We are soooo close!!!

Front Yard, you can see the sand we had to cover.

From the back porch looking towards the creek.

This is the front yard. We were not going to do much grass,

but the yard is so sanding we had too

This is a view from down towards the creek.

I will be sooo glad when we are done!!

But, then I think 'Do you ever really get done when you own a house?'

We used crushed brick in the pathway, for the color.

As easy as one - two- three...

I was able to take one day off last week and go to the beach with Jame and the kids.

We had a great day..my sister, baby John (my great nephew) and my mom came out.

Jacob was caught digging a trench for water that was leaking from the waterhose to run in...while waiting on everyone to get ready to go down to the water.

Emmy also liked the sand (can't say I like it as much as I used too) She always has a smile.
And Mac has water, so watch out..she got real brave over the fews days they were there. I did not "doctor" these at all so not the greatest pics...but love the subjects!

Hickory Horned devil caterpillar...Regal Moth

This big guy was resting on my garage door last evening...he was huge

after looking for him on the web for a while,(ask Shelia) I found him... I go crazy trying to learn about things like this...His wing span was about 5 or 6 inches..His head was big and fuzzy, and bright orange and yellow

Look at those eyes...and legs...He was awesome..But if you really want to see him look up "Big, Stinging, Hungry Caterpillars of the East Coast"...and look at him as a caterpillar, He is called Hickory horned devil caterpillar because of he likes to feed on hickory trees..and he most defiantly looks like the devil!!!
