Dad has been working in the backyard again. Here he's putting daylillies in the area between us and our neighbors. There was a hedge there that was badly damaged two years ago in the ice storm. There were pumpkins there last year but the little boy next door moved so there was just dirt. It should be really pretty when they all start blooming.
The pruned tree looks much nicer as it's leafing out. This was taken from the deck so you see more of the top than if you're down on the ground. It will be a lot easier for dad to pick the apples this fall.
The clematis has some blooms on it - just waiting for it to fill in a bit more. Dad and I don't have a lot of luck with this particular flower.
Our hollyhocks are getting bigger and have lots of buds on them - am anxious for them to start blooming. I remember Grandma having hollyhocks on our farm when I was a kid.
This actually looks worse than it is but he has to have this metal patch on his eye at night for a week so he doesn't accidently scratch or rub the eye. He had a small growth and a skin tag removed on his left eye. Things are going well as long as we remember the eyedrops three times a day for the next two weeks and then we start over with the next eye. Good thing I'm an "old" secretary - have a chart laying here on the table to mark all the times down.
That's it for today - dad and I went to Sioux Falls this morning and took some pictures of Falls Park - the water was really high and I heard someone say it had been higher on Sunday. Will try to get those pictures and videos posted tomorrow.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY VERY, VERY FAVORITE 11-year old. Sam, you are truly one of a kind!! Love you
Gramma and MOM
