HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

This morning has so far started out good. We might be in for some rain today along with thundershowers, but that's good for me. I went outside and was so happy to see my daylilles open finally.

I also wanted to show you the homemade slippers and summer pants that my doodlebug got finally.

I was going to have him model his other pants but he had other thoughts! I can't believe how big he is getting and he isn't even two yet.

As for the rest of the day, I have a couple things planned. I want to till up more of the front yard area along the fence line. I am trying to get a long planter bed going so that I can plants some ornamental grasses, lupine, peonies, and whatever else I can get from seed or starts from my other neighbors. Everyone around here is willing to give you starts of things.

The one other thing that is a must for today, since it is the fourth of July, is to write a letter to the five gentlemen in our town that are over in Iraq. Our post office has their pictures up along with addresses of how to write to them and send them goodies. I found some patriotic cards and will send those along with what is going on here in town. As for our Idea for Christmas, since we are only buying for all the kids this year, we will be sending these guys boxes of things that they might like to have.

I do not know these guys that are over there, but feel that it's the least I can do. If they feel their families need help here in town, we will see what can be done. I LOVE living in a small town!

Will talk to you later.
