Tyler Lee Fahrendholz



When Tyler was little he had a thing for carving or scratching or writing his initials on things. He scratched them on a car once (good thing we drive junkers) and when confronted he was indignant--why did we think he did it? He carved them in a dresser and in the logs our house is made of. The other day I was in my craft room which used to be occupied by the kids and I saw this...initials of Tyler Lee done in glue from a glue gun. Shows just how observant I am! I've always wondered why there is a hardened spot of something on the carpet..drippings no doubt. I suppose when you are one of four, you must leave your mark somehow.

Grafton Before...

Grafton gets really warm in the summer and pants continually, which is really annoying. We decided to shave him and hopefully cool him down. This is him before his pitiful haircut. I will post one of him now..later.

Hope


Hope and her mom came for a sleep-over last Friday night. She and I and the 3 dogs went for a 2 mile walk in the woods. We also had a lesson on how to make cream puffs and I taught Melanie how to sew a summer dress for Hope. It was Home-Ec. weekend.

Look at this large hummingbird


I hung up an Oriole feeder and hummingbird feeders. Of course, the Orioles prefer the wrong one, sometimes hanging upside down to get a drink.

Mushrooms



It was a good year for Morel mushrooms. In 2 days Trevor and his friend found many pounds.

Ollie


The granddog, Oliver came roofing this weekend. He wasn't much help, but an enjoyable presence.
