wouldn't want boredom to settle in.....

Phillip is visiting us for the summer. I didn't want him to get bored, he says he eats when he's bored. Wanting him to stay healthy, we embarked on a few projects around the house.  The first endeavor was actually his idea.  He noticed the poor wilted veggie bushes in the garden and said, "mom, you really need to shade that garden, you need a little greenhouse or something".  So off we went to the hardware store for some greenhouse supplies.  After perusing greenhouse kits online, we found them to be a little pricey, we stocked up on PVC pipe and connectors, to build what became a greenhouse lean-to.  It was coming along nicely, but we underestimated the power of the Oklahoma winds.

We have been back to the drawing board several times to remedy this wind and shade problem, we are still working on it.  Anyway, we moved on to painting around the front door.  It really turned out better than I hoped, brightens the area around the door nicely. 

So yesterday we decided to have a little fun with some booze infusion.  We added strawberries to the Jack....

added a little pineapple to the Vodka...

and made some pretty little bottles of what hopes to be some mellow tastin' cordials.

Stay tuned for the tasting.
