Home Improvements...

After we fed the cattle this morning,

we brought our power tools 

to the Quilt Palace...

This patch of blackberries is history...

The Cowboy fired up the power saw...

and slayed those weeds!

Weeds-B-Gone !

We filled up the dump bed 

with lots of weeds...

The Cowboy fired up the weed eater and

whacked up the small stuff...

Nothing left to do but 

rake and sweep the walkway...

Dumping the weeds...

Next....the Cowboy repaired the trim

above the bay window...

Here comes the show 'n tell:

Looking down from the front porch...

Looking up from the driveway.

No more getting poked by blackberries

when you come to sew on Mondays!

Thanks Cowboy!
