Happy 4th of July!


Happy 4th of July!  We had a busy day yesterday, so today it's all about getting outside stuff done early and relaxing indoors with the AC.  It'll be a dozie of a hot one today.

We took a nice weather motorcycle ride with friends, ate somewhere new (new town), and ended the evening at another graduation party that was also his send off (military) party.  Another family member is going in the marines.

There were no fireworks to see off the front porch last night, but we may see some tonight.  It's always nice to watch them from our own comfortable home.

Have a wonderful Sunday today!  I  know we won't be doing too  much with the heat returning.  I am going to plant my cherry bomb plants today.  I'm sure they'll love the heat too.

Apple Trees ~ Handiwork ~ Radishes!

 

Our apple trees have apples this year.  However, we need to get the tree baffles made very soon or the raccoons will strip the trees.

We are having some fantastic weather lately.  I got more weeding done and more crafting time carved into my days.


I have been working on crocheted water balloons.  I have located these colors so far.  They are eco-friendly and re-useable and washable.  No mess to pick up on a hot outdoor fun day.


 

Finally!  We haven't had these bad boys since 2019.  2020 was a wash out due to a very dry season.  Of course these are up much later than usual, but we are getting them.
