It's been a busy July so far!

Taylor came out for a week of tennis camp, and Pat, Maddi and Scott joined us over the 4th. Then they left when we had other company arriving on Saturday.

Saturday, 07-07-07, was the day to celebrate my 7oth birthday. Hugh put on a hot dog fest.

Well, I helped to get together all the fixin's for the hot dogs, but Hugh did the cooking.

And here I am, all 70 years and a few pounds of me. See all that muscle around my middle?

Muscle is good, when it comes to digging in this stony dirt around here.

And muscle really helps when you are moving and arranging all these rocks.

Carolyn and Jim brought us a squirrel-proof bird-feeder. Now, we have discovered that we need a raccoon-proof feeder!
