"So how is retirement?" we are often asked ---- "couldn't be better will be our reply" ---- time for each other and time for family ---- and that leaves no time for self pity. Loving every minute and grateful for each new day. When given the chance we load up and are on our way. Being with family is the best that life can offer. And their sweet love and kindness in return makes each day just a bit better

Down to Six
About twenty years ago Brad and I planted 200 bare root hedge plants around the back of our yard. For many years I was able to keep it trimmed and then in the last few years Brad has had to take over the job with just minimal help from me. Well enough is enough. We are just unable to maintain a good quality hedge anymore. We are not feeble but we are older and trimming and cleaning up four times a year is just not something we can do. So last Thursday Brad took Awesome and pushed out a section. That now just leaves us six hedges behind the hanging swing. For now it will stay ---- we will see how it goes. The field and mountains are now even more visible and I know that Brad really enjoys this. We will prepare a nice garden spot in the area that was behind the hedge ---- will be much easier that where we garden now. Grateful for our home and surroundings. We so enjoy sitting on the patio and feeling the peace and beauty of our home. No not a mansion but so wonderful.
