We are patiently waiting for the weather to clear up so we can actually turn our clay mounds into a yard. It feels like it has been raining for 2 weeks with a day or two breaks. But we can't go out and dig and move clay/dirt until it dries.
Cordelia has one week left of school and is sad that it is ending. Gonna try and keep her busy with the Barnes & Noble and the local library reading programs. I need to look into swimming lessons and they actually offered a free school refresher course at the end of July. She wants to really do both. She bridged over to brownies from being a Daisy last night. That was a fun night.
Wyatt is eager to play outside and not to be put to bed when it is still light out.
Ed is doing good. He is eager to have a back yard and to be able to drink a beer on our back patio when it is finished.
Good news~ a neighbor put up a fence on one side and it seems the house on the other side (the new one that hasn't sold) is gonna be too. Which means we will only have to do our backside and the front gates. Ye haw!!
I don't think we will get to planting a garden this year due to the weather set backs. Though I am tempted to plant some tomato plants in our front flower bed.... Hmmmm...Wheels are turning. :)

I can't believe this school year is over. I am trying to plan stuff for the kids too. Barnes & Noble would be a fun activity....oh, wait, we don't have a B&N here! Boo Hoo! LOL!
Our weather has been rainy and gloomy too. We are very tired of it. Bryan managed to plant a garden a couple weeks ago. I am not quite sure why, no one eats the garden stuff, except. ME! Geesh!
Good luck with your yard. I bet you will be so happy when you have grass!
Well, you can complain about the rain, but at least it's not sun, rain, sleet, snow, lightning, wind and tornadoes all in one afternoon!
And I don't think the blackberry and raspberry bushes are going to grow. Two weeks in the ground and all I got is sticks poking up.
On the plus side, the rhubarb is growing like weeds!
Our girls bridge to Brownies this week. You know what that means, right? I'm going to be frantically sewing on badges so everything is on their vests for the ceremony!
