Two Weeks of Catch-up

It's been two weeks since I posted due to prep work for a garden tour on Saturday. Our Memorial week end was a 'stay-cation.' We babysat B, walked across to the park to support a fund raising ball tournament, walked through a flea market/yard sale, set up an arbour (can one have too many?!), celebrated birthdays at a family cook-out and finished mulching the flower beds. It was a wonderfully relaxing week end of a 'stay-cation!'

 B was loving his own water bottle and a step ladder - check out those cute black finger marks that he swiped on his face! The ball tournament players are in the background at the park across the road.

Mr D is prepping a very rusty arbor prior to setting it up. I would have been too impatient to do that and just slapped it together to get it in place quickly. I love how gardening has become a 'we' project instead on a 'me' project! 

Family cookout and celebrating S's birthday.

We celebrated L's fortieth birthday a month late and DIL M served a delicious spread!
