A photo series of the latest barrel race.....after fighting with blogger for a long time I finally have all the pictures up, I don't have the inclination to also put them back in order! I think you will still enjoy them.

Fun on the 4th
Living on the Cape is the best...and our little town of Sandwich is always making fun for families!
July 4th was filled with free activities and Scout and I tried them all.
It started with a parade.
A water fight is a parade tradition...floats vs the crowd!
After eating a strawberry shortcake at the strawberry festival we headed to the field day.
Always seeking out the animals.
In the evening we headed to Shawme pond for a concert and picnic dinner.
Shakin' her bootie!
Always doing yoga!
Waiting for the boat parade on Shawme Pond.
Two nights before we went to Aunt Margaret's boathouse for potluck and fireworks.
Happy Birthday America!!

Bleeding heart
One of my favorite shade plants is the Bleeding Heart. It is a perrenial, needs no help once it is in and has beautiful flowers and leaves.
Scout seems to love them as much as I do.
Did you know they came in white?
The lilac bush is blooming too.
Happy spring.

The garden May 4
The garden is coming to life!
Last year we put in a few strawberries, bought at a yard sale. We were thrilled that they provided us with yummy berries from June 'till September! We bought, from a neighbor down the street, another 60 plants for $10.00!
We had to create a new bed to fit them all into the yard.
This is an easterly view of the garden. The fruit tree's are in and pruned. Apple, peach, plum and cherry. The raised beds have asparagus, cucumber, squash varieties and swiss chard. Already peeking out of the dirt are potatoes, broccoli, onions, lettuce, parsley and raspberry and blueberry bushes.
The birds are moving in!
A pair of orioles sang to us.
I couldn't let this house stay at the dump. Some child spent time on this masterpiece and some birds are sure to move in.
This is the wedding hill. We spent months getting grass to grow here, and it did. Satinka and I traveled down together on my wedding day, it was beautiful. Unfortunately the grass won't stay. The rain just keeps washing it away. We are going to try to plant grass over there rocks, in hopes that it will drain the water through and let the soil stay. Stay tuned!
