West Virginia Cuties
We just returned from a fun-filled week visiting friends and family in West Virginia. One of the evenings, my cousin hosted a nice cookout for my best friends and our families. I got the kids together for a few photos once the sun started setting.
Everyone had a good time playing together and I can't wait until we see each other again!

Not so wee garden...
Our little garden has been keeping me busy this summer. Click here for a comparison from when I planted it on March 22. The fish or fish sticks or tomato food or covering these babies during frost or maybe a combo of all has really paid off.
The remaining photos were taken July 6.

| More May 10 beauties. Just waiting.... |
 |
| This bounty was posted to fb on June 22. We had a few previous harvests, as well. Lots of friends gave great suggestions for freezing and stewing and the like. And we have given to neighbors, friends, and family. Go, fish sticks! |
 |
| Every day, I can pluck 4-5 ripe beauties off of these plants. |

| Dora is glaring at me because the sun is in her eyes. I made her pose by the drooping sunflowers. |

Animal Ninjas. "You can't see me!"
Some animals are better than others when it comes to hiding in our yard. The leezurd shots were taken May 10 and the others were snapped May 26.

July 4, 2014
This year we did the usual fireworks in our street, but then decided to brave Sandhills for the first time ever to be right under all the big firework display action. The weather was perfect and the fireworks were great, but the crowd/traffic was a little crazy, so we might rethink next year's plan.
