Latest Purchases for Me!

-


Although most purchases have been for my Grandson, I’ve made some purchases for myself too! 

New seat cushions for my Adirondack bench! 



New bird bath! The birds often use the one out in my front garden quite so I felt the need to buy a second one for my garden out back! 



And the one out front! 

And I LOVE these solar lighted flowers! My daughter-in law has some and I just had to get some for myself too! They are in my garden out front! They look so pretty at night when lit! 




I love this mini Keurig! When I go to my son’s for a visit I bring this with me because I don’t like their coffee and coffee maker. Their coffee maker is more for capuccini, which to me, sucks! They love it but I don’t, LOL! I also take this with me when we go away for vacation! So handy! 



And for working on the trails, I bought a new shovel, which I have already used extensively! 


And this tow strap has also been used extensively on my Polaris to move huge rocks and boulders, as well as huge tree stumps! One of the best investments I’ve made! 


This kit is great for sharpening the chain on my chain saw! 


I also purchased this for my Polaris to protect the bed when I’m using it to carry equipment or when the dogs sit back there when going for a ride! 

And this new hitch for my Polaris is on the way! I didn’t need the ball for it as my little yard cart trailers will mount right to this with a pin! Can’t wait to put this on my Polaris so I can use the yard carts! Will be here on a Monday!

    You always find the best things for the outdoors! That liner is a 'must have' -no doubt!

    Thank you, Sis! Yes, the liner is great for protecting the bed of the Polaris! It protects from scratches when the dogs are back there for a ride, and it seems to provide more traction for them too! It’s so fun shopping but costly too, LOL!!

Too Much Rain!

We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here!  Areas out front:  Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy!   Areas out back:  I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry!  The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav

Deck Work

We are in the process of replacing the deck boards and railings, as well as adding additional supports in various spots to enhance the strength of the deck over time. It was tough removing the old deck boards and getting the new ones into position. The new boards are pressure-treated and are 20 feet in length, so each board was very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Once we had the boards in place it took about 800 deck screws to secure them! That’s a lot of screwing, LOL! We still have the last two end boards to install, as well as the new railings, and then we need to work on the stairs. We are going with premade railings which will be easier to install after trimming them to fit properly. Since the trailer is tied up with the scrap boards and railings, we have to run to the dump when they’re open I was hoping to finish before the end of vacation but we decided to take a break and head up to New Hampshire to visit our son and his family!  Here is the progress so far!  We had the 20-fo

Christmas Decorating in Progress!

-
Image
This year I decided to make some changes with some of my Christmas decorations! The old outdoor strings of lights needed to be replaced. One string no longer worked last year and I figured the others might not might not make it through another season. I have always enjoyed the multicolor lights but I know my husband loves blue lights so I decided to go with blue. They are very pretty but, to me, not as “Christmasy” as the multicolored lights. I could go to the store to get multicolored lights to replace them but it is just too much work at this point! We will remain decorated in blue for this Christmas anyway! LOL!!  But the highlight of my Christmas decorating this year is my new, pre-lit, artificial Christmas Tree! I had been using a pre-lit, artificial Christmas tree that I have had for at least ten years, possibly closer to 15 years! But it was only seven feet tall and looked really tiny in my post and beam living room with super high ceilings!  My new tree is twelve feet tall! And
