Last day of Spring 6-20

Loving this weather though the heat gets me when I work in it for too long.  I was mowing today so Larry wouldn't have to, he had another project he was needing to get done, so while Seth was splashing in the kiddie pool I mowed the flatter areas but I was soon out of shade.  I was resting when Larry came back from town with an iced latte....ah, so thoughtful and refreshing, it certainly hit the spot and gave me another burst so I did some more mowing.

Seth was outside all day, I was too mostly except to fix dinner, he rode his bike all over the place, mapped mole holes (don't ask), played in the water...oh, we were inside when it was hottest playing Wii Fit.  The things we don't do to entertain our grandkids...I'm hula hooping and ski jumping to help him open up another game level.

Double Delight...smells yummy

After baths and showers we sat outside after 9:30 to watch the stars come out and the jets lights move through the night sky.  We are hoping to have more energy for staying out later when the sky is black dark for more stargazing.later this week when we have these pressing projects finished and we can just hang with the boy.

I'm hoping to pry my carcass out of bed around 5 in the morning to get some yard work done while its cool and Seth the nonstop is still asleep.  It will be the best time to swab out some of the dirt and grime that seems to follow kids like a cloud :)

Still warm as I type...70 and still....gotta get to bed.

Oh, I almost forgot, while I was cooking dinner Larry and Seth saw the fox trotting along the perimeter of our place.  Seth was excited and so was Larry as far as that goes.  The woodpecker babies are really noisy now and the parents very seldom go inside the tree...the babes sound like pterodactyls when the food gets delivered.

/the poppy petals are breaking out!

I don't think there is a flower more summery than poppies.  They look so delicate waving in the wind.

Decided to put the pool in the garden so a deer wouldn't decide to trounce through it.
