"So many things to do, so little time"

There goes my son again in his hot rod!
He will be back in time for dinner though.
We're grilling dinner later on!

Since graduating from high school, my son started working weekdays as a swim coach again this summer. The weekends, however, are for spending time hanging out with his friends before they take off to different colleges (and the armed forces) across the country.

Can anyone with a good eye tell what college my son will attend?

The weirdest thing happened this morning.
A huge buzzard was on the deck, right outside the window. I saw something red move out the corner of my eye and thought it was the flag moving. Holy crap was I shocked to see a huge buzzard instead!

When I went for my smartphone to get some photos [naturally] it flew away. I snapped a couple photos while it hungout on the fence. The buzzard reminded me of a flying turkey!

Is it supposed to be a bad sign or omen if you
see a buzzard or one visits your home?

The past winter was especially brutal and I lost many of my perennials as well as a holly bush that was in front of our house. I suppose it was time for a change in landscape anyway. We cut down all the old shrubs and went to Home Depot to buy some new greenery.

No flowers bought today though....

Dug holes, laid out the new plants, mixed peat moss with potting soil and got the job done. I should have taken "before and after" photos of the landscape project. Oh well! I'll take some photos of
the way it looks now to post.

Did anyone else lose plants after this past winter?

Now that work is done....

....it's time for "grilling and chilling!"
(and a Funkyedit!)
