First Month of Summer, 2016!

Here's a few pictures of summer around here . . .

(Pictures of hummingbirds by Timmy, through the window!)

We're keepin' the canoe warm for you, Papa Bob! 

Wish you were here, though!

(The fish are waiting for you to come, too!)

Summer dresses . . .

 and summer hair-do's! 

 Thank you, Valerie, for this new hair-do!!!

 Joe had a bad injury that required emergency services while lumberjacking deep in the woods . . .

(Sounds manly and scary, huh?  Well, actually . . .  he sliced his leg real good on a wheelbarrow bolt, while trying to push his nearly 12 year-old brother, Timmy, in the bucket of a wheelbarrow around in a nearby stand of trees where they were supposed to be picking up little portions of logs that had been cut already a while ago, and just needed to be moved in the wheelbarrow to the edge of the tree-line. But the scar will make for a good story someday! :-)

I'm not sure we've mentioned here before,

that Valerie recently bought herself a horse so that she could ride with her sisters? 

 We're lovin' the deck and gazebo! 

It is perfect for all our summer activities!  



And we have lots and lots more summer activities planned in this last part of July and August and even September!
