So what does our Sheriff do when he isn’t occupied fighting crime?  He works like a pack mule, that’s what he does!  He is determined to have his yard in tip top condition for the Hoedown festivities this coming Friday night.  First of all, he enjoys manual labor.  Like his parents and siblings, working outside is one of his favorite things to do.  I try to find other things to do on sunny days when he heads outside.  I have no desire to slave away like he does, but I sure do enjoy the final products of his labor.  His newest project includes this entry way into his & Chrisi’s garden … Thad & Randy both pitched in to help get it underway …

the final version of Dad’s entry way …

we now have our own climbing rose bushes (don’t you love how they are mine too) …

in a couple of years, these little buds will be as beautiful as Brad’s roses …

another view of the entry way …

the retaining wall with it’s new plants, flowers & mulch …

I’m not sure what he did to these squash but they are haaauuuggeee …

and they are full of squash(es) …

and the tomato plants are taller than me …

I still don’t have any pictures of the lost hidden blackberry bushes to share …
