There's Rick and John, mugging for the camera. Its been a productive day outdoors. As you can see, the cacti have been removed. What a prickly chore!

In place of the cacti, I've planted a colorful mix of purple pansies, white petunias and red dianthus. In the big planting area to the right of the front "porch" I have put in 3 Knock Out rose bushes and will border the whole thing with the same mix as is on the other side. My hope is that it is all growing well and filling in nicely by Memorial Day weekend.
Among other things, John worked on installing a door to close off the office from the former restaurant kitchen. The old framework had to be removed and re-done and new trim added. He did it all. Who knew he was such a talented carpenter!

Our billboard went up this morning! It's out on I-44 eastbound at the 24.0 mile marker. Peaches' sweet face is smiling at all the drivers going by. Now who could resist!

The new hot water tank is in, the building is re-plumbed for the propane. The propane tank will be moved to the office building Monday, and the new washers and dryers will go in just after. It has been an awesome (but busy) week.

May you all have a blessed week.
