Pepper & Sophie



These are our little schnauzers. Pepper is the silver and white male and Sophie is the black and silver female. Pepper is 2 1/2 years old and Sophie is 7 months. They just returned home from being groomed.

Strawberries in May



Saturday morning we went to the strawberry patch to pick (and eat) our favorite fruit. I did some taste testing just to make sure the berries were ready for picking. The end result was Strawberry Jam and strawberries sliced with sugar prepared for freezing for the delicious shortcake. Oh I almost forgot. . . strawberry smoothies at dinner with our friends and family.
It was a great weekend. . . maybe I'll go pick again this week.

Our Yard




Springtime is my favorite time of the year. Everything is new, fresh, green, and blooming.
I am very excited about finding new flowers for the yard. I spend most of the day puttering around in the yard. There is always something to do to maintain the beauty. Sophie and Pepper are always bringing sticks in the yard from the woods to chew on. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the sunshine and the showers.

Roses





I changed to an organic fertilizer for all of my plants, roses, and garden this year. The difference is amazing! Everything is greener, plants are growing fantastic, blooms are beautiful! Enjoy the beautiful roses in Susan's Corner.

Bird Houses



We now have a new style of bluebird house. Made with cypress and cedar roof. Clean out is on the bottom. I am sure our feathered friends will love to make a home in this one. Check out the "Traffic Light" bluebird house. It is made with cypress lumber and last a very long time. The "Condo" bluebird house is a 5 home condo and is ready for your yard. You will need a 4 x 4 treated post to place the bird house on. Let us know if you would like to purchase one for your birds. susanhn2000@yahoo.com
