Robert, the big boy

We took Robert to Springdale for an evaluation yesterday. We got a good report. I have a more hopeful outlook for his future now. The only thing is, the Doctor is not very smart. She did not think he was perfect and Grandma knows he is.

Rain, Rain, Rain!!!!!!!!!!!

We have rain at 6 pm. It started about 10 til 6 and now at 6:20 it is still raining. We have over an inch already, but more importantly, it was 98 at 3:30 today and now it is a wonderful 60 degrees. George was trying to bail hay for Kenneth down at Franks but he got rained out. I am loving it.



See the red and yellow splotch at the edge of Carroll Co. That is me. I am sure it is to Patsy's by now, and it is still raining here.




My first rose of sharon bloom of the season. I kept thinking they should start blooming soon. They are loving the rain also.





And, the wrens have a second brood going. They hatched about a week ago. George kept saying they were nesting again, but I was not sure til this week.

Things are looking rosey.

Hannah and Robert and their mother should be here tomorrow night. Robert has a Doctor's appointment in Springdale Thursday. I will be glad to see the babies.

Happy Father's Day, George and all fathers in our family

For his father's day, I let George work in the garden in the 90 degree sun.



He put cattle panels around the tomatoes. I am going to run string from the old hay bales between the plants but I am going to wait till it is cooler in the evening. And I am going to make him help me.

We are having BBQ pork ribs and potato salad tonight in George's honor. I made the potato salad, but he will have to BBQ the ribs himself.

Happy father's day....




Look at my peaches. I know you are supposed to not let them make the first year, but I did anyway. I have 7 peaches on this one tree. The other peach and the 2 apples did not bloom this year, or at least did not set fruit. This one is named June Gold so they are almost ripe. I hope brother does not come down and eat them while I am at work this week. They are really pretty. I paid $90 for the 4 trees, so that is about $15 per peach. I guess if they live for 20 years, the price per peach will be a better bargain.
