Plant life.......




The first blossom from Abigails double cherry - she won two of these at Earth Day last year.....

My Honeysuckle is in the ground....and protected from Charlie....

Our Rhubarb is growing back fast...it will be ready for us to get our second crop soon!

The mud bath.......



This is what my back lawn is like now :( not attractive huh???? But Charlie pig loves th emud and Sam has had great fun running through it all!

The boys....


Chris and his friends cycle off for the evening........

Samsam....





Sam loves that the workmen left their digger here.....

It's piggin' muddy here!!!






Charlie made the most of all the mud the well drillers had left behind...she rolled around in it to cool off from the hot sun today! She isn't very clean any more but she's a lot cooler!!!!

Saturday ramblings.......

Saturday afternoon......this morning Lloyd and I went to Chapters and had coffee in Starbucks while flicking through some kitchen design magazines...we have the architect coming this week so we need ideas!

After that we went to Costco and got some groceries...I got some amazing pumpkin seed and flax seed granola to go in my yoghurts every day.....it's organic too....

When we got back home, we all helped pack the groceries away....then Chris cycled off to his friend Matts house......Susie called Cassie and invited her over to play and she is sleeping over tonight........Lauries friend called and invited him to go to the races tonight at the speedway place near the airport...so he's very excited.....

Chris just got back with a friend who is NOT Matt...actually its his friend that lives at Birch Bay Ranch....his parents manage the camps there....

Lloyd and I planted my honeysuckle and clematis......Lloyd tied a fenc around the trees we planted last week and then we let Charlie out.....Charlie immediately spotted the muddy bog that is the top of the new well and tap....and she dived in and rubbed herself in all the cool mud...its how pigs cool down in the heat...and its HOT today :)

They say by next weekend it will be eraly to mid 30's......THANK GOODNESS for air conditioning!

I've taken some photos that I will upload later....I want to go back outside with Lloyd and enjoy this hot weather :)

Oh and I put my hummingbird feeders out...they recommend you put them up at least 10 days before any hummers are due to come by.....and we will have to change the sugar solution every three days or so......its 1 part sugar to 4 parts water...boil for two minutes and then cool :)

more later!!
