A Ride in the van!

Hurray! Chief gets to ride in the van. He likes it, it's bigger, the windows open better. I don't know how he doesn't get sick, watching tree,tree,tree,pole,tree, tree, car,car,car,pole,tree, more trees,more cars. But he loves to ride.

We are still playing with the videos, so we use the poor dog. He can't complain.

He likes checking out the van. Then he decided to sit back and enjoy the ride to aunties house we go. He's such a GOOD BOY !

critters in the corn

This critter was attacting the corn. Pulling the stalks out of the ground. I thought they liked the ears of corn. He or she was having quite the snack. each day we could count what he ate.So this little one went for a ride on the kanc.
This is another one. He or she got a one way ride to the kanc, same place incase they are in the same family.

And yet another one! This one was smaller, I guess the baby. So this one also got a one way ride to the kanc, same place.But this one got to ride with our dog chief in the van. the coon got to ride way in the far back.

Chief is a Good Boy! He gets to ride in the front. He's a happy puppy. totally clueless about the coon in the back.

This is a first time video on the blog,of chief riding with a coon. I couldn't get it in the middle. But aleast it loaded. Sorry the vol. wasn't working well.

He is just a happy puppy. Mag was having fun with the camera.

He was more excited about the people walking on the kanc, then the coon in the back. Go figure.

This is chief after all the excitement of the the ride to aunties house. I didn't plan on a coon. OOps! Tired puppy!.

He likes the van. He really didn't want to get out of the van.He was also very happy to get home.

garden update

This cute little zucchini, is one of many. so far the pumpkins are doing nicely.

Here is one that's bigger.

I'm glad we got pics of these tomatoes, because now they are all rooten. I don't beleive we are going to have tomatoes this year. It's sad, a huge bumper.

We had quite a few coming.

Even these are rotten. What a wast of time, to start these form seeds. baby them for months,protect them from bugs, critters,then they rot on the vine. 29 plants that are no good.

The corn is doing ok for now. we are fighting the japanese beetles. I guess it's the month for them.

We now have tassles, silk, ears,so hopefully we can keep what we have.

The peppers are holding on. We didn't have good luck with them last year. We are hoping that we have better luck this year.

The string beans are almost ready to pick. Yum!

The Blue Huberd is coming along nicely.

Wow! the lettuce is awesome, I don't think we need 4 rows next year.We have lettuce and more lettuce.

The beets are doing nicely.

The cucumbers are finally coming.

We are hoping for some cucumbers before winter.Hee-Hee.

The summer quash is goiong crazy. It's over the oinions,radishes. It's in the corn, the carrots, it's in the driveway.It's gone wild.

The peas have gone wlid also. I'm glad it's on the end of the garden,instead of the middle.

The chives is doing awesome, I haven't seen any more dog poop in the chives, that's right in it. Still I really don't want to eat it.

this is one of our many sunflowers. The seeds said giant, I guess we should be glad we have anything. Our plan was grow the sunflowers for the chipmunks, but now I'm mad at them for eatting all our strawberries. One chipmunk sat right in front of me smacking on a big strawberry. Then he (it) looked me straight in the eyes and washed his face and hands. What can you do ?

I plan to eat the sunflower seeds in front of the chipmunks.

Hopefully more updates to came later.

This post is of the group at Sabbaday Falls. We are just starting. We also planned to hide a group letterbox. Our first one. this group shot is at the beginning of the falls.

I tried the get the length of the falls, but still be close.

Here the group is trying to find a good hiding spot for our first letterbox.When they found another letterbox. they did stamping all around.

Here Molly is just hanging out and having fun.

Mag and Sarah pose for the pic.

Here the kids are still looking for a hiding spot. I think you would need to be a mountain goat to get to this one.

Still looking, this is hard work.

Ok hiding is finished ,everyone is happy, we take a shot break, and start back down. Here Emmy is helping by carrying Nelson. Great job, Emmy.

Next after all that hard work, then we have footware trouble, but a friend is willing to help.

needs more work.

Here everyone made it back , and boys will be boys.and the girls are watching.

Next Nelson wanted in on the act. He wants to do what the big kids do.

So all in all it was another fun filled sunny day for the group. We are so happy that the Everitts could be with us.
