Around the Yard

I took some pictures around the yard about a month ago. It's neat to look back and see how everything has grown & changed. Soon I'll post updated pics and you can see the changes for yourselves. =0)

Surprise lilies.

When we looked at the house last fall these had gone by so we didn't know they were here. What a nice surprise to have them pop up & bloom! We also had pink ones. So pretty!

I love going out in the yard, seeing the progress & relaxing in the outdoors.

Happy & Sad

I am both happy & sad when I see this photo. Happy to see our little garden growing big and the grass filling in where needed & sad because I dearly miss our large garden. If you look closely you can see the outline of it.

Growing, Growing, Growing!

Pool Fun!

Last Monday was a sticky, drippy humid day. We had planned on visiting a local lake to swim once we put in a full days work on the house. It didn't happen. The van's ignition switch decided to go and instead of driving to the lake we drove to the local dealership to have it repaired. Because the part was a state away and it was late in the day we had to wait until Wed. afternoon to get it back. Thankfully the part was covered by our warranty we bought. I have praised the Lord over & over again for prompting us to purchase that! It has saved us a bundle so far.
Anyway, since we couldn't head to the lake we opted for our little pool. The kids were happy with the cold water and had such fun jumping, goofing off & entertaining us. It was a nice way to end their day. I say 'their day' b/c Dave and I went back to work after that and continued on into the late hours. Here are some pics of the fun!
