Fix the Fence

Yesterday Mom called the people that live behind us. Somehow one of the slats in the fence was broken. Dad wanted to put in a new one but he had to get on the other side of the fence and they have a German Shepard,

The neighbor came out and did the nailing from his side. The broken slat left enough room for Skeeter to stick his head in the hole and like I said they have a German Shepard. She usually is friendly enough but we didn't want to take the chance.

Mom is still waiting for the pineapples to ripen. It was March when they flowered. They have gotten real big. Mom Fertilized them with citrus fertilizer whenever she did the grapefruit tree.

It's almost time to start thinking about a few vegetables in the garden. I saw some starter plants in Home Depot but it has been too hot. Hopefully we can plant in September.

Mom has a good spot behind the shed. It's wasted space so it will be turned into a garden. Small but last time we planted the birds got more than we did. This time she will cover them when things start to ripen. Especially the tomatoes.
