My Girls Will Be Cool

Eric and Laura's pool is finally getting finished. Still lacks some work but the girls are using it already.

Clothes For Greta Ann

Penney's had a big sale. I bought Greta Ann some new clothes. Clayton has a lot of clothes but little Greta has only a few.

Blueberries

Larry bought blueberries from a blueberry farmer here. I made pie and it was so good!!!

Planted Peas Yesterday

I planted peas July 20. This will be a record so I can remember the day. I have turnips, mustard, etc. to plant and will get it done by weekend.

Dr. Ralph Stanley

I like Dr. Ralph Stanley's Man of Constant Sorrow, Sister! Listen to it.

And Great Grandma Makes Four

This is my girl's great Grandmother. I can see her a little in Astrid. Can you? BTW Grandma is 85.

Flower Garden Ornaments

This is the bird wind chime I got from Erin and Greg and Clayton for my birthday. I bought the tree cross and welcome sign at Hobby Lobby.
There are Suprise Lilies around the tree in one of my flower beds. I knew they were there, but when they pop up and bloom they are a pleasant surprise anyway.
I like this pink moss and just bought one little pot. Sisters do you remember Momma having it in that washer in the front yard. I remember and I thought it was so pretty.
This is my tree cross.

Bird Feathers

Larry was fishing at Galla Lake and saw the little bird looking for something to eat. He caught it by putting salt on its tail (just kidding). I called Laura to see if Eric and the girls wanted it. Conversation went like this

Larry found a parakeet and I wondered if Eric and the girls wanted it.

Laura says -- No.

I said can I ask Eric.

Laura says -- No, we do not want a bird.

I put it on the feeder and it ate a lot. It was there all evening but this morning it was gone. No feathers around just gone. We don't have cats.

If I were up in Sister country....I might have talked Patsy into taking the little darling. There are no houses near the Lake so I don't know where it came from. Looks like it would have had to come a long ways!

New Bird At My Feeder

Okay, Fleta can not top this bird that was at my feeder today!!! I hope it will stay around here!

Sunset

My summer is setting. Looked on the calendar and in 3 weeks I will be back to work! I have had a good summer. We have accomplished a lot.

Patsy says...........

Sister says my caterpillar is a Hyalophora cecropia caterpillar!

E Gads!!

Larry said this is a caterpillar. It is huge. I got this little measure stick out of my sewing machine so you could see how big it was. I had never noticed what the ruler said until today. I don't remember where I got it but probably have had it since I went to School of the Ozarks in 1968. Momma bought be a singer sewing machine in a case to take to college with me. I made my own clothes. Mostly with no patterns because I did not have enough money to buy patterns.
