Ducks Still Hanging Around

TJ, AJ and the boys came over Friday and spent the afternoon with us. While they were here the mystery ducks were back on the ditch bank. The boys and Sadie went out and fed some bread to the female. We had a fun evening with the Js, having dinner, smores and dancing on the new DDR2. Thanks T and A for coming over and having a fun time with us.

Unidentified Duck

These ducks were on our ditch bank yesterday! I couldn't find them in any of my bird books. Any body have any idea what kind they are?

Weekend with dj and lj

Thanks for the fun weekend! We had a great time spending time with our new granddaughter. She is a cutie. We had a good time shopping at Gardner Village where bs bought a new quilt for our bed. We also ate at Leatherbies and had some yummy ice cream. LJ had a little bit too much, but she was able to take some home. We look forward to seeing them again at the babies blessing in October

Yard Swing

We went over to Parma today and bought a log so that I could fix the rotted out leg on our log swing. I thought it was going to be very hard fixing it but it went quite smoothly. I even cut the holes in the right places and everything fit perfectly. We can now sit on the swing and not worry about the leg collapsing under us.

Fun weekend

Thank you D and E for a wonderful weekend at your house. We were able to spend from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning with them. It seems like the time goes to quickly while we are visiting. We bought some corn and E helped us get it into freezer bags. It looked like good corn so we are looking forward to some good eating. It rained for a few days that we were there which made it challenging in taking the dogs out side since they don't have grass yet. We took Lily with us so that A and T could go to L and Ds. I think Sadie enjoyed having her friend go with us.

We brought 5 doz. ears of corn for tj. Lj and I spent part of the morning husking it then we got it ready for the freezer.
