A work in progress.........

Now that we are back in Salem, time just seems to move at warp speed. Can’t believe it’s been almost a week since my last blog. Certainly, there are a lot of things going on here in Salem, but I guess the yard has been pre-occupying our days lately. Today was a gorgeous day in the 70’s, and with the exception of some rain on Wednesday, it’s been a perfect week for getting the yard spiffed up. Last week, while down at the Salem Beautification plant sale, we met a gal, Nancy, (and she only lives about four doors down from us), who does yard work as a profession. Need I say no more……..Donald and I had her signed up to help us with "this old yard”; a true challenge for these two greenless thumbed B&B owners. Now that we have a mentor and motivator, I think we might have turned the page of yard despair……… We're definitely a work in progress. And now that the chairs are on the deck and the grounds weeded, the planting begins. Of course, yellow, blue, pink and white is the color scheme. No oranges or reds allowed. Ada picks the colors. Donald decides where they go. Nancy plants.
Happiness reigns............. Lemonade anyone!

Meet Nancy.......
