Highlights from the Week

I have helped our literacy department do inventory all week. That has left little time to do much around the house. Thursday I had our little teacher group from school over for brunch and mimosas. We had a great time visiting. We have tried to get everyone together a few times over the summer.

Lilly was assuming her usual position on the couch when I noticed three of her bottom front teeth are gone. I have no idea what happened. She didn't seem to be in pain and her gums didn't get infected, so I guess all is well.
Sunset Friday night was gorgeous! I can't wait until we build Kev's shop and have a deck on the back overlooking the pasture. It's always a pretty view.

My new boots I ordered!!They are back ordered until September, but  I can't wait to get them!!
Sunday I did a little freezer cooking. Hamburger meat was on sale, so I took advantage. I also made a batch of homemade cream of mushroom soup. I'm in love with this stuff and it is so easy to whip up.

Veggie stock made with all the leftover veggie scraps I have been saving.
I used the basil from our garden to make pesto. I have never made it before and it is wonderful. I froze it in an ice cube tray for easy use later.
That about sums up our week. Of course Kev worked everyday. I ready for the hail storm damage to be over with so I can see my husband again, but I am liking the money it is bring in.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
