Another Summer Weekend!

I babysat Thea, Drew, and Grant Friday into Saturday so Jami & Andy could go to a wedding and Jessie & Peter could pick up a wild mustang in Tenessee.

Here's Thea with the pop Drew gave her!
And Drew with his own pop.
Saturday morning - watching Sesame Street in our PJs.
EB and Grant - EB has the touch with that one!

Drew trying to teach Thea how to play baseball (I love that the helmet is on backwards!).

Going for a ride on the train!

Sharing the fireman's boots - one for each!

Mr. Serious - such a good, good baby!

Then I brought Thea down camp to play with Nana Sue and Grandpa Jim. Here she is splashing Nana Sue in the pond.

She looks proud as a peacock here!

Her two rocks - one was 'Flat Rock' and the other was 'Orange Rock.' She played with them all evening and then lost them when she insisted on swimming with them.

Bobby caught a 1 3/4 lb largemouth bass. I had to take the hook out and teach him how to hold him. He was soooo proud and all the kids were obsessed with catching the big one!

This afternoon I went on the Ames Mansion Garden Tour at Borderland State Park. It was great and the Interpreter was wonderful! This tour is offered every Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm - check it out!

I Have Rabies!!!!!!!!!

Aren't dogs just grand! Mine put on a fine show today - he may have given me rabies! He somehow managed to catch and kill a woodchuck about 12 inches from me. It all happened in about 10 seconds, if that. When he shook the thing to death, I got SRAYED with blood! It was mostly on my legs, but I got some on my arms and FACE, too. My face. Covered with woodchuck blood. What the f*$%? Here's a pretty picture:


So now the woodchuck is getting tested for rabies and I'll find out in a week if I need to get rabies shots. In the meantime, Hank has been quaranteened by the Lakeville ACO. And to make matters worse, a rabid coyote was found in Lakeville yesterday so they are taking this super, super seriously. I love my dog!

Baby Box Turtle

Found this weekend and he was sooooooooooooo cute!

No Rain!

We've finally had some great weather, so I decided to take the camera with us as Jay and I took Hank for a walk this afternoon. This is the huge field that is across the road from us.

The red building on the left is Cape Cod Copper - you may have heard of it. It is three doors down from our house.

Right past Cape Cod Copper, on the right, there is a dirt road that goes through the fields. We take Hank for walks down there a lot. The road crosses a stream and there are tons of cat-nine-tails here.

Here's Hank in front of the stream. He hasn't been swimming here yet. He's too afraid of the drop down!

Across the street from Cape Cod Copper is a trail that goes into the woods. We love walking here.
Can you see Hank? He was hunting a mouse in the field!

The trail leads to a beautiful pond where Hank loves to swim and fetch sticks. Tomorrow Jay and I are going to go swimming too!

And there are tons of chipmunks for Hank to chase and dig after.

And here is a happy, happy man tooling around on his John Deere this evening!
