Not a Gardening Post

July is flying by...

We celebrated the 4th (on the 3rd) and then

had a patriotic dessert on the 4th.

Then shipped the boys off to Scout Camp

Sam and Shane had a fun, busy, interesting, hot, dusty, productive week.

Merit Badge Count:

Sam: 9

Shane: 5

Bug Bite Count:

147 each

Mom Blessing Count:

2 Good Scouts + 3 Older Brother Eagle Scouts+ Many Patient Leaders=

Innumerable

I joined them the last evening and they showed me around  Camp Madaguay.

I loved getting the grand tour!

When we all got home, it was time to harvest the corn...

This is a "provident living, self-reliance" highlight.

It just so happens that the corn came from my garden, OK?

I was feeling very grateful to see the fruits of my labor,

especially after I had  to give that up not too long ago.

These were a cheery bonus.

Then, Shayla turned Sweet Sixteen!

She requested doughnuts (from the Amazing KD Donuts!)

Instead of cake...

We are only half-way through the month...

More summer fun to come!
