Circadian Rhythms, August 2015

How they would have spent everyday of the summer if I had let them

Five dozen ears of corn, a last ditch effort to stock the freezer before school starts (unfortunately, it was a casualty of the freezer debacle -- though I decided to refreeze it anyway)

Helping Grandma with green beans from the garden

Slow but steady progress on Hannah's quilt

Our first watermelon, one of the strawberry variety and delicious!

Playing Jenga at Grandma's house

Two cool cats showing off their new shades

Trap set and ready for a skunk

Success!

Hannah is prepared to watch the skunk meet his fate, with nose covering and binoculars

All set to make and can pizza sauce

The potato harvest, not as many as we had hoped for

The cantaloupes finally ripened and were very tasty

Playing basketball has been a highlight of this month

All the summer squash are gone, leaving only pumpkins and corn on the northern half

Southern half has more pumpkins and sweet potato vines still growing like crazy

Tomatoes and peppers are still producing too

Spring Break Trip to Florida to Visit Granny

The girls and I used Spring Break as a chance to fly to Florida for a couple days of fun and visiting with Granny. It was the first time for the girls on an airplane which was very exciting.

When we arrived it was lunch time, so lunch at a beach burger shop was in order. Then we went back to Granny's condo for some beach time.

The following day, we went to the Kennedy Space Center to see the rockets, space shuttle, and learn a little more about space exploration.

Of course there was ice cream.

The following day we got to see Daytona, a light house, and look for Manatees, but never found them with Granny.

We also went to the Marine Science Center to see and touch some fish, went shopping for chocolate, and had dinner on the pier.

We played mini-golf and these two got locked up.

The last day, we spent time on the beach and packing for a long drive home.
