This moring.

I got up this morning and did my yoga as usual.
After wards I usually get in front of the computer to see if I have any work. But today I had a feeling I needed to get the house winterized (Just checked online, they are expecting it to be close to or at freezing later this week).

Some of you may or may not heard, but my father passed away a few weeks ago. He and I weren't very close but the closet we got was in the past few years. We would discuss gardening and sci-fi. I have some of those days where I feel like I'm on the verge of bawling my eyes out. Today I felt like I just wanted to be close to him. I sat in the silence of the yard and felt the breeze circle around me as if he was putting his hand on my shoulder. I decided to take a few pics so you can see what I saw this morning. So please enjoy.

My backyard. I plan on adding gravel and cement for pathways and sitting areas.

Awesome pics John! That last Rose pic is really great, and the last of the mushroom pics looks like a rose. Too cool!!

Love that archway, is that where you meditate? Looks like a good spot!

JuJu's kitchen window looks like mine, I have a stained glass owl and glass bottles too!!! Maybe we were seperated at birth lol

Take it easy John and breath easy :hb:

[Adam Blanchard]

[TreeLove]

first, well thanks for sharing those pics! I love what you put into your space, and what your obviously recieving from it!

about your pineapple though, I noticed the water system you hooked it up with and I was wondering what kind of tip you've got on'tha water bottle?

thanks again for sharing!:)

[Unkle_John]

Sure that's not a problem. I got them Harbor Freight. If you never heard of Harbor Freight, it's basically a discount tool/home store. They are great for when you need tools and not a lot of cash. The water cones they offer isn't as great as I thought, but they do the job. Here's a link to the cones (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?function=Search). You might want to check their locations (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/retail_stores.taf), they might have a store in your area. Oh and they are big cones but you can smaller watering bottles (Disani, Coke, DP, etc.)

thanks again UJ!

Not a problem. :hippie:
