With all our strawberries, we made yummy popsicles and jam!

ACR at the Bristol Pocock Festival (where Bob helped by watching J.  This of course was a picturesque calm moment.  But the gravel marks on his head reveal the more rockus moments.  They got silly on the swings, ending up with a head-first dive onto the rocks.  Bob stepped right up and cuddled Joseph for a minute while I got ice, and in no time J was right back on the swings.)

Hangin’ at the beach.  Can’t wait to be back there!!!!!

I’ve been playing with plants a lot lately, though not all is success.  My garden is pretty lame, but I hold on to hope.  Today I found a baby rabbit in there, so that probably isn’t helping things.  However it was pretty fun to see the little guy.  Joseph and I watched him for a long time and I even got to touch him!

Hmmmm . . . Maybe next year my little helper wont be naked all the time? Doubt it.

I LOVE my geraniums!  They are my first real potted flowers.  They were a gift (thanks Debbie) and very well chosen.  They are marked as deer resistant and I think that they are also rabbit, goat, and chicken resistant, which is very important around here!

 I repotted most of my indoor plants and tried to get a little creative.  I put the cactus (gift from the other Debi!) in a cool yard sale find, and a rosemary plant in a mason jar.  Brad thinks I’m crazy, but I found it entertaining.

We also have some plants on our parch, which is quite fun.  For the first time we have strawberries and enjoy them every day right now ;-)

That;s real nice, Ruth, I'm sorry for knocking him on his head, and they're 'geraniums,' not 'hydrangeas,' (though somebody ought to give you some of them, too.
