We can&#8217;t take the pontoon boat all the way to the end so it feels enchanting to me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a big rooster placement problem here.  Kevin pounded a piece of rebar into the ground last year to place the giant rooster and so he put it back in the same place this year because when he pulled it out last year, one of the piece of rebar stayed in the ground because it was pounded right into a big root.  So now it&#8217;s not going anywhere, but it totally blocks the beautiful irises that Dad planted down there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m5.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As the ground keeps sinking down there, stuff isn&#8217;t looking good, which is why it&#8217;s even more important to at least have the irises.  Kevin has talked about laying some railroad ties down along the edge, so hopefully he&#8217;ll do that this summer.  The only problem with that is that there are approximately a zillion other things that need to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweetie had never laid in this window sill before; she loves to mix it up in terms of sleeping spots all over the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m6.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m6-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t able to successfully-enough capture the far shore which was lit up in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m7.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m7-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s Spot, our outdoor kitty.  He hangs out on the front porch quite a bit and also sometimes on the back deck and he has gotten in the fenced yard on more than one occasion.  We need to make him part of the family!  One problem with this is that he might terrorize everybody else.  He&#8217;s definitely an Alpha male.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m8.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/m8-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Darling little Lovey who might be related to Spot.
