You Wascally Wabbit!

Quit stalking our garden!!! You are too cute!

In Our Backyard

Look what's happening in our apple tree! Momma and Poppa knew what they were in for when they picked a tree in our backyard, and so far they have been quite tolerant of the kids and dog.

I didn't know squash had a flower? I think it is a squash plant..?

Isn't it looking good? Kevin weeded a lot today, and it looks so nice! I can't wait until it is filled up with veggies.

Finally we went to see Star Trek. Thanks Melissa and Derek for watching the kids. We had a great time. The movie is great. I knew Kevin would like it because in the beginning there is a scene where young Spock is being quizzed on mathematical equations!

Live Long & Prosper!

FYI: Spock was being quizzed on the volume of a sphere...

Random Thoughts

Things are growing in the garden!

Can't wait to eat fresh tomatoes! There is nothing like a home grown one!

This little bugger is trying to foil our garden efforts. He stalks the garden. We can be several feet away, and he will still watch our garden and plot ways to bypass the fence. I don't know much about rabbits, but I don't think he is too bright. He will run at the garden , jump into the little fence around it, and then fall down. He keeps doing this. I would think he would try to squeeze under it, but I guess that idea hasn't occurred to him yet. He is very cute, but I really don't want to share our garden with him. So, we planted a habanero plant, and we will cut some peppers up and surround the perimeter of the garden with them. I hope it helps.

I finished The Kite Runner.
It is a good book, but the ending was a little convenient and somewhat predictable. All in all, a good read. Now I am reading Jimmy Carter's The Virtues of Aging.

oh, and finally....

Another self portrait of Mimi. Here she is "fixing a hard drive" The dots are the "pwoblems on the hard drive." She is replacing the problems with zeros and ones. Isn't this great? :)

Have a fun week!

This Gasbag on the Airwaves Scares Me

Busted!

I'm always asking " Where is the camera? Who took these pictures??" Finally, my suspicions have been confirmed. I recognize the reflection in the monitor! I showed this to Mimi, and she told me she thinks it is Moe! :)

Weekends Go at Warp Speed

Weekends go by so quickly! I look forward to them all week, and then suddenly it is Sunday evening and I am hopeful and excited about the week ahead. We played outside a lot. We worked on the garden too.

Moe, in his big red car, had a lot of fun driving around.

I am trying to keep my pact with you, Amanda, to wear a skirt at least once a week. It has been a nice change from my usual tee and shorts. Crocs? Well, a girl has to be comfy....

The kids and Kevin had a tea party in the play house. They invited me in, but I was enjoying watching them and taking pics. The red roof makes the lighting neat.

And, finally, look! The garden is growing. For awhile I was concerned we would have tomatoes and maple trees. But, it appears there is life! We have yet to see any sign of green or red peppers, but I am hopeful. Next year, I think we will start the seeds in advance.

Oh, for you book readers...I tried to read Twilight. I got to page 9. I told my friend Adrienne it sucks, and she replied:
irony = a vampire book that sucks.
I laughed so hard I almost cried. Oh!

I did start Kite Runner. And I am completely taken in by it.

Have a great week!
