summertime... oh summertime!

you are hot and PAINFUL! but the brief monsoons (or at least the evening wind) made the evenings somewhat okay.. (barely)! not cool, by all means, but if you sit really still..its not hot!
thank goodness for a big cousin (LANDON) who's still a kid! =)
he brings guitar hero and fun for the kids! they are lonely today without him. he's the lucky one though, cz i made him stacked enchiladas for dinner.. mmmm

summertime also brings yummy watermelon. but this is no ordinary one.. this one is from our GARDEN!


then you take some wood, some screws... PLUS..

.

55 gallon barrels with a rod through them..

.
and you get home made compost barrels!

you can spin them on the rods (so it gets stirred)
i cant wait to have my own compost(or mulch) to put in the garden.
we take grass.. old garden plants.. peelings from fruits/veggies.. or expired ones..haha and even chicken poop.. (beings they eat only healthy things) anything goes really except dairy or meats as they would spoil and not break down.

yeah... we're pretty cool!

yeah you're cool alright. And Jed said the coolest is that (he noticed this from the truck when we dropped your thing off the other day, not I) your shirt matches Raegans undies.

Such an overachiever!
