This has been another busy week around our house. Temperatures remain pretty cool still which is great for getting the wood work done outside and for sleeping! We have the wood shed nearly full and will finish it in the fall. Bruce has some lumber in there that he wouldn't be able to get to (in the rafters) if we fill it up. We have some rows of split wood outside the woodshed and will continue to work on it. We can never have too much wood to get us through the long winters!
I just found out this week that my cousin Bob (second from the left) became a grandpa again inthe beginning of the year. Two little girls who had some serious problems as they were born way early. Here is a picture of them at 5 months today. Bob's Mom, my Aunt Shirley, is on his right, then the proud papa, Rob and his son, Robby. The girls, Riley and Reese, are so teeny but are coming along well. As always, if you want to enlarge the pictures, just click on them!
And here is Sasha with Toby. She was a bit washed out but you can tell by the smile that "all was well". They had a great time!
The wildflowers are a bit behind schedule this year because of the cool temps and the rain but they are coming out. This is one of the many wild rose bushes on our land.
Bruce took the next one. The smell is so nice--even makes getting the wood in more pleasant!
And last but certainly not least, columbine, the Colorado state flower. This is the most delicate of all flowers. We have a lot of it on our property thanks to the deer that sometimes like to behead them and the birds too.
We are planning on going to a barbeque today and tomorrow will have some friends over for cowboy breakfast.
Have a happy 4th of July. We sure do have a lot to be thankful in our wonderful America! :)+

We are going to a BBQ with friends today too, hope it don't rain. It looks awful threatening...
it rained almost all day yesterday. The Mt. Rushmore fireworks should have been cancelled, but the went ahead and had them, although the clouds were so low no one could see them explode..$100,000.00 worth of Fireworks wasted!!! 30,000 people disappointed and WET!!!
Hope you guys have a good one!!
