Summer came over early Friday morning and had been working a couple of hours outside pulling weeds before I even woke up!
She is a good photographer and took some great pictures of our trumpet vines.....
......and our sunflowers!
I joined her in doing some work in the back yard while Louis Dean filled up the three bird feeders we bought recently and repaired the bird camera feeder Amber gave her dad for Christmas.
The squirrels had eaten through the wires from the camera to the feeder and he fixed them and then protected the wire in a pvc pipe and duct tape.
Now we just need to reprogram it and we will be back in business.
So far we've had thirty different bird species visit!
The Bells celebrated the Fourth in their rental home while their second floor is being renovated.
Amber makes every holiday special for her family.
They had fun watching fireworks on Friday and on Saturday they watched Independence Day and then moved on to Top Gun!
Having fun takes a lot of energy and our days of staying out after dark or being in large crowds are all but over. The heat has arrived in Texas with triple digits so it's really not a good idea to be outdoors.
We do most of our work in the yard before noon or after 7:00 PM and we always stay in the shade if possible.
We did do Dinner and a Movie Saturday night and Summer, Ilene and Shirley joined us.
Dinner was taco salad and pepper poppers and drinks.
True to our tradition - we watched our movie and was surprised to learn that neither Ilene nor Shirley had ever watched this movie.
My children and I have watched this evevry Fourth of July since 1996!
The Bells all attended church this morning and then Amber and Mike dropped the kids off at church camp!
I can't wait to hear all about their camp adventures next week!!

I bought those same bottles of sparkling grape juice that Amber has! Your trumpet vine is so pretty! Have you noticed any pollinators at it?
