  • Weekend projects and gettin' 'er done. Doug teaches all about outdoor showers and a little bit about ceiling fans.
    A little reminiscing about the yard and lawn project. We've come a long way in a year.
    The kids came out to finish installing the dock and launch the pontoon.
    The boys (dogs), Toby, Melvin, and Larry enjoy water fun and critter chasing.
    Thanks for joining us on our life journey, adventures, and shenanigans.
    Blessings,
    Amy

    Thanks to Amy and Dougo for a very nice video.
    It was interesting and enjoyable to watch for sure.
    Plumbing items to me are always the hardest to make work right. I can see Dougo why that outdoor faucet is hard to reset each summer. Hopefully you got it right and it will work ok for the summer. Oh my.
    Like the ceiling fans you put up in the patio area. Very nice. Will move the air on hot days.
    Good teamwork getting the boards put together on the dock and boat area. Those look kind of heavy and hard to put together. Looks nice when put together. Nice going everyone!!!!!!!
    The backyard area and your boat area are looking nice. Glad you all took the time for a boat ride.
    Thanks for the nice video.

    If you want to get rid of chipmunks the easy way, just take a 5 gallon bucket and fill it halfway up with water and then put sunflower seeds on top of the water. And then put it next to step or use a chunk or 2 x 4 for them to go up and jump into the bucket. Sunflower seeds, float chipmunks don’t. If you have a lot of them, you can get dozens of them a day. Works great for for mice also.

    You and Doug have a beautiful home and as you were showing us the photos of last year a quote came to mind maybe from your late President Roosevelt, I'm not sure, but it's something like: "Nothing of value ever comes easily without struggle, effort and pain." Something like that....as a Brit you guys can correct me on my ignorance, but you get the general idea. Sometimes you get the idea in this modern world that hard work is looked down on, when IMHO it's the worst mistake you can make. You guys certainly know how to work hard and you reap the rewards of that effort. Blessings from the UK.

    • @amysblessings
      @amysblessings  Před dnem +1

      Thank you. I found the quote. I would agree with you on how hard work can be looked down on. I wonder if some of the disdain comes from people looking in and seeing the results of the work without seeing the struggle that has ensued to get there.

    • @amysblessings

      Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.

    If you don't mind them get two or three. Make sure to get them fixed.

I’m in the suburbs but most of the yards are fairly small and there lots of fences so the deer tend to go into the “rich” part of town where the houses have large, mostly unfenced lawns and are closer to a big park. I hope you find some plants the deer don’t care for to save the hostas.
