Cascades: family, food, fireworks Saturday, Jul 4 2009 

Hannah went with us to the Cascades last evening.  She said she enjoyed it—being with two “old people” (Tom’s words) sitting on lawn chairs for hours watching cars drive by.  :)

We actually got chilly during the evening.  Didn’t feel like summer, but at least no mosquitoes bothered us!

Weeding, watering, baking Friday, Jul 3 2009 

We went to the local farmers’ market this morning specifically to get tart cherries.  After eating breakfast at Bob Evans, we got busy at home.  Tom did a HUGE amount of weeding and watering; I baked a cherry pie.  We’re going to see fireworks this evening at Cascades.

Tom transplanted these raspberry plants from his previous home.

There are a few more photos on my Flickr account of the freshly weeded garden areas.  He says it felt good to do it; I’m very, very appreciative!!!  My gardens are cleaner than I’ve ever kept them, thanks to Tom.
