The weather in Arizona has cooled to the point where I can finally start working in the yard - something that I really love to do. Today I cleaned out a flower bed in front of my military housing, covered the ground in white marble rocks, and planted a couple of new roses. One of Arizona's few pluses is that roses grow well here. The new rose garden looks nice. Tomorrow I will populate it with my colorful collection of metal yard gnomes. (I'm bucking for yard of the month!)
As I was shopping for the new rose bushes today at Lowe's, I got a phone call from my oldest grandchild, Boone. He wanted me to know that deer season started today in Missouri and he shot a doe on the first day. He was quite excited. I have never been a hunter, but Boone and his dad are, and I know the activity is a good bonding experience for them. Boone also told me that he went to a school dance last night. The little man is growing up way too fast!
I have been saving money for Boone's college since he was just a few months old. It's hard to believe, but we will begin cashing in those savings bonds in less than five years!
Boone, Pa Rock remains very proud of you!
