It's always nice to go over and help Granddaddy and Grandmama in their yard.
We thought it would be nice for Grandmama to have a garden that she could have easy access to, so Granddaddy hopped on board , and we made some raised beds for her right beside the house.

Deeda proclaimed proudly that her friend beetles squeaked.They actually did! She was quite proud of them:):)
Digging a hole......obviously
I planted a gardenia here for Grandmama
I would say "Art" if I didn't detest that term :D

Mary, what wonderful pictures! Granddaddy and I both loved going through them. You know, when I first met him, we had both just graduated from high school, and guess what his friends called him?? "Farmer Dan"! His family had a small farm, and he worked for other farmers in the area on weekends. Having our little farm has been something he has always wanted to do, so "Farmer Dan" is quite appropriate!
Yes, that was the sweetest thing, when y'all came over and fixed the raised beds for me. They weren't too big, and that's a good thing! We enjoyed the peas and okra, and Granddaddy has already replanted with a variety of heirloom veggies. Thanks so much!
The pictures all look good, so your mama's phone camera must do a good job!
Those were great pictures! I bet Grandmother and Granddaddy were very blessed by y'all's helpful hands. The raised beds look very productive.
Deeda's donkey is so cute! I'm sure she's anxious for him to be at your house.
Love,
Aunt Katie
Those were adorable pictures. It looks like you had a good time. Work is always more fun when you have a big family.

Hey Y'all!!

How blessed you are to have your family all around you...well, most of your family!!!
Much love to all,

Where is deeda'a donkey at right now? I noticed that the gate was either purchased from our old feed store, or bought direct from Circle R Ranch (wich I think you have to be a dealer to buy from).
The pic of the pasture and the sure brought back memories.
Tangled barbed wire, and no grass in the pasture. No offence intended grandaddy LOL!.

Please, oh please,forgive my lack of comments! My spare time has been cut by about 90% since the entrance of a certain hungry baby into our lives!
This was a wonderful post, showing what grandchildren do best - bless their grandparents! i was at Grandmama's the day the Stricklen "work crew" showed up! What a black dirt movin' machine they are!
My guess is Grandaddy was singing a slightly silly song in that picture. Am I right?
Love,
Aunt Beth
I can't wait to meet "Lefty". It's fun to keep up with the Stricklen's adventures via your Blog. Mary you do a great job!
