Wrapping up July

Well, when the temperatures dropped to the high and low 80's, we felt chilly!! This has been a mostly very hot July, but it has been cooling down pretty well at night, 60's and 70's. This is tolerable, but thank God I insisted on our three air conditioning units in 2007!! We have been home most of July, except our visit to the kids, doctors, dentists and Audrey and Corey's baby shower barbeque, which was very nice and great to see everyone on that side of the family! We harvested cherries, garlic and pretty soon the apricots will be ready. Watering and gardening in the early morning hours, then spending the rest of the day inside, doing projects, but mostly, getting myself lined up to finally get started on Dionne/Amya's scrapbook!! A pretty non-eventful July. Our new TV and Blue-Ray DVD is finally all hooked up and so I re-activated Netflix. Oh, what a pleasure to watch movies now. We usually watch a movie every night...what else do you do for entertainment around here. However, it is just a beautiful time of year and this year, I am more than pleased with the beauty of my garden. Back in August.

What a sunset

My Hollyhocks have a great view!

Hummers are a plenty as usual!

These beautiful orange butterflies love my Purple Cone Flowers

Quality Time with Grandpa

Rock and I had a wonderful visit with the Irvins. Saw Sue and Cliff Friday night at Lisa and John's house for a barbeque and fun in the sum. On Saturday we all went to Audrey's baby shower and barbeque. It was nice to see Stan and Karen and everyone. It was a wonderful warm and sunny weekend so there was tons of fun in the sun. Rock hadn't seen Amya since Susan's party in June so we made sure he had tons of quality time with her. We also babysat while Dionne and Brian went to their scuba diving class. We left Rock alone with Amya so Dionne and I were able to do some shopping!! Brian worked all weekend so we didn't get to see him much, but next time in Idaho we will make up for it. Of course, Amya is amazing. So darn cute, saying quite a few words now and putting at least two words together. She really is a talker, hmmmmm....I wonder who she takes after! See you for our Idaho hoot Irvins. Thanks for having us.
