Pictures from last night....



Last nights sunset for you.....and the firepit we sat by for the evening....well, the fire as we left it when we came inside at the end of the evening....it gets dark here at 11pm now...

I love our firepit. It was the first thing we created when we moved here - the last people who lived here just had a burn can or whatever people call them...a rusty old can they burned things in...so we created a big circle of rocks that we placed our old patio furniture around and we spend many evenings sat around our fire pit having fires out there...we cook out there - potatoes and sausages and smores......and we have friends over and sit round there.....I love it :) We often sit around and listen to the coyotes running up on the next field :)

I took a couple of days off....

And I got told off lol.....yep I didn't blog for a couple of days and got a few emails telling me to blog for goodness sake!!!! :) Well it's nice to be missed :) Thank you!

I'm ok! Lloyd took Thursday off of work, which I think I REALLY needed. Actually, yes, that is EXACTLY what I needed and I felt tons better after that! He stayed home mainly because that nasty flooring guy came back to put the new flooring down in the mudroom and the laundry room and bathroom. He did a great job but I didn't want to be here alone with him after last time. He scared me. Remember how he completely lost it and started shouting at me on the porch? So Lloyd stayed home for that but to be honest I think I just needed a day with Lloyd anyway. I just needed to stay home and have Lloyd home. And thats what we did. When he's with me all is right with my little part of the world. We switched off the computer and the tv and we spent the time outside - I cut the front paddock grass with Bertha (the tractor) and it is starting to look like its part of the lawn - we think by the end of Summer you won't be able to tell that it wasn't always a part of the rest of the lawn - so next year it should look like we have a HUGE front lawn :)

What else? What else? I've been hibernating at home with the kids and gardening - weeding mainly....planting, cutting more and more grass....and we've been getting rid of the front flower beds - I've been moving all my Shasta daisies....my Hostas...more day lilies.....haven't moved my Peony yet....

Oh I did do a lot of running around town yesterday for Fathers Day gifts for Lloyd - and then Sam told Lloyd what his main gift was - he said (in front of Lloyd 'Mommy do you remember that humungous gift we got for Daddy at Home Depot'? And of course there was only one big thing from Home Depot Lloyd really wanted......sigh.....

How do you spell humungous????? is that even a word?????

We had a lovely fire in the fire pit last night.......

Susie went to a birthday dinner and movies with a friend last night.....they went to the friends home for dinner and when the parents wanted to smoke they would ask the children to leave the house......can you believe that???? Now I know some parents who go outside to smoke so as not to smoke around their children....but these parents get their children to go outside so they can smoke inside!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! Can you believe that?????

Susannah couldn't believe it!!!

Lloyd is out riding Bertha....Gawd he looks sexy out there :) Maybe I have a thing for farmers lol! All he needs is a piece of straw hanging from his mouth lol! I want him!

Laurie slept over at his friend Chris's last night......he's cycling home this afternoon.

Chris slept over at his friend Josh's last night.....

Lloyd and I were out by the fire until late last night...Sam and Abby were with us....Susie didn't get back until way past 11pm.....so it was late nights all around and we are all tired today!

We ran into town today to Home Depot as Lloyd wanted to plumb in the new sink and toilet for the main floor bathroom today.....yay we have a mainfloor bathroom in time for the workmen to arrive :) and as we only had three children with us, we went for brunch at Smittys :)

Thats my day :) So so tired....so so fed up with this crappy weather for June - glad its dry and not raining but where is the heat.....I know 18 is ok but where are the 25c temps we normally get????? I want some HEAT please!!!!!!

Twister workout!




Sam and Abby playing Twister and getting a workout with it - funny to watch :) As you can tell by Sams muddy face this was after an afternoon of digging outside :)
