AHHHHH Summer!!!

John took me out to see his fields where he had planted clover seed.
He plants the seeds with a seed spreader. It's a bag that hangs around his neck and has a handle
that he turns. If he's walking, he has to walk at a pretty good clip so the seed
goes out evenly. Last year he requested that I bring a book and lawn chair and watch
him. Whatever makes a guy happy ;) This year I drove the pickup and he sat in the back
spreading seed. I had a hard time seeing the tire tracks where I had been so it was a hit and
miss scene. That is one happy dog who loves to run thru tall grass with his ears blowing
in the wind!

An older gent John used to work with plants a garden here. He has a green thumb
and we get to eat lots of good produce.

Lake Arbutus

We spent 2 nights camping at Lake Arbutus.
Got a handicap spot right on the lake. We all
took turns making meals..Tyler and Jami
making breakfast egg muffins.

The weather on the lake was ever changing. Little
storms would roll in and minutes later the sun
would reappear. Sat. this was repeated frequently.
Found a pretty place when driving and went back
to climb down and see it close up.

Sister time

I spent 3 days in Amery with my sisters. The North Dakota sister, Pat, had her
daughter, Kelly, with. I always like to find a child to craft with so I taught her how to make a dress.
She says she doesn't dress up so she'll sleep in it. I was very impressed with her
patience and stick-to-ittivness. She did a splendid job!

We had a day in Stillwater doing the shops and eating. I just looked and bought nothing.
It's good fun to be with the girls I grew up with!

Trevor's 21

Trevor turned 21 on the 16th. Once again I must ask....Where did that time go???!!!

My little childrens is all growed up. Trevor-21, Tessa-26, Tanner-19, and Tyler 23

A NEW ADVENTURE

My friend Sheryl has taken up the sport of kayaking and loves it. Whenever I've thot of kayaking, I thot it would be scary and claustrphobic. On Saturday Sheryl planned a day of fun for us and it included the scary sport. She was a good teacher and I loved it!
It was great fun. Now I have to get John in one cuz I know he'd love it. I thot that about snorkeling too---and he hated it. This he'd like.
Sheryl made a delicious picnic supper and then we went to see the play "The Great American Trailer Park Musical" which was at an old church that a couple has renovated ...The Muse Theatre. It was a splendid day!

My new daughter

Several weeks ago Tanner's girlfriend, Penny, was thrown out by the family she knew....along with all her belongings in black garbage bags. She has no relatives in this part of the country and is only 17. I asked if she'd like to live in my craft room. So, motherhood continues. God brought her here for a reason and I'm excited to see what He is going to do! Penny is a sweetheart with a quiet, gentle spirit and she's a joy to have around. She's an artistic person and I have always enjoyed artistic people!

The birds and the bees and the ladybugs

When we went camping I noticed some activity on the top of the camper.....two ladybugs procreating. I had never seen ladybugs do it ;)
