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.

Max and Molly Swimming

Max and Molly love to swim but Molly really loves to swim. She never seems to tire, after twenty minuets or so we have to stop because we are afraid she will get to tired.

Max's first swim

Max finally got the courage to swim.

Wood pile

This picture show the finish painted fence, the window boxes KT and Ben gave Lynn for Mothers Day, and two cord of wood for next winter.

low budget garden

This is our low budget garden. We had some left over retaining wall blocks, a few bricks, compost, and a couple of hours work and we had a vegetable garden. As long as we don't back down the driveway to far we might have something to eat.

Nora at the river

Nora's idea of swimming is standing on the wet ground next to the river.

Max getting daring

This is the deepest I have seem Max get. When he turned he had to do a couple of dog paddles.

Molly swimming

We walked down to the river after supper and I let the dogs go for a swim to cool off. Molly loves to swim and dives right in. Max is getting better and will get up to his tummy to fetch a stick. Molly will jump in and go over her head with out hesitation.

Nora playing keep away with Molly

Nora and Molly sleeping

Nora loves sleeping with Molly. Problem is Molly likes to sleep alone.

Molly has the upper hand

Tug of war

Popham erosion

The main trail to the water from the parking lot at Popham was closed with a sign "closed do to erosion". We walked around on another path and this is a picture just down from the closed trail. Must be about a six foot cut in the sand. I walked under the tree branch with out ducking. Three weeks ago I do not remember any more than a two or three foot drop.

Nora's first trip to Popham

Nora got her first trip to Popham this afternoon. She didn't seem impressed. The tide was high and the waves were good size making lots of noise. She walked right along but never got more than a couple of feet away from Moma.

Nora's new jacket

Mama got a end of the season deal on a new jackets for Max, Molly and Nora.

Max, Molly, and Nora

Molly has warmed up to Nora and now they all three play together. Max is playing keep away with a stick.

Molly safe on Daddy's lap

Molly is having a harder time adapting to Nora than Nora is having adapting to us. Molly seeks the safety of our laps away from Nora any time she can.

Nora in back yard

Lynn took this picture of Max. Saturday we drove to Popham and walked the beach for around an hour. The air temperature was warm but the wind was cold.
