Summer's here...at least for today

What a glorious day. The temp was just right for tanks, shorts and flip-flops. Pretty white clouds brushed the sky. It was gorgeous.

Noah and I did more yard work. We got ready to get our supplies, but had to stop for our weekly breakfast (with) at Harry's. Today I decided to try something different. I had a cherry and walnut filled crepe with whipped cream on top. I know all of you are drooling and lusting over it. It was WONDERFUL! I'll definitely get it again. Anyway...back to my story. Manny noticed a walnut sitting on my plate, and pointed it out to me. "What's that?" I told him it was a walnut. He looked at me with a goofy grin and said, "You eat Walmarts." Even our waitress laughed. Very funny.

After breakfast we headed out to Menards for our supplies. We looked at stone borders for this project. We were in luck. On sale for $.89 each. All we needed was 21 or 23 (I can't remember). This was Gabe's and Noah's job. Manny and I picked out more flowers, and a birdbath. I fell in love with one! Loved it! And it was in our price range! It was wrought iron looking with a pixie on it. Gotta love the pixie. Manny said, "There's one for you." and he was so right. Into the cart it went.

It didn't take us too long to finish. It looks amazing. The picture doesn't do it justice. I can't wait to see it at night. I bought solar-powered garden lights. By the time the sun goes down, our house will be lit up like Chevy Chase's house in Christmas Vacation! Every one of our flower beds have lights in them. Looks pretty cool though.

After we finished the project, I went to the pizza store (Papa Murphy's) and got us a Taco pizza and a sweet pizza (cinnamon wheel). We ate outside and had a nicnic (aka picnic). Lots of fun.

We just finished up with our baths. We all needed them. We were barefoot and kept stepping on those sticky things from our chestnut tree...man, I hate those things. We had to scrub and scrub and scrub. The boys discovered if you rub your feet on the bath mat, it cleans them right up for you. I tried it, and it really works!

I suppose, I better go and get the boys settled down for bed time. We are going to go to Manitowoc to First German's church picnic. Another nicnic. Things couldn't get any better for Gabriel!

Enjoy some more pictures of what we did last week and today!
