Friday

Today Kitty Lou and I got ready to go hit some Garage Sales. Kitty Lou ran and got her purse and of course, some money. Today will be the first day this year on going to garage sales. There are not too many things that I need, and we are holding our own garage sale next week. But we thought it would be fun to go drive around Marshall and see what treasures we could find.



Also, Kitty Lou has a new friend. She lives 2 doors down and is a year older than Kitty Lou. We watched her run down to her friends house and knock on the door to see if she could play. Then they both got on their bikes and rode and sang and laughed. She has a new best friend and has a look of pure joy on her face. The rest of the afternoon they ran from her house to our house and back again. I had the hardest time getting her to come eat lunch. We got half her lunch down her before she shouted good bye and was out the door again. Our little girl is growing up.
I took a shot of the bikes. The girls park them so nicely when they go inside to play.



Speaking of lunch, today we had tacos made with homemade refried beans and they were super tasty. Also, I picked fresh lettuce from my deck garden! This was my first pick of the year. We also have spinach, green onions, and radishes. We did have cucumbers, but we have a family of raccoons that like to hang out on our deck at night and they decided to tear up my cucumbers. I am not very happy with them.




Later, I stepped outside on our deck and saw a deer hanging out by our shed. I'm pretty sure it is the same one from yesterday because I saw it walking past our house on the sidewalk last night too. At least this deer uses common courtesy and uses the sidewalk!




Now you have gotten to see shots of the deer and the raccoons, all that I need to get now are the muskrats and the groundhogs. The groundhogs are not my favorite since they are destroying our yard. I have even tried to get some shots of the fish that swim in the river in our backyard.
But I did get some shots of the river for you. We love our river and at night when it is quiet out all you can hear at the bats and the sound of the water.
The river and the yards are most beautiful in the summer.
