From Friday ...

Lorelei has a hard time keeping a straight face if she sees a camera...

She is either trying to look mean...

Making crazy/squishy faces...

but every now and then...

we get a more normal capture...and I have one more posted over at Time Stand Still.

Garden beauties

Some of our bell peppers are big enough to pick if we need one for something.  Not sure we are going to have many more, but hoping to.  I always clean out the seeds from inside and cut them into strips, and freeze them for use in bell pepper casserole, or chili, or whatever else we need them for.  Certain things we still want a fresh one for, but a lot of things the frozen ones are just fine.

When this posts we will be at Sarah's house...so I may not get to visit everyone till we get home.  Lorelei tends to keep me busy.   According to her mom, she has been in firefly heaven some of the time.

Just a few flowers...

I was taking some close up shots of some of my flowers and thought I might as well take a couple others...

This little flower spot is going wild...

I don't know why I didn't take a pic of the other end with the coneflowers...probably cause they look such a mess since they had to be tied up.

Lorelei sure has fun going out every day to see what is what when she is here...the funny thing is I already was buying pink flowers before she was born.   So kind of funny to continue to buy them because of her.

We have had no rain today...I actually hung a couple loads of clothes out.  Though by the time I did that it had become overcast again and they did not totally dry.  Still I had the joy of doing it.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful 4th of July!  I am sitting listening to fireworks.  We are heading to Sarah's tomorrow or I might have been up for going somewhere to watch them.
