A morning of fun

 Throwing acorns and sticks into the water.

 

 It is hard to believe that the water used to be so high over this pipe that you could paddle a boat over it.

 

 The water was so still the morning we took this walk.

 

 "Fishing" in the lake.

 

More "fishing". All that was caught was a bunch of weeds. 

Night Sparkles

 

Lilly liked to look at the sparklers but not actually touch them. Lucy loved them, though.

 



Garden Update

 The hot weather caused the spinach to bolt and this is the last of my lettuce.

 

 I have two cucumber plants, this is the smaller one. The bigger one had four cucumbers on it, but squirrels ate them. The squirrels also ate my squash.

 

 The blackberries are slowly starting to ripen.

 

The blueberry bushes are starting to have blueberries. We also found wild blueberries growing behind our house. 

Tea Party Time

 Lilly got a real china tea set for Christmas and the girls have enjoyed playing with it.

 

 April and Panda were invited.

 

Jonas was invited buy after almost breaking a cup he was redirected to another, more toddler appropriate activity. 

What we have been up to..

 Cleaning the camper so we can hopefully go camping soon.

 

 Making yogurt.

 

 Picking peas at grandma's house.

 

Trying to keep the cats from demolishing what is left of my garden.

Honeysuckle Spring

 The honeysuckles have been in full bloom. We have the everywhere and the girls love to pick and taste the nectar.

 

 This is their favorite spot to climb and get some.

 

This red kind is the honeysuckle that is actually native to North Carolina. The yellow and white kind that is seen more often is invasive Japanese honeysuckle.
