YARD AND GARDEN

The garden is so wet from all the rain we've had the last few days that I haven't worked in it much. it's growing like crazy though. Pictured below are pumpkin and squash (I think), onions, potatoes, green beans, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes and tomatilloes.


WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

Friday was another quiet day. It's gray and rainy and the kids were content to play on their tablets or watch movies. My eyes and head have been hurting so much I really haven't pushed them to do much else. Hopefully we'll get back into a better structure next week. 

Today we were busier. Doug bought Michael a new microphone that he could use with the stand Michael bought at Goodwill today. The kids set up a bunch of "musical equipment" and put on a concert. They even put out chairs and a sign by the road in hopes of having someone come listen to them.






Doug was out at the garage most of the day working on various projects. Here was working on a chainsaw. Later today he was working on a vehicle for his cousin. 


This evening we're hanging out in our own yard and watching fireworks set off in the neighborhood. We can usually see quite a few from where we are. 

OUT AND ABOUT

This afternoon the kids and I ran errands. We went to two pet stores, Michael's Craft Store, Goodwill, Food Lion (twice), McDonalds, and Family Dollar.
