House and Gardens update

Until last week when I went out the side door... this one....to the driveway..

this was what I saw:

the back of David's garage...

now...after several days of hard work by Barb and myself...we have this "work in progress"



the birds like being outside when it's warm enough...



peaceful, scenic drives around our part of Al. and nearby Tn.

Countryside by Chris Row

Shafts of light
Through cathedral windows,
Dappled shade
Upon the leaves
Beneath my feet,

Bird song
In the branches above.
In the distance
Hind and fawn
Cross the forest track.


The sweet fragrance of autumn
Fills the misty air,
A gentle breeze
Moving colours
To forest floor.

So precious
Such beauty,
So hard to find
Such peaceful sanctuary.
