a fun day...

started out this morning washing a tarp we found last weekend...

and then the car and truck...

and just as soon as we were finished...

we had to do a touch up...

Mr Wiggles, muddy paws and all...

decided it was the perfect moment to slide down the front of the windshield...

roses are still blooming away...

after the tarp was dry, we took the blue ones down and put the tan one up...

on the backside of the deck...

to keep out the rain...

there used to be a very old saying...

the corn needed to be knee high by the fourth of July...

now its...

head high by the fourth of July...

and that it is...

DH's willow tree...

he loves that tree...

I started that from a tiny stick...

and then, late afternoon, the grilling began...

while I did my oh, so needed, manicure...

hamburgers and hot dogs today...

Craig's plate...

he added baked beans to his...

and mine...

we had food left over...

and then after dark...

the cop shows up...

we are sitting in the side yard watching the neighbors' shoot off fireworks...

he had gotten a call...

someone complained and it wasn't us, so we sent him down the street...

picture me standing there in my nightgown with a flash light pointed in my face...

something right out of Tim Burton right there...

;)

this thing in the middle of the week has me all messed up...

all of us here today...

DH working tomorrow...

Craig working Saturday and Sunday...

throws a wrench in the calendar in my head...

which isn't all that accurate anyway...

sure felt like a Saturday to me...

I wonder what Saturday's going to feel like...

the oldest son and his girlfriend will be here on Saturday to eat...

not sure if its dinner or supper, so need to check on that...

so hope you had a good 4th...

ours was...

well, except for the cop and the flashlight...

but at least it didn't end up with me in handcuffs...

so its all good here...

;)

its official...

our college graduate is the next Walmart cart pusher!

woo hoo!

thank you for all your prayers...

got the call a few minutes ago...

he goes in from 8-5 tomorrow for orientation...

they told him he would be working evenings and weekends when he is trained...

that shouldn't take long to do...

right?

;)

I will post a photo of him later in his walmart gear...

another overcast day...

but, do far...

no rain...

flash flood warnings south of here...

need prayers for Craig, again...

he has his 3rd job interview this afternoon, so pretty sure he has the job...

they will send him to get a drug screening done...

and then he should be employed...

I am going to nap away this sinus headache while he is gone...

y'all have a good day!

;)

another job...done...

the dreaded junk pile...

before...........and after...

this is what you see from the road...

before..............and after...

what's behind it all...

and no snakes!

I was delighted and surprised...

the wagon is full of wood for the fire pit...

and we don't need the dog cat house until fall...

there used to be a shed out here...

but in one of those fun, wild storms...

it landed in the field one winter...

and that's all there was to that...

got up this morning and this guy was mad...

not much feed out there...

so, on the way to the pile, we stopped and loaded them up again...

it drizzled right before we headed out, but it soon quit...

my online weather source said the rain would be coming in around 2pm...

they lied...

its raining in this shot...

this belonged to my father in law...

a coaster bike...

going to strip all the 'new' gadgets off of it and paint it pink...

we pitched a lot of junk...

trimmed trees, raked and did a general clean up...

and the rain got harder, so we came in, got showers and ate lunch...

as soon as I got out of the shower...

the sun came out...

of course...

just took a walk and we have bean greens...

and day lilies...

and the next generation of bean greens...

this one is big enough to pick...

rose of sharon is budding...

and we have been cleaning inside...

laundry...

and playing with babies...

on hard food and water now...

and they are cranky...

but they get over it and play and run around...

I am heading in to take a nap soon...

DH is already there...

I am pretty sure Craig will follow, too...

its still in the 70s here...

baby tomatoes...

it won't be long until we are eating as much as we want of these...

everything is pretty wet...

we got half an inch of rain yesterday...

and then more this morning...

and the junk will leave in the morning...

and that's how we do Sundays on the prairie...

get it done so we can lie around...

have a good one!

;)
