kids in training

I know Jeff would probably be mad at me for putting his picture in my blog but it is such a nice picture of Jeff and Nikki together. Also, I wanted to show that TJ was being supervised by us adults at the time of this picture. Jeff is teaching TJ and Nikki how to use the lawn mower in hopes of having them replace my lawn guys down the line. TJ and Nikki actually did a good job at running the lawn mower. The blade was not down, the riding was just for training and fun. I think I have my future lawn guy. His dad would be proud.

Long bike ride and no kids, Yeah!!!

These are for Santini. Right on the way and very near Hofma Park. I had no kids and got a long ride. My distance counter stopped at 5.6 miles for some reason. I rode for two hours, so I am guessing I was probably close to 14 maybe 15 miles. My legs are sore, so I did well. What a beautiful day. Don't know when I will get the chance again, so I thouroughly enjoyed it.

This picture of Tulips is for my uncle Jim that likes pictures of Tulips. I thought they were pretty. Just like the day.
This is for my prairie princess cousin Kelsey. What kind of grass is the red stuff?

Fresh lawn, tulips and budding trees, Yeah!!!!



Not only has my lawn been freshly mowed, but the maple is coming along and I can see beautiful tulips. Everything is looking and feeling nice again. Hoping for a continuing trend in my lawn and the warmth of summer coming.

Green, Green and blossoms, Yeah!!!!!

My new tree has proven its strength. I see buds. Time for the deer repellent. The whole lawn is looking very green. Now it is time for my new lawn guy to show up and mow the lawn. Ted would be proud of his beautiful lawn. Ted is smiling.
