It seems that the saved blog that I did this morning wasn't saved after all, so I'll have to begin all over again. Just as well. This one will be even better!
You ever heard of a Rock Hound? Sounds like a dog in a rock n roll band, doesn't it. But - its a machine that scoops up rocks, sifts rocks, roots, branches out of the dirt and deposits them elsewhere so that a lawn can be lain that is pretty much rock-less, or almost so. Seeing we have a billion rocks, it will get rid of some of them. Our landscaping guy is coming tomorrow and barring bad weather, he will begin.
Paul has completed the patio, and has the floor of the deck done too. Randy came yesterday and helped him with the flooring. It looks really nice. We went to Lowes this afternoon and got railing and bannisters to put on it, and railings for stairs. It's about 3 feet off the ground. 12 X 12 I am determined to learn how to put pictures on this blog. If anyone has any concrete steps for me to follow, please let me know. Remember any step is not too "stupid." It's me that is missing the brain power. Just e-mail it.
It's Pentecost Sunday today, so we went to church. Didn't remember it was, till we got there, and a lot of people were dressed in red to represent the fire of the spirit. Pentecost Sunday is the birth of the Christian church.
Look it up, if you'd like.
Church: We've been going to the First United Methodist Church in Horseheads, or FUMC for short. We feel very comfortable there. Paul is meeting all sorts of people he knew from working days at Westinghouse in Horseheads. They have a 10:30 service that reminds me a lot of Bath Pres.
Their choir director/organist is the organist at the Clemens Center. He is so good! It's a pleasure to listen to him. I have a good friend from Curves, Carol Hallenbeck who is in the choir. She introduced me to him after church today. I would like to play a piano solo there some time this summer. He said to let him know the date.
The sun is setting through the trees in the woods out back. Paul and I took a walk back there after dinner to see how the irises, hostas, and other plants he brought from Montour Falls were doing. It's all in a small area together with some strawberry plants.

Above the box where you type your blog posts, there should be a selection of buttons. One of them should look like a small picture (blue sky and mountain). (If you hover your cursor over it, it should say "Add Image".) Click on that, and a window will pop up (make sure you allow popup windows!) that will walk you through the steps of putting in a photo. You can put up a small, medium or large photo, and it can be aligned to the left of the text, to the right, centered, or with no text next to it at all. Just select the picture that you want to add from your computer, and upload it. Blogger will shrink large pictures to a smaller size. It's easy to do. Just experiment a little.
Also, you shouldn't lose blog posts. They are automatically saved. If you go to Blogger Dashboard, and then click on "Edit Posts" you will probably find your lost blog post still there. It doesn't show up on your blog until you click "Publish Post" however.
Your new church sounds great, Mom, and so does all the work being done on the house!
