Okay, I've realized that my blog is not going to be as exciting as all of your blogs...but I decided I needed to give you all a taste of summer home life that I know you are all missing. I know you are all wishing you were home to hang out in the backyard so I thought I would bring the backyard to you. I'll try to explain what some of these pictures are. At the top we cut out a border along the back fence this year. It's a work in progress...but it's coming along. We planted a few flowers, some garden stuff. I like the change and it makes it a whole lot easier to mow. Just a pic to let you know how my flowers are doing. Ila is anxious to come and help me water. I just need to find her watering can! Check out dads mower, we go him the bag attachment this year. Wow, that makes it so nice. Even I can do it. Not that he lets me to much, I think he enjoys mowing the lawn now. Dads garden is doing pretty good. Nice tomato plants, huh? And look at my sunflowers. I planted some seeds over by the pool but they didn't come up. However there were some volunteers from last year, this time I have 8 growing. I love it! And theres a picture of our new patio cover. That was a big project but we are very happy with it. I think it looks great! So, that's kind of what we have been up to. I hope you enjoy having a slice of summer from us. We miss you all and wish you were all here splashing and having a great time. Life is good to us and we are so blessed! We love you all!
