Greg has been driving his ATV and picking up all these free rocks for our slope. He also put in a mulch pathway that I think turned out pretty nice.
Greg's flower boxes are doing well!
The butterflies seem to like these purple flowers. (I don't know what they are called, I'm just happy I haven't killed them! Ha!)
My new bird bath - don't think I've shown it to you yet. I found this in an antique shop for $20 - isn't it wonderful?
We've been invaded by baby Grosbeaks! I counted 7 of them the other day on our deck crying for their parents to feed them. They're noisy and I love them. Look at this plump little girl - she's certainly well fed! I don't know what my excuse is......I need to tell PF Changs and Pepsi Cola to quit feeding me....
Hi Shelley, I love the baby Grosbeak... What a cutie... I also love your new birdbath...
ReplyDeleteAND--your yard looks wonderful....I love the rocks, the mulch walkway, the steps, etc.... It really looks great...
The flowers are pretty also... Guess I need to learn to start calling you Mayor Shelley.... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Everything looks great! Love all the improvements.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to be ( your Cabin) The out door projects are making things look good.

So Madame Mayor, ha ha - everything is beautiful. What a pleasure it must be view the flower beds, path, rocks etc. from the deck. That baby bird is huge!
ReplyDeleteShelley or should I say Mayor, the outside of the cabin is looking great! I love what all you've done with it. Your birdbath, too cute!!
ReplyDeleteHey SHelley!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great! Tell Greg good job!
And your fat little bird is too cute!
What! No picture of my Girl?!!!! What's with that? :)
Hugs! Karen
Wow you have been busy. Pack up the babies and send them to me. I think your plant is Monardia also called Bee Balm and is a perennial. Hummers love it. I have it in red, but want one like yours. Love all that you are doing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is always so much to do at the cabin, isn't there. I need to spend more time at ours to get some serious resealing done inside and out. Your beds look wonderful and the paths. Hubby is doing a great job. The flower that the hummers love is a Bee Balm, mine too, like Sharons, is red. They are nearly impossible to kill and will reseed. Mine grow in the sun and the shade so they are nearly indestructible. Love that fat lil Grosbeak.

The work speaks for itself...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your little plump birds. Do you think they get PF Changs take out????
You certainly have been busy around your cabin. Everything looks great. I like the picture of your baby grosbeak.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your election victory. Today the lake -- tomorrow the state!!
I just love the rocks on the slope. Those rocks look heavy - it must have been a lot of work collecting them and putting them there. Yard is looking really nice.
ReplyDeleteYour path and rock slope are looking great! Look at that cute birdie! I love PF Changs....lettuce wraps, lemon pepper shrimp, mongolian beef...yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley.
ReplyDeleteWe,too, built a log home last year. We have now lived in it for one year and love our home in the woods. We also have a Bernese!!
Your home looks wonderful!!

All of your out door projects have turned out so well. Everything looks so pretty. I especially love the rock boarder your hubby is making. I think you would make a great mayor of your little town. Those flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit us. I forgot to answer your question. We give Charli regular ice cream. We only give vanilla and just a little bit. If you stop by a dairy Queen or custard place and ask for a doggy portion sometimes they have special little cups and include a dog treat of some kind.
ReplyDeleteThings are looking great around there (o:

watch out for those darn restaurants and soft drinks(o:
Wow! You two sure do know how to create beautiful grounds at your cabin. All of it looks like a magazine picture. I wish my flower boxes looked as healthy as your do. The caption with the little Grosbeak made me smile once again. Thanks for another enjoyable visit here today.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post. Those flowers are so pretty and that birdbath sundial is perfect. I'd love to find one like that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job. I hope all goes well.
Blessings,
Marcia
Hi Shelley
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful at the lake! Love your new birdbath - such a great find.
Hope you are having a wonderful Summer ♥
I love how those are "Greg's" flower boxes - does he have the greener thumb of the two of you, or are you equally endowed??
ReplyDelete(my uncle has the green thumb, as well as the domestic side, which is always amusing to me)
