Enjoying Warm Weather

The weather has been beautiful and we have been enjoying all the warm weather and being outside. Jason has been very busy getting the wood cut and ready for the swing set. Yes, the famous swing set!
Here are a few pictures of the huge pay loader that came last Saturday to help Jason get that really big white oak up (see picture from a few posts ago) We are very fortunate to know Gary, Ben calls him Gawee (so cute), and he brought over his rig and gave Jason a HUGE hand.




Katie and I have been busy planting some new flowers. Jason and I celebrated our
10th Anniversary. I bought us a Butterfly Bush. I've wanted one for a few years. I thought it would be sentimental to watch it grow as we continue to grow in our marriage.
Katie and Ben helped me dig the hole and while I was doing that, I got in the mood to do some serious gardening. So, I said, hmm I wonder what all these rocks are that are peeking out of the grass that border the flower bed in the back garden (The ones in front of the rock wall/porch). I started to dig and found beautiful rocks! I dug some more. I asked Walter to come outside and asked him. Well he said there was a rock path going all the way around that he had made for Gram but the grass grew over it. I was so excited! So I kept digging. I'm almost done. It looks lovely so far.



The kids keep finding a toad in our yard. They've named him Brownie. They've caught Brownie 3 times now. Lucky toad. He's gotten to go to Katie's class and to her friends house. They keep him in a habitat and teach him tricks! Yes tricks. They spin him on a sand toy, they put him in Ben's truck...I'll stop there.



Katie and her Brownie troop were in the town's Memorial Day parade. It was a beautiful day.
