Burley Babe

H is fast asleep in the burley, snuggled between a Boppy and Brobee. He woke up way early this morning. He sang happily from his crib until 6am when I finally decided his talking was turning to a more demanding tone.

It downpoured last night and I'm sitting on slightly damp wooden steps watching for signals that H is waking. It's a gamble taking him on burley rides in the am before his first nap because he tends to pass out and sleep for a shorter time than he would in bed. Oh well. Can't wake him now.

I am looking around this crazy backyard right now. It is so BUSY with things. The guy that lived here before had a thing for flowers. Yes I like them fine but wow, So many! Tulip, daffodils, tiger lily, a crazy purple bamboo-like plant, roses and then there are the fruit bushes. Raspberries surround the fence on all sides, an old growth grape vie is ranging free and a bizaar plum-like tree is growing knarly looking fruit. And on top of all this there is a gazebo smack dab in the middle.

We need to par down. Plus I's take a garden over flowers any day. It'll be a big project in the fall. A lot of work for a postage stamp sized back yard!
