The last daylily blooming in the garden:

I can't believe how long this daylily bloomed. it was one of the first to start and the very last to finish. Turtle heads are on their way.






Stick bug #3:


This guy took a ride from the south end of South Bend all the way north; including three stops. One of those stops was at the grocery store!! I hope it likes it's new home.



Not getting much done this weekend again. too much running around and socializing to get anything done. That is why having the kids back in school will offer up most of the week for me. It is so nice to have a chunk of time for me. PLus Tom is on vacation next week. Unfortunately most of it will be taken up with fixing the 2nd car, taking a trip down to Indy to see family and hopfully getting the siding finished on the front of the treehouse. The treehouse that has taken 4+ years and problably 2+ more to get it finished or at least, darn close.
One man doing the work, money and time are the culprits. What's the hurry? We would like to get a few good years of our girls enjoying this treehouse before they head off to college!
