We finally feel as though we can work on our summer to do list. This summer has been super busy. I hope to enjoy the remainder of the summer at a leisurely pace…well, at least a slower pace than what we have been going.

Finally Needing to Beat the Heat

 

We finally had a hot and sunny day after weeks of  dark clouds and rain.

A little water play was requested to cool down.

Sunday Shots

I have been saving my birthday money since November, I thought I wanted a new microwave but the winter was so busy that we never bought one. I am glad we didn’t, I bought a new camera instead. I would rather have photos of my Blessings than a microwave any day. This was a splurge but not an impulse purchase (I’ve been saving this money for months!!)

Fitting In, Really???

I couldn't resist snapping this pic as I walked past this store on Friday afternoon. Fitting in? No thanks, we will continue to grow unique personalities here at our little home on the last frontier.
I edited this post and a picture of my little guy is here that I cannot remove...technology isn't my thing today.
