More Yard Work

Roger and I pulled up the old spent green bean and tomato plants today. I cut back a lot of the spindly petunias in the hanging baskets and I hope that the weather will hold on and not freeze until they come back a bit. I took a video of all of the hyacinth bean vines, banana tree,green and red grasses. I hate to see everything freeze. I always get a very nostaglic feeling in Fall. I love the crisp cool weather and the beauty of the leaves as they change but I am most melancholy. I think it is just a time of reflection and change. Spent the rest of the day when not working,reading in my swing. I am reading "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. So far very good. I will try my hand at this video and see if it will load. It is a few seconds longer than the last one. Looks like we are half way there!

Susan's Birthday



Vincent cooked for us on Susan's birthday last Tuesday. It was really good. He had penne pasta and meatballs with marinara and grilled chicken Alfredo. I brought salad and bread and her mom made this yummy cake that was chocolate with a coffee liqueur. Susan did not want her picture taken but I have to post one anyway. Since I love her soooo much I will only show the one of the back of her head and the plates and plate rack we got for her.

Alex and Tracy were at Mamu's house on Saturday and Roger was making him laugh a lot. When he saw the camera he froze and just kept staring. I was so glad I finally got one to load. I think the other ones I was trying to load were so long I thought they were not working or they just timed out. This one was only 40 seconds so it actually worked.

Trav has some new songs added to his myspace


Check out some of Travs new songs. Link is at the top of my page. He has gotten a program on his computer where he can record some things on his own. I think he is having some fun being able to learn how to do this. Maybe we will get to hear some more of the songs he has been working on lately. I miss hearing the songs in each stage as he works on them since he moved out to his apartment. I was bugging him in the picture. He does not like his picture taken much and i am always ready with a camera. http://myspace.com/traviswilburnmusic

Yet more flower pics





The banana tree continues to grow. We did get some rain Friday but everything is so dry becasue we have not had much at all lately. I love the big elephant ears that my assistant gave me. They have really gotten big. The moonflower is taking over and the chipmunks have planted sunflowers all over which I let grow and the birds and chipmunks are loving the seeds right about now.

Gabe in for the weekend









Gabe came in for the weekend to watch the KY football game. It was good to see him. His face is healing well after his wreck but his chest(sternum) is still very tender. He wanted me to make banana pudding. His absolute favorite. Well, his family(brothers) did it to him again. He likes to wait quite a while after he eats before he eats anything sweet. Around here you better claim some for yourself or it isn't going to last very long. When he came to get someit was all gone. I meant to save him some and put it aside and Dad thought he saw him with some. I had to catch him clowning with the bowl. I guess I will have to make some all for him when we go down next. Here are a few pictures I took.
