The finishing touches on our rock garden and a well deserved fun day at Frankenmuth











The first 4 pictures show our fun day at Frankenmuth. There was a chicken shaped shrub, then Cristal on the carriage ride along with Kevin and I in the other picture pulled by horsepower named GUS. The last picture is all of us standing by Gus. The day was beautiful and very enjoyable. Of course, we ate the famous chicken dinner, shopped the shops, and walked a lot.
The last few pictures are of our mostly finished rock garden that is in our front yard. We will continue to add flowers and shrubs as time goes on. We put the wrought iron fence up along the driveway and it completed the look. We are enjoying it a lot. We bought a big bird feeder that we now have to add to it. We enjoy watching hummingbirds, finches, chickadees, cardinals, doves, titmouses, blue jays, gold finches and some that we don't know are coming. We have pesky squirrels that like to enjoy the bird food so we are finding ways of getting rid of them because they eat up the food and the bird feeders themselves. Pesky things!!
