We were at the farm today.  My dad took us on a little trip over the hill in the kubota- it's nice to go down into the pasture without risking a heart attack on the walk back up.  These big trucks are still going by fairly often.  This one is one of the smaller ones.

This is a large peace lily we got.

My husband made another wall in the basement, using up scraps of drywall.

I figure this is our last day to go swimming this year.  It's supposed to return to normal fall temperatures soon.

September 25, 2017

It's been in the high 80's for a few days, so we can get another swim or two in before winterizing.

My dad is replacing a few old roofs with tin.

September 23, 2017

While it is technically fall now, the temperature has shot up enough to go swimming for the next few days.

I stepped out to take a picture of the flower this morning, then noticed the huge praying mantis dangling from it's stem.  So I took it's photo, too.

My son made this for his sister... after she missed the bus for the third time this month.

We finally got around to having her birthday party.

We went to the parade today.  At least it's not raining this year.

Mika likes to sit in open windows.

I got the wall painted for my craft room.  We found an old, rusty can of drywall primer to use.  Then found an even older can of ivory paint which is a color we never used at this house, making it over 16 years old.  It was nice and thick, though, and I only had to apply one coat.

It looks like the grapes are ready now.

I don't know how a cat get this comfortable on a hard piece of plastic.
