Back To Reality

We got back to business today with chores around the house. In the middle of the day, this happened... The helicopters were taking water from our friends pond up the road. I think they dumped 4 "buckets". The Boreaids (sp?) were flying around but luckily didn't drop. That would have been nasty.
The fire ruined a home and spread halfway up the hill toward another in about 10 minutes.
We could see the flames from our street- very scary!! Luckily the fire crews responded quickly and no more damage was done.
On to less depressing Friday news:-)
We worked in the yard a little, had popsicles on the front patio and tended the garden.
It's rewarding to watch the front yard grow.
We've had butterflies on the purple flowering plants which is great for the boys. They are easily entertained by wildlife.

Kicking Back

This is our third round of Anaheim's
One of our two plants usually has 10-12 at a time


Checking out the tomatoes

Our one and only watermelon is about the size of a lime- it's so cute!


Our Edamame is just about ready!




Cheesy!!!
