Old Timer's Gardening an Family Respect

Well, it's almost summer and Memorial Day has come and gone so that only means 1 thing,  "Gardens" and Gardening !    I am at the age now that after 2 falls and sprains and a hair line fracture of the hip I can not "Bend Over" nor if I get down on the ground and sit It is almost imp[ossible to gwet back up on my feet!

.

We had to think about this when we were driving over to Post Office and saw in front of a House a pair of steps, about 4 feet long with 3 steps, we stopped and talked to the fella who was in the Military and was rebuilding his porch if we could but the steps,  He said "NO" !  but we could have them !!!LoL !!  Not only could we have them as he saw we didn't  have a truck him and his son delivered them !

.

.

We got the steps up on the deck and secured.   

.

.

We went to the Garden Shed and brought out some 3 gallon  Dunkin Donuts pails. 

.

.

We have fresh Lettuce for sandwichs now,  the Beans have sprouted and the Cherry Tomatoes on top have rooted !

.

.

The Deck Garden is Done and growing !

.

.

The old Garden out back now has Sweet White Onions planted on the end and the other end in Lebanese Squash, *Koosa), I was lucky as the Wife helped get this all Planted !

.

.

We went up to Champion and the Wife planted flowers on her Mothers Plot,  This Plot is the "Waite" Family Plot, the Big stone lists the Parents an names of the 19 Children, some of whom are interred here.

.

.

In the Champion Cemetary we have purchased and have the Deed for our Final Resting Place,  It is the flat white Concrete Slab with no Head Stone on it yet.  Don't want to use it for a few years yet.

.

.

We went to Pond Settlement and visited my Parents Lot, John and Ethel Wood and pulled a few weeds, my Brother who lives near by does the flowers.

.

.

Our last Stop was South Edwards Cemetary, Standing I can see my Great Great Grandfather Silas Wood an wife Laura,  Next to them is his Brother James Wood and Elizabeth,  past them is my Great Grandfather John Wood and his wife Addie,  In front of Him is my Grandfather Silas Wood and his wife Margaret.

.

Paid our Respects and headed Home !
