Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again....nah, don't bother coming back for a while...

It's been a while since our last post, and I'd love to tell you it's because it's summer and we're too stinking busy out doing all the fun things that summer entails to post to the blog.... but no. It's been a pretty rainy month, plus a few stinking hot days thrown in there. But I guess that's what summer really is (not what we've longed for all those cold snowy months) :).

Despite the rainy forecast, we have been busy:

Mel's grandfather has been spending the rainy days inside carving this amazing 3-dimensional fish.


My flowers have enjoyed the steady watering (as I tend to neglect them as their out of hose-reach). Here is my transplanted lupine from Mom's garden.

Mel's cousin's daughter turned 2!!
My garden is starting to flourish. We've had sugar snap peas for a few weeks now! Green beans look like they are ready to be picked!
And we tried our hand at another backyard BBQ since the last one got rained on.... this one got rained on too, despite the sunny begining. Looks like we'll have to test the "third time's a charm" theory :)
And we went camping at Papoose Pond with the Alexander family again. Luckily we didn't get rained on until the final night (I told you... it's been a rainy month!)
