Do I ever do medicine? I am sure that is what Marshal Harpe is wondering...

The answer is yes, but sometimes the yard work is done in the dark...

A couple of more spare hours and the place will have the finishing touches done, but for now it looks nearly completed

Our projects continue...

Last weekend trimmed tree branches to allow more sunlight...

On the newly planted vegetable/herb garden

A couple of weekends back we were able to complete the concrete removal



Today was the big work day, as we both had the day off after 12 days of work...

Our busy weekend...

Began with making garden beds for our future veggie and herb garden

Followed by Janelle putting together the blue wheelbarrow, and the two of us breaking up the concrete patio in the front yard to clear the way for new flower beds and landscaping.

Then on Sunday after church we went to Ann Arbor with some dear friends of ours (Rick and Vicki) and got Janelle new jewelery!!!!!

I'll have to get a picture that is not blurry in the near future

We finished off the weekend at the Firefly Jazz Club listening to 20's and 30's Big Band music
