it’s a little too low and they are stepping right over it.  So, we are going to try some higher stakes that we can adjust, and see how that works.  

After all, those little buggers are up here before Dan and I can get up and let Sea-enna out to chase them away. 



WELL, WE'LL SEE HOW WELL THIS WORKS
(These are both works in progress)
