Outdoor Projects by Amateurs

The Husband and I have been busy in the yard this week.  Some long overdue clean-up and a couple projects that wanted done.   Well, needed done for one of them.

I've been looking at this one for two years.  Ewww!

 But it is now under control and looking better.

It's a start.

And my pet project finally got done.

This hole under the arbor was a hill of fill dirt, rocks and mud.

Already looked better as a hole!

 And then.  Ta Da!   It isn't very professional.  But I did it myself.  I am rather pleased with myself.  So don't burst my bubble.

Happy Sigh.

 

My Daughter is Da Bomb!

I posted about memory for a writing prompt.
But I couldn't remember all the words for one of the songs I listed. Within minutes my daughter, the smartest kid in the known universe, found and sent me the lyrics. And here they are:

"Song-Fong-Lo was painted on a saucer
Wing-Tee-Wee was on a fan
Song-Fong-Lo he came across her
On the dressing stand. 

They both had travelled many miles on the sea
Each gave the other smiles of sweet sympathy

Song-Fong fell in love with Wee ,
Singing tenderly
Wee, please come with me
And let's  go back to dreamy lotus land

There 'mid flower fair
I swear to love you, love you
'Neath the magic moon above you

Wee, I love but thee
Just wait and see 
That wondrous dream I've planned 

I'll leave my saucer
You leave your fan
And let's go back to dreamy lotus land

Wing-Tee-Wee as soon as he had spoken
Came from off her silken fan
In her hurry she was broken
No more can she stand. 

Poor little Song-Fong with the tears in his eye
Stands all alone and wishes he too could die

As he dreams the dreams gone by
Each night he must sigh,
Wee, please come with me
And let's  go back to dreamy lotus land

There 'mid flower fair
I swear to love you, love you
'Neath the magic moon above you

Wee, I love but thee
Just wait and see 
That wondrous dream I've planned 

I'll leave my saucer
You leave your fan
And let's go back to dreamy lotus land"
