Tree Down

This is what we saw when we pulled into our driveway today. Our next door neighbors pine tree had a big branch break off and fall in our front yard. Luckily it missed our house and fell around my baby orange tree. I'm sure it was hit but it looks like it is going to be ok. Hopefully when the guy cuts down the tree tomorrow he will take it easy on our lil guys. My orange and nectarine tree are doing good I even have 4 little baby green oranges starting. My avocado tree though i believe will not make it a bit to hot for it. I am holding out that it may pull through but I don't think so.

Horseshoe Backboards in!

Well even though the temperature was over a 100 degrees Lloyd was outside cutting, bolting, digging, cementing! I was inside the air conditioned house reading the paper. Did I mention i am not a fan of temps over 100. lol he had a goal of having it in before our summer party Aug 28th. Well all we have to do now is find some cold rolled steel 1 inch and have them cut it to 36 inches and he will did a hole and cement it in. the horse shoes were already purchased at 2 different garage sales for 2.00 we have like 12 shoes. We only need 4. We are almost done, but now the homework of finding the important part comes. A lot of people just use re bar but that's not what should be used. we even have the correct length for the back boards for distance apart. I can see many nights out there throwing shoes already! I hope my arm makes it and doesn't die.

Casey's new Haircut

Ok its actually a few weeks old but you know how fast I get around to making a blog post. We like the shorter hair especially for the summer and swimming it cuts down on the amount of hair in the filter.

Signs

We have started collecting signs and putting them on our fence in the back. One of these signs we had at our wedding behind our table if you remember in the tree. We picked up the Corona and the I luv U today at garage sales. My favorite is the one that says " Normal is just a setting on the washing machine" isn't that the truth! I got the Angel stadium arrow for Lloyd for Fathers Day. We have been in our house for 13 months and we have 13 sign up so I guess we are averaging 1 per month. I know you all go to garage sales so keep your eyes open for signs and help us add to our fence. We have lots of room to go!

Saturday garage Sales!!!
