It is bike season! The hill up to our house is just too much after a long bike ride...mama and papa have the bikes behind the kids!
Skis anyone? If interested, please refer to craigslist.madison! You know you want that 80s look!!!
Poppy and I walked to Sol's school to pick him up and on our way home we saw:
a sandhill crane
a heron
on Tiedeman's pond walkway
Poppy plays with her wooden magnetic dolls often - dreaming and designing!
Our rhubarb harvest! Just planted last year, thanks Chip and Nan for the farmer's market plant!, and this year got enough to make a batch of rhubarb sauce.
Some of poppy's new summer duds.
Our lunch on the deck....and most importantly, on the Duke's of Hazzard serving tray!
Poppy draws these little Mr. Potato Head-like characters...body, arms, hands, legs, feet and smiley face!
One worn out little girlie!
Some of the things in our yard that I am able to identify and am very excited about.
Hopefully I am able to use my new found knowledge from the Master Gardeners Program in our yard. Only 6 classes left then all my 36 volunteer hours in the next year. Exciting! I am loving being in a class and learning such great tools.

Your yard looks great! We are about a week or so behind you with the peonies...can't wait for those to pop out. Love the bikes, and birds, and new clothes, and old dukes trays, and fun, fun activities! You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I love the one of Poppy with her magnetic dolls....I was so that kind of little girl :)
