I finished hanging our new porch swing today, and while hanging gave it a second coat of sealer. ....I just held the brush still...and swung the swing back and forth...repeat!
We have two giant "bonsai" pine trees that are in the Senior class, that I have been pruning and fertilizing lately. There were three, but one bit the dust some years back. They have both male and female pine cones on each tree. (Something new, that I learned). The large pine cone is the female, and the smaller one is the male.

MY husband has put a ledge outside our enclosed porch window where he puts feed. and a decorative crabapple grows in front of that. So from the front porch I watch the Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Dove, Sparrows and others arrive and go at different times not 3 ft. from my face. From the Living Room Window I see my beautiful Smoke Tree given to me as a birthday present several years ago from my daughter.
