Last weekend we met Son #1 and family at Uncle P's and the men played around with some machinery while we women shopped. I got a good picture of the men in the family but the women thought it was way too hot and humid to even get out of the car for the picture.
This was a slow week for our house. The electric, plumbing and a/c people put the finishing touches on their work in time for inspectors next Monday. The roof people did a bit of work and the cornice people put more siding on the front of the house. The front porch really looks nice now!
However, we did have a fair amount of rain this week and it slowed things down a bit and even the inspectors would not come if it is rainy. Hopefully we will have more progress on the house next week.
The rain did not keep the fawns away. These two were sitting on our lawn late yesterday afternoon.
The cage beside the fawns protects a crape myrtle that the deer ate to the ground twice last year--I named the crape myrtle Lazarus because it came back each time. Seems like those two little ones would like to have a taste!
Meanwhile, we are celebrating the 4th of July in our neighborhood. This morning we had our annual parade and lots of the neighbors gathered on the driveway across the street for visiting, Mimosas, and picture-taking.
Some of the children in our neighborhood decorated the vehicle shown below last night and one of the dads drove them in the parade. Looks like they were having a great time.
Happy 4th of July to everyone!
Looks like lots of fun on your birthday! The house is looking great too:)
ReplyDeletePat, where in the panhandle did you grow up? All my husband's people are from up there, both in Pampa and in the town called Panhandle.
