Yup, if I have to take a season off, summer is the one to give up. All I do is water and wait all the way through July and August.  Mad

Thanks for the well-wishes on the real estate deals. We aren't set to close until the middle of June and all kinds of stuff could go wrong between now and then.  affraid 

The pool is heavenly -- still a little cold, however.  Shocked

I'll bet you could find a spot for one of those small hot tubs. I've seen some really neat ones that could nestle in with the plants and be really refreshing on a hot day.  Cool

Yesterday we got a call from our grandson-in-law. He wanted to get rid of a bunch of large landscape rocks and a huge load of topsoil and dead grass from their front yard. He was going to pay to dump it. WHAT?!  Shocked Anyway, we had him bring it to the new place and dump it in front, where I'm going to mound it into a gentle curve and turn it into a pollinator garden. He was afraid he was imposing on us. I'm looking at about $800 worth of beautiful dirt WITH NO ROCKS!  🐢I've already named the finished garden "Allan's Knoll." I can't wait to get it finished, but I'm already exhausted from the other projects involved in this deal, so I may still be looking at that pile of dirt in October.  Sad

Wow.. Did you smack your son in law over the head.. likes Gibbs did to Tony in N.C.I.S?   

For curiosity sake.. how much was he looking at paying the person to haul it away and "dispose" of it?

I cant wait to see how your creativity flows with Allan's Knoll. Smile

He's in the automotive biz, and has friends with heavy equipment. He had an "excavator" truck with a hydraulic dump thingy. I think he also borrowed a tractor to dig it up with. The only cost would have been about $30 to dump it. For me, it's pure gold.  I love you  He had already brought over a regular pickup load and dumped that at the old house, so I have plenty of materials if I ever get a chance to garden again.  Butterfly Junction - Page 16 671790

The new house has a partial walk-out basement that the previous owners forgot to clean out. Most of it went into the dumpster, but at the very back, we found A COMPLETE GROW LIGHT SETUP! YEE HAH! I AM ALL SET FOR WINTER GROWING!  happy turtle

Well, I was wrong about the electricity. Hubby had an extension cord down there for lights, but the breaker box is in there, so it shouldn't be hard to get some outlets installed. That's several months down the road, so it's not on my 10-mile-long to-do list for today.  affraid

They readily cross pollinate and the cross is bitter.

WE BOUGHT A TREEHOUSE!  happy turtle Escrow finally closed on this deal that we've been working on for most of this year. I've been afraid to talk about it, cuz there was so much that could have gone wrong, but now there's nothing left except to record the deed, so I think it's safe to share.  Butterfly Junction - Page 16 43549

Here's why I've named it "The Treehouse." This is the view from the balcony, right outside our kitchen door (about 10' above ground level). This fall, I hope to start an herb garden in containers, here. There are no stairs, so it will be a cat-free zone, too. That means I can hang my hummingbird feeders out there. More pics, tomorrow, but I had share something today or explode!

We have decided to move into this one and let our kids take over the one we're living in, now. It means I'll have to hike the length of a football field to get to the Salad Bar and BTE beds, but maybe I'll get a little electric scooter to make it easier.  darn funny 

I know the last pic probably didn't make any sense, so here are some more to put it all in perspective.

This shot is from the kitchen, looking out toward the balcony, which is straight out the back of the house. The pool area is off to the right.
Butterfly Junction - Page 16 Treeho11

This shot is from below, looking back up at the kitchen. This whole house owes its personality to that big old oak tree.  I love you
Butterfly Junction - Page 16 Treeho12

Finally, here is my view from the kitchen sink (a quarter turn to the left of door). The house is all on one level, but the property drops down in the back, so the back half of the house really is up in the treetops.  Cool
