I found a nest in our grapevine.  There aren't any eggs yet, but there was an unhappy robin chirping at me, so I'm guessing this is hers.

Our hayfield hasn't been cut yet.  It's looking very healthy this year, including the weeds.  But that's OK, some of those weeds are pretty flowers.

My garlic is getting flowers.

The R.C. plane club across the street had their night flight today.

My husband got some gravel to go around the pool and in my herb garden path.

My husband learned how to make strawberry jam.

My husband and I were outside and the dog walked by a bush near our fence.  Baby finches hopped out of their nest to the ground, so we gathered them up and put them under a bigger tree on the other side of the fence from the dog.

It's one of those days when storms keep rolling through.  They weren't real bad, but it has been kind of nice to not need to water the garden.

We had a big graduation party today for my oldest and niece.  It was hot, but it only rained for a few minutes.  We got to see lots of people we don't see often enough.

I bought some cute little drawing boards.  One side has a chalkboard, and the other is dry-erase.  My son wrote some information on them for the graduation party.

I put my son to work painting a wall in the bathroom.

I needed my canning jar back, so  my husband had to remove his collection of squishy stress balls.  They made an amusing 'thoop' sound every time he pulled one out of the jar.

When the camper is in the barn, I keep thinking we should have made the barn bigger.  But when the camper is out, I look around and think wow, this is a big barn.

My husband has been working on a wood fence.

June 3, 2016

My parents came over and helped spread mulch.  I haven't had mulch in the back yard for about 8 years, since the dog would always just dig it back up.  She's elderly now and doesn't dig quite as much.  I'm not expecting it all to stay in place for the entire summer though, just hopefully long enough for my son's graduation party.

We got the pool cleaned out and began filling it.

We got the hallway sanded and ready for tape.

I've been working on putting in an herb garden.  It still needs something on the path.  I've been working hard on using up the pile of stones we've been collecting from the gardens and digging the pool and barn.

They make such cute hats for little girls, but little girls like my niece leave them on for about 3 seconds.  You have to be fast to snap a photo with the hat still on!
