Photos from this Week - And A Few Musings

Last Sunday - putting up the hot chicken fence for the pasture hens

A view of the kid's summer chateau - a 52 year old tent!  (photo taken through upstairs window screen)
Morning Sky - taken while driving and hauling The Bad Girls and 20 Sheep- yes, while driving
Spying on the Kids - Out back visiting kitties
It's mid August.

Only 2 weeks and 2 days until school is back in session.

We love summer and are NOT ready for school.  Boo hoo.

I'm one of those mom's who loves this time of year - sunshine, no homework, daily episodes of adventures combined with work, and having time with my kids.  Our summer seems to have just begun and I'm hanging on to it as much as I can.

My two are 12 and 11 and at that ever so perfect age of 'in between'.  They still tolerating me - but just slightly.  They hug me in private.  In public, I tend to embarrass them.  They do not like it when I dance - especially in public.  Or whip out my camera. I have to do these things on the sly.

They are great company on adventures.  We can have 'big people talks', go out to eat, and enjoy each other's company. 

Only two more weeks of bliss.
