The twins and their daddy stopped by this morning. The girls heard Pa say something about the raspberries being ripe and they were off like a shot. Time to pick! Wearing Ma’s garden hat… We’re looking forward to a good crop. And lots of help picking. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
Wondering why we went to Memphis to go to a zoo instead of to St. Louis? Much as we love the St. Louis zoo, they don’t have pandas. And the girls wanted to see pandas. When we looked up the nearest panda place, it turned out to be Memphis. Four hours away isn’t too bad. […]
Do you remember how beautiful the hosta ‘Sagae’ looked this spring? Well, the redbud tree it was under was dying and had to be cut down a week ago. Our many grateful thanks to our friend Paul and the crew members he sent over to help us out with that tree and several other projects! […]
We had a very nice day on Sunday, Mother’s Day. God blessed us with beautiful weather. The day started with pancakes with the grands. Snow White knows the recipe by heart now. If Pa isn’t ready, she pulls out the flour, the baking powder, salt, etc., so they can begin mixing as soon as he’s […]

We talked about a lot of things…butterflies and birds and ants and beetles… …flowers and trees…and wind…and the bright warm sun… …and frogs…and ponds…and […]
Last evening, our son and his family came by for plants. Before digging, DH played with the twins for a bit. He pulled out the old Big Wheel that used to be at his parents’ house for their grandchildren to play with. Our son actually played on it when he was a kidlet. The girls […]
The girls are always a bundle of fun. They were here a couple of days ago and we had all kinds of adventures. Even though Rose Red says, “I don’t like adventures.” They helped Pa drive the tractor… And let Ma give them rides… Played on the “park” as the girls call it… Snow White […]
The grands spent the afternoon with us. They love to help in the kitchen. Today we made bread. And they helped clean out the mixing bowl, too. ~~Rhonda
While enjoying the east porch Saturday afternoon, the girls discovered a line of small ants moving across the railing. “Look at the baby ants!” Fascinating! Having the ant crawl over her fingers and hand didn’t bother her at all. Different story for her sister. Had to show it to Pa. Putting the ant back “so […]
