" I Can See Clearly Now "

I had a vision in my head of a tropical feeling courtyard area out back. Today the vision came to life in part as my wonderful husband began the work of turning my vision into a dream come true!



Yesterday we had a sweet smelling rain shower and a rainbow.............

I love rainbows.....

And then some gorgeous clouds for me to gaze at...

I just can't get enough of gazing....

And then the moon appeared...........

Growing larger....

I don't know if it was official but it was full...........

And later after dark, it was awesome!

This is a shot of the Mystery Plant. I think it is gorgeous but has stopped blooming at the moment.

I dealt with a little Okra today...........

I got a gallon bag of sliced and a few small whole pods for the freezer....

Watermelon anyone?

Part of the posts for the Chicken Coop were set this morning...but not where we first planned to put them.....It will be on the south side behind Hubby's shop.

The Courtyard posts go in...........

These are the back posts.....

The right side posts............

Left side..............

This was the first post put down....

Oh My Gosh........one side of the inside dog wire is UP !

Looking good!

Ahwwwwww my fat boy Patch is 6 weeks today!

They got new digs today! They like it better than the box as they can see what's going on!

These are some sweet babies!! They also got food for the first time today!

What a sweet face!

Outside play time is sooooo much fun!!

The Courtyard will also serve as a play yard for all the Peek gang!

" Wass Going On"

It's been a REALLY busy few days. A 10 and 7 year old can keep you hopping! I first want to say I got the brand new release " Pretty Is As Pretty Dies " by Elizabeth Spann Craig in the mail yesterday! The book is the first in the Myrtle Clover Mystery series and is set in North Carolina! It is such a pretty book I couldn't wait to start it, so I dug in last night.







Elizabeth is one of my fellow bloggers catch her @ Mystery Writing Is Murder and she also follows The Writers Porch! Thank you Elizabeth for giving me the opportunity to read and review your new book!

I ran into some pretty ominous clouds on Sunday while driving to Memphis and some rain but had a pretty good trip.

I was dreading having to drive through this black boomer

The closer I got, the more I dreaded it! I was actually able to drive out of it in a short distance thank goodness!

It has rained everyday until today so we've done a lot of reading, watching movies, eating and laying around!Oh, and puppy sitting!

" The Girl" arrived last night, she got today off from school for making an A+ on a project.

So we are heading to Pensacola Beach in the morning!

This morning, we had "puppy races". Duke won most of the time as even though he is still a

" fat boy " he's not as fat as Patch. Yes, Hoss has a new name! Patch, short for Patches!

They actually would race from the kids to Melanie who was patting the floor calling their name.

They are really growing and playing around now. They were 5 weeks on Tuesday!

Thank you all for your comments and I'll be back in full speed on Monday!

I also got a report from the GI doctor, the polyps were benign!! Thank you for your prayers!!
