Maintenance now there is a word...

Maintaining upkeep of a car, a house, a healthy body and mind, of relationships, friendships, gardens, fences ( good fences make for good neighbors ), sometimes a gate is good...  

Mulch for yard and garden, weed and water maintenance, Carving needs... and my mothers Peace Rose

Draw Knives need Sharpening for working on fence posts, Rhodos need ....

Car Port needs new tarps Buddy needs love

Garlic needs attention, flowers need to be enjoyed
Have a Happy Day!

  1. So much maintenance is needed around our place here in Ontario, but we are hampered by heat and rain these days. Our mulch pile is waiting patiently under a giant blue tarp.
    Keeping that positive attitude is so important!I'm sure Buddy helps with that.

  3. I think everyone that own a house and property have constant maintenance. Just the weeding and grass cutting is a chore. I love the bench and carvings. And Buddy is a cutie! Great post, have a happy week!

  7. Hi Rob! I think maintenance is a bad word, but it has to be done! I am a psychometrist with a local school district and just started my 4 week summer! I have a list of "maintenance" items to take care of before school begins. I am visiting from my first ever Mosaic Monday party. Sad that I have never attempted a mosaic before. When you get a a break form all your maintenance, stop by Still Woods Farmhouse for a visit!

  8. Having a home and a garden means work. But it's fun, too. Looks like you have a great harvest of garlic scapes there. I just made some garlic scape pesto over the weekend. Delicious. You have a beautiful yard.

  9. You have a beautiful yard to prove your maintenance pays off.

    Have a good 1st Blue Monday, Rob.

  10. Vancouver looks so beautiful and intriquing ~ wonderful photography ~ Happy Day to you ^_^

    I agree 'maintenance' is a 'loaded' word ~ More things we have the more maintenance. I keep trying to 'keep it simple' ~ yet I don't seem to be 'listening' to myself!
