Our Life Lately

Mom and I have been going to the temple every other Tuesday morning

Got to visit with my friend Stacy at her new job. 

We are in the process of eliminating those DANG VOLES in our lawn. 

Old Man and Wrinkly old Woman 

Honey do,,,,,,,ssssss

Re-did some chairs (Paint and new fabric) 

Watching a storm roll in, and roll on by.......very little rain.
We haven't gotten much rain this summer - it's a bummer. 

Plenty of wind though, puts down branches that get caught in the Welch Ditch Dam, which Roger cleans out multiple times a week. 

Even blew so hard one night we were without power for about 4 hours (6 to 10 pm) 
Can you guess which kid gave us this candle? haha

Early morning watering of garden has been so nice and cool. 

Peas are gone.  I'm so proud that we have been able to keep the weeds down, especially in the bottom of the garden where we didn't plant anything. 

Got the electric fence up to keep the raccoons out of the corn. 

Cleaned out Mom's light fixture which were riddled with wasp nests.

Removed her cement edging and sold it, and when the flowers die, we are going to put down bark, and get the three barrels from the Property, and redo her flower bed.

Also, took out the flowers and bushes under the bedroom window, so the sprinklers would get the dry spot on the lawn hopefully. 

Our one lone sunflower that came up from seed (volunteer) - it's ahead of the others I planted for sure.  I think it's about 10-12 feet tall. 

 

Another project at Zac and CJ's.  I can't tell you how many revisions this room has had over the course of the years.  I could do an entire blog post just on this one room !  

Cupboards taken down, wall removed, dog wash station removed. 

Going to remove the wall behind the washer and dryer, so that they can be pushed back against the outside wall.  Also, another wall will be built against the side of the desk (see in bottom right photo) and another dog wash installed on the outside wall. 

Football practice in full swing for both Tagg and Thatcher. Hope for a great year with lots of playing time.  Fingers crossed.
