Two of our granddaughters

Lately, I have used my phone for taking pictures, and I have yet to figure out to upload them to the online Picasa site and then transfer them to the blog - there must be way. Anyway, here is one picture from my camera. Natalie is 21 months old and Lydia is 6 months this week. They are both very busy little girls and full of fun!

Grandchildrens flower bed

I took this picture about a week ago. The pink Phlox has more blooms now as does the Lily on the right. Even the pansies are larger and pretty. I would like to add another flower box around the corner on the west side of this same building. Maybe yet this summer we can do that job. This is the 4th of July weekend - we plan to attend the Hoesly/Thompson/Chepil picnic and fireworks. Happy 4th to all!

Emma's swing

Last weekend, Lynn and I purchased a pick up load of mulch for the swing set and around bushes in the yard. We have had this swing set of Emma's for two summers now. When they made the move from New Richmond to Marshfield, they could not take any of the yard items. It was very difficult to mow around the set especially under the slide, so Lynn frame it all in, laid down plastic, and then added the mulch. It gives it such a nice finished look and will be nice for the kids when they come.
