Siblings Smiling Together? Rare!

 With full tummies and expert photographer, Sarah Schmidt.  Add to that Jory saying just the right things, we captured some amazing smiles from these favorite siblings.

 Henry said, "No way am I going to smile.  Someone has to be cranky." 

Little Joshua and Grandpa spotted some horses by the Water Conservancy Park. 

Craving a Cuke? Come on Over!

My lemon cucumber bush is taking over the back yard.  The seed packet said to plant 3 to 5 seeds per hill, then choose the two largest that germinate eliminating the rest.  I failed to snuff out the others.  Now I have a plant/s taking over the whole garden spot. 

These plants are awash with blossoms and now fruit.  It was foolish to think the two of us could eat all 100+ of them.  The good news is that I love lemon cucumbers.  Fortunately, many others find they like them too, when sharing the tasty healthy treat.  "Just eat them like an apple," I say.  No need to peel or even cut them. 

Some were missed on previous pickings, making them very large and unappealing when I came across them.  I was glad they also disappeared from my basket at work.  Skip the crackers, chips and candy come on over for a cute little cuke.

Ten Angels Together

Ten angels took a ten minute break from four-wheeling, exploring and playing to try on some blue duds I selected and let us take their picture.  We rounded up a few more at another location for this bear bench photo, too.  

Grams was in grand (angel) child heaven and will cherish these precious pics forever.
