40 Years to Grow, 1 Hour to Mow

We are working on a facelift on our front yard. Last summer we replaced our front step, with a plan to create a more welcoming entrance to the property. We have never had a front walkway leading to our door, instead requiring visitors to walk up the driveway. Often visitors are unsure of how to reach our door, and many walk up the neighbours driveway instead. Hopefully, a new paving stone walk and some carefully placed landscaping will provide a major facelift to the front of the house, and provide a welcoming entrance.
However, our beautiful spruce tree may live on in another form. We didn't have it completely removed, with an 8 foot stump still remaining. Our plan is to find someone to carve the stump into a unique sculpture for something a little different on our street. The search continues.

I haven't been in my observatory for some time now. I think it has been over 6 months since I finished installing my new pier. It seemed like whenever I found time to head out and get everything aligned, the weather wouldn't cooperate. Weather, plus my numerous other interests got in the way. With my retirement at the beginning of 2018 I decided it was time to activate the observatory once again.
A New Web Page

Once again I am building a new web page. I neglected my previous web page for so long that the Joomla software became outdated and hard to update, Plus, in my experimenting over the years I installed too many extensions that were not supported by their developers. That made it very difficult to filter out the junk that had accumulated. So as a result, my new page.
The template is a design I created using a program called Artisteer. Most web design "experts" would likely scoff at my use of Artisteer, but I find it an easy way to start with a basic template and modify it as I go. Plus, it allows me to keep it simple.
