2 happy boys!
We want to put one in the ground
eventually, but this will see a lot of
use till then!

A pleasant form of Sulphur...

I believe this is a male Orange Sulphur.

Seeing pink...

Enjoyed my PINK morning glories this
year!  My blue ones haven't even
bloomed yet, so I get a long
morning glory season!

Sunset in the Capital City!

This is the view we have from a bridge about a mile north
of our house.  It's always neat to pick out the Capital dome.
Gorgeous sunset...and I missed the best part, too.

Camping - part 2

Found some wonderful red coals this morning and
started our fire back up.  Unfortunately, it also
started raining, but since we don't complain about
rain around here, we just cooked in the rain!
The treehouse made a lovely place
out of the rain to eat our breakfast...
pancakes and eggs!
Nothing like breakfast over a campfire...
everything tastes of smoke and fire...
and rain.
Complete with grape juice!
Finally got to use that poncho sitting
around in the barn.  Somehow
managed to avoid melting it while cooking.

Backyard campout...the end of summer!

Even the stuffed animals got a turn on the hammock!


 
It's so much easier camping in your own backyard! 
The boys helped me set up the tent...
a great learning experience!  :-)
The campfire...
The campers...
Nothing like building our own fire to cook on!
Just sittin' around the fire!
