Today

Today Myk worked for Dave again. We almost see him more, hear from him more and get more work out of him since he "moved out". Anyway Dave is putting up new lattice under the deck so Myk helped a lot with the digging part which made the rest go much faster.

Then Tanya and the girls came over. Adrianna is mobile now. Not walking, but getting around. She had a blast in the dog water bowl. And here is a picture of her with her sister. We had a nice little visit.

If Only

I come from a long line of gardeners. Now granted my ancestors did so out of need, but still.....my great-grandmother was way before her time. She was drinking green tea in the 70's and taking extra vitamins. She had two gardens besides flowerbeds. They drank organic milk from the cows they raised and ate the rabbits that they grew. Everything that I am reading about what is good for us is what she did. Her daughter, my grandmother also had a garden and raised chickens. I look back on what I remember and think it is too bad that I didn't develop my own gardening interest while they were still alive. All that information lost. So here I am following in their footsteps, but having to reinvent my own wheel.

Garden Update

As you can see it still grows. We are still just eating spinach and lettuce. But it won't be long and we will have zuchini. There are at least four baby zuchini on the plant. :)

Neighbor's Cows

So my neighbor raises cows. And here is a picture of the ones he has now. The other day I returned home to my husband telling me I had missed the excitement. The cows had escaped. Cars were honking at them and that spooked them. They came up our place and then crossed several pieces of property with my husband following them. He tried to call the neighbor, but no one was answering. Finally he was tired of following the cows so he went over to the neighbor's house and pounded on the door. After several minutes of pounding someone finally woke up and they went and retrieved the cows.

How They Escaped

We have been wondering for a couple of days how they escaped. Tonight I was taking the camera down to take pictures of the garden and lo and behold look what I saw. The fence is not fastened. Lucky that they hadn't escaped again since then. And yes, we locked the gate.

The Coolest Thing

I have the coolest car and it does the coolest thing. I knew about this when I bought it, but had forgotten. When you unlock the car with the fob and then hold the unlock button down it also rolls down the windows. This is a great feature when we are having nice warm summery weather like today. The hot car air is already being released before I get in. Got to love the Mini.

A Quiet Week

I had forgotten how nice it was to NOT have to run all over the county. I go to work, I come home, and stay there. I like it.
I did see Myk briefly today. He has not turned himself in on his warrant. Says he intends to on Monday. Actions speak louder than words at this point in time. He looks good and not like he has done nothing but party the last week. So I guess that is good. I just hope he takes care of his legal business soon, but I have no control over that. He did say he had called his PO and his attorney today, so he is touching base there.
