july 5th here are some pictures of the flowers we have this year and one of our pine tree. my sister, kay, got it from lucky charms cereal and we planted it was just a small little twig. the rabbits got it so many times, that we thought it was a goner. i gave it miracid from miracle grow and put a wire fence around it to keep the rabbits away. then when it started getting bigger we hung lights on it for christmas, now we would need a truck with a basket on to hang the lights!

july 4th


this is our small weber, we downsized the old one was way to big. and it was ready for the garbage. it takes longer to cook on the small one, don't know why!
