Welding & Wall of Fame Weekend

 Friday, Mr. Welder continued his work on the shop.

 Wow his clothes were dirty.

 Saturday, I spent the majority of my day here...

 The peas were picked for the first time.  The squash, zucchini, bell peppers and green beans were picked for the millionth time.  It is really the green beans fault for making me feel that way.  They are sooo tasty...and sooo much work.  I am really happy to do it but I'm not exaggerating when I say it took the better part of the day...and I always end up giving the majority of them away.  BUT I am even happier to be able to share.  Does anyone have a request?  I'll do my best to get you what you have a taste for :)
Just let me know-leave me a comment or send an email.

 My dad brought over his backhoe.

 I tried to snap a few pics each time I went in to unload my overflowing pot of veggies.

 Mr. Welder welding.

 Notice someone hanging out in a shady spot?

 Of course, Daisy had to be right where the action was.

 Sunday the gals went to church and the guys were to this point when we got home.

 And this is how it looked at the end of the day.

 Mom and dad bought me a Rubber Plant to replace the Gardenia.  It was very root bound and looked sad so we transplanted it outside to see what happens.

 Since the garden was in good shape, mom and I worked on finishing up the project I shared last week.

 I think it turned out great.  I thought I might put a lamp on the table so we decided to hang the pictures higher.  Later my dad and Jason mentioned installing some type of spot light.  See the switch on the right?  One side doesn't do anything so we could use that.  If I don't end up with a lamp, then I also have room to add a few more pictures if I want.

 I don't think I've mentioned it before, but the table has three shadow boxes.  I have a few special mementos filling one and plan to fill the other two soon.  Along with a few random bottles, the old jar holds nails from the wood we reused from my Great Grandpa's A-frame.  The little, cylinder, metal can is a vanilla container that was my Great Grandma's.  She used to keep her babysitting money hidden in it. 

 See the little color photo under the "B"?  That is my Great Grandpa and me.

I've realized that I am pretty boring when it comes to wall decor.  I'm not big on hanging a bunch of stuff and actually like bare walls...windows without curtains...  BUT I've had plans to have an area with old family photos for some time.  I think I may have decided this when visiting one of my aunts.  We stayed in her guest room that was decorated with family memorabilia.  This is probably the most interesting wall in the Weld House and I do love it!
