My son bought a prickly pear cactus at a yard sale.  Today it has flowers, and they're quite pretty.

We are starting to have an abundance of bunnies in the yard.

This morning definitely looked like summer.

The squash has quite a few coming on but they're not getting big yet.

The fish pond is ready.  The fish seem to like the new shallow area, and it makes it easier to see them.

On Saturday we got the gardens weeded and tilled.  We haven't had much rain but I guess it's just enough to keep them from getting wilty.

My niece got married today.

There was a bright sunspot this evening.

Some grass is growing in the new patch, but I think it's just what was already around.  I can see some of the new seeds growing though.

The steps were placed in the pool today.

We milled out a design for my niece's wedding coming up.  I based it on a photo of the proposal.

The potatoes are looking good even though it's been dry.

Somebody's sheep got loose.

I took another set of photos of my daughter.  I needed one with this background to match ones I have of the boys.

I got some mulch done and flowers planted this weekend.

We got the solar cover back on the pool.

I've got a couple little tomatoes already.  I lost track of what plants went where, but this looks like the amish paste tomato.

The blueberries have a lot of berries so we have them covered.

Some kill deer built a nest in the middle of our new clover field.  We worked around it the other day and now there is a second egg.

My daughter had an overnight gathering for her college.  I asked her to send a photo of her dorm room so I included that below.  It's awfully small- no wonder there's always students wandering around town.

We planted the new clover patch today.  The dirt is really dry right now so raking the seeds in with a chain link fence made a lot of dust.  Rain is coming though.
