Dog Play


It was a little dark to take pictures but the effect is cool. Max and Molly were wrestling after a day at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Casco Bay Cruse


Terry rented a Casco Bay Cruise Line boat this afternoon to celebrate his wifes birthday. Lynn and I along with 70 +/- other friends and relatives spent the afternoon cruising Casco Bay. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time. These two sail boats crossed our path just off Portland Headlight.

vegetables in our flowers


We have vegetables in our flowers. Summer squash and cucumbers to the right and tomatoes in the middle.

pole beans


Where we have sun we are trying to grow vegetables. I put up the chicken wire last weekend and the next day one of the bean plants had gone up the wire about 6".

three metal dogs


Lynn picked up these wonderful little dogs last week.

Table


Roger made us this wonderful little table for our 23thrd anniversary.

gardens


The first garden we planted is to the right and seems to be growing like it should. We had our first lettuce for lunch today. The cucumbers are flowering and the tomatos are about 4' high. We used my home made compost and the top soil from where the garden is planted. The garden to the left is our square foot garden with our high tech soil. The soil is 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 peat moss, 1/6 compost, 1/6 cow manurer. We planted the garden about two weeks ago and the peas are about 6" high and everything else has come up. The cat thought the garden made a great cat box so KT and I built a chicken wire cage to keep them out.
