This Week

Here are some pictures of this week.

Drying garlic hanging in the garage.

The cucumbers

The apples on our tree

The morning glories by the garden fence

Melissa's herb garden. She has some thyme, rosemary, and lavender plants, with basil, parsley, dill, green onions, and chives planted.

The other garden with eggplant, marigold, rosemary, and tomatoes.

My iris, and portulaca and other plants.

Clara went horseback riding with her Girl Scout troop. She was a cowgirl.

On Monday Clara and Mom went horseback riding with Clara's Girl Scout troop. They both had a great time.

They had some goats at the horse ranch, and they sounded pretty funny. Mom lost her chapstick, and here's the story about it.

Paula: I think I dropped my chapstick, beacuse I can't find it.

Diane: I really think one of the goats ate it, because I saw one choking a little while ago.

Mom found her chapstick though. She had had a hole in her pocket.

Tonight we were watching Fiddler on the Roof. It's a great movie. I like all the songs. Mom knows all the words because there was a school play when she was in high school.

Tonight Melissa made lavender cookies and lavender lemonade. They were really good. The lavender gives the lemonade a really nice flavor. She used the lavender that she is growing in her garden.

On Sunday Melissa had a Chicago Roundup dinner thing with her church choir, to raise money for the missions trip they are going on this summer.

Also on Sunday we were able to visit with some friends who had moved away, but were able to come back for a little while. It was nice to see them.

It's late, almost 10. I need to get off the computer.
