One of Isaac's birthday gifts from several years ago continues to be fun for both
him and the grandkids, They spent the day with us today and since the weather
was "milder", it was a good day to set it off.
You can actually see the bottle launching in the following photo!
I was right. Yesterday morning we woke up to a lot of wind, and the blossoms were
flying through the air like a snow shower!
Isaac and Joshua finished up the majority of the garage work - at least enough to park
the truck back inside. They still have a metal shelf to paint, but we need to
get another gallon before that can be finished.
The good green first:
Everything is so lovely outside! Trees are budding out and the grass is green!
I have no idea what kind of tree this is, but it smells heavenly and is loaded with
white blossoms. We are supposed to get some strong winds this week which will
probably blow the blossoms to smithereens!
The grass is greening up everywhere, although we will need to fill in some bare
spots with grass seed.
We also have several Fairy Rings in the yard, which I learned about from Google.
"Abnormal turf growth where there are high levels of organic matter."
Very odd. The three that we have are only in the front yard.
Now, for the bad green:
A previous owner must have gotten a really great deal on an obnoxious color of green paint.
The entire garage interior was painted with it, as well as several walls in the laundry room.
The boys have started on the much needed paint job and it looks so much better!
It looks so much better with a new coat of paint! Great job, boys!
Isaac is 17 today! How can this be?
We celebrated him a good part of the day and ending up watching a movie
of his choice:
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ISAAC!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Part of being an adult is enjoying new appliances.
I loved getting our new stove installed today.
He is risen indeed!
We had a wonderful church service this morning, followed by a brunch
put on by the youth.
Later in the day, we had steaks on the grill along with sweet potatoes.
Joshua is becoming a master at grilling!
We made a trip to the library the other day. The weather was gorgeous, and knowing that
rain was expected at the end of the week, we made it part of our homeschooling day.
Our youngest granddaughter, enjoying a matching game on the computer!
It's such an old computer I'm surprised it still works!
Rachel's family came over for a day and it was so nice that we grilled out!
Joe and Courtney went to Wymore where his mom, Janet Moore, is buried.
It was truly a walk down memory lane.
They visited with the owner who has beautifully maintained the farmhouse and property.
Joe's grandparents would be so pleased!
Love this daughter of ours who made me a mom!
See you at the wedding!
The weather continues to be dry and in the 60*s.
The boys were more than happy to put on shorts and give my truck a nice wash!
THANKS, GUYS!!
