Since I last visited, an obnoxious cousin and his wife moved in to my dad's house where I was taking care of him. He caused sooooooooo many problems it has been heck up in here. 
My dad passed away in February and during dad's long illness this cousin continued to make life as unpleasant as possible while I grieved. Police had to escort them OUT of my house for threatening me,
and attornies had to be brought in to keep this cousin from doing a squat in along with his thievery. While dad was sick, this ass had his name put on the title to 3 of dad's vehicles when dad had him register the vehicles!
This was all in his preparation to lay claim to the house!
But finally both he, his stank wife, his huge rottweiler, and ALL of his stuff are now gone, the locks have all been changed, and life is good again.
My evil cousin has finally got ALL of his stuff out of MY house!!!!
And I have been a very busy Leo!
I have been sewing/decorating every inch of my spacious raised ranch house on almost an acre corner lot -- on a beer budget. When I finish I will take photos for you.
By the end of summer I expect to be mostly finished.
Lately I have been focusing on the back porch and the gardens. I have planted 22 roses [hybrid teas, climbers, floribundas, knockouts, and grandifloras]. Saturday, I plan to buy another 10 roses! I have always wanted a rose garden. I mixed them with shasta daisies and forget me nots.
I put up lattice work to shade the back porch [the trellises will hold sweet peas & climbing roses]. I found two narrow antique benches and sewed cushions & pillows in outdoor bright colored fabrics.
I set up a small tub water garden with pink miniature waterlilies and a few black crappie. I ordered lots of apple, peach, cherry, plum, pear, crabapple, walnut, & pecan trees [twigs actually]. I am setting up raised beds of railroad ties and telephone poles for my vegetable garden. I am starting a herb garden. I planted god knows how many containers of annual flowers. I am putting up metal fence post and woven wire fencing to hold the 3 grapevines I bought. I am planting alpine strawberries in the wooded area south of the house along with the established daylilies. I put in solar panel walk lights along the back parking area and walkway.
And I still have tons of projects left to start and complete. I still have to move unwanted furnishings out, and my furniture which is in storage in. I will be doing this moving bit by bit over the summer. There is a lot of new curtain rods to hang, sewing to do, and general stuff.
Also, I promised the nursing home to resume my cooking/baking classes every other Wednesday. Then, my church wants me to help them equip the church kitchen. I am supposed to go to the YMCA twice a week for exercise. And my black arabian mare Lady Ashen wants some attention this summer.
So.......forgive me for not being around much this summer. Hopefully by winter things will have calmed down a little around here. I will check in as often as I can. Thanks for your tolerance and support.
