Gutters, green thumbs and caught red handed

Last week was good. The gutter man came by and installed the new and matching downspouts!! He did it all and I didn't even notice. He rang the doorbell to let me know he was done. What good guy!






Looks better doesn't it?





Lookie what we are growing!!

That picture was taken 5 days ago on July 13

AND

5 days later (taken this morning) it looks like this :)


SO far Ed's green thumb is working. He is so excited!!

Cordelia and Wyatt playing with Macho Man.



We have this BIG square coffee table and on one side it has two drawers. Well, Wyatt has turned the top drawer into a sitting place. He opens it and climbs on in it and sits and reads books or plays with toys.




Cordelia caught red handed!



We went to Rifle Falls on Friday. It was a blast. Wyatt loved the spray off of the falls. Cordelia had fun sitting on the rocks on the look out for fish while Ed took pictures.

Yesterday we reached record highs. 104 is just to hot! I kept Cordelia inside till later in the evening. At 8 pm it was still 99 degrees. UGH!!

Nice green grass! Maybe you can convince him to add some flowers next year. With that green thumb, you'll have a gorgeous garden in no time.

Thanks Shari! I planted some violas. Some have died off and I think it is because of the heat. Gonna try for tulips but have to figure out how to make the soil drain-able... any ideas?

Holy green grass Batman!! Looks great! If you plant tulips, just put some gravel as your base, then cover with soil, then plant the bulbs then cover with soil. That should help. The gravel will help the soil drain a bit. (at least in theory, right?)
