Waste not one second of your day pondering if help is needed ....
The most full fulling part of any day, are during the times when I'm helping another person. A small deed or a grand project, the feeling and emotions are always the same. One of the best movies I have ever seen is "Pay it Forward".
"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world."
First cut of the day ..
On to the trees at the front entrance ..
Before ~ My grandson Garrett was about 8 in this picture.. He is 11 now.
The only surviving shrub in the front flower beds ...
The front flower beds today ....
An improvement ..Wouldn't you agree?
What a sense of accomplishment my sweety and I felt when we stood back and looked at my mothers property. The shrubs were missing, but it felt as it did years ago. Clean lines and refreshed. Now there is still items on the list to do.. The vine along the property line still needs to be pulled up {I think pulling it up is best, but my brother Mark purchased Round Up stating he feels the spray will more then do the trick, we'll see who's right}, the grassy area along the entrance way needs to be dug up {again my brother sprayed this area with Round Up}, the light bulbs along the front fence line needs to be replaced, and new plants or shrubs need to go in the flower beds. I am working on getting this organized, trust me.. it will all get done.
While checking out my mothers property, I took a few personal {treasured memories} photos ...
My brothers and sisters {and myself} built the barn on the left.
The original name of the company my brother works for ..
Tractor my step father purchased for the grand children ...
Back then the eldest grand child {Patricia}was a baby ~ 29 years ago
Goodness, how the children loved riding around on this tractor. Like little farmers. Oh, the memories.
I have the need to make this old spot light, into a hanging light for the property .. Hmmmm
*** If anyone can give me some information on the tractor pictures, it would be a wonderful big help. I am not sure what year it is, or the worth of such a tractor. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. ***
