What a great 4th of July! The weather was great, not too dry for fireworks. We had a church picnic after the morning service then went to friends' house for hamburgers, desserts, fireworks, and lots of fun. The kids loved every minute of everything! We really take for granted all the freedoms we have. It's a shame that we take them for granted but we do. May we stand up for the Biblical principles that made our nation great! And may we never forget that God gives us the freedom to do so.
We are getting a basket full of tomatoes every morning. I will be freezing them; there are too many to eat before they ruin. I would like to harvest some seed for next year.....let's see if that gets done. The landscaping mood has struck, actually I don't think it ever leaves me. I built the kids a swing set frame coming off of the tree house so I have moved all the swings down the hill. That means that the back yard is open for all kinds of beautiful plants. Of course Bottlebrushes will be the first thing to go into the ground. Lady Banks rose bush flows from one corner of the fence and on another part I have Carolina Jasmine growing hog wild. I would like to plant more Jasmine or some other kind of vine...or both, on the remaing bare part of the fence. In the spring the Lady Banks rose bush and the Azaleas are in bloom at the same time and it is absolutely beautiful! I am also wanting to construct an arbour to cover our picnic table. Not enough hours in the day!
