SWIINGER

This afternoon while doing the laundry inside, believe it or not I saw
Butch outside entertaining himself by swinging himself on the backyard
swing.

THE CULPRIT

HERE'S THE HELP

I had totally forgot that you could spray the plant/plants with chiili
pepper so that's what I did. So far so good.

END OF SUMMER SALE

Almost all of the stores are having end of summer sales Costco is no
different. Which is where I purchased these perrinials. They then met
up with the perils of Butch. That is ....until help arrived.

MY HOW MY TREE HAS GROWN!

I bought this tree last year at Costco when it was just a twig
and.within one year just look at how much it has grown! Originally it
had quite a bit of apples on it till ol' Butch came long. then he
would grab a little bitty apple and run like the wind. That's only
because the branches were low enough for him to reach. At least he
would grab something healthy.

LAST APPLE STANDING

This is the one and only apple that has escaped the clutches of
Butch's big, wide mouth.

JAPANESE LILLIES

I bought these Lillies last summer and I thought they were gonners for sure as they did not seem to thrive. But lo and behold much to my surprise they did. The plant just grew and grew till it started to tilt. The flowers are HUGE and heavy. They are so sweet smelling too. Fills up our whole house with their wonderful fragrance.

FARMERS MARKET

This morning we all went over to the farmers market in our little town to support Summit Gymanstics as they performed their gymanstic abilities. Next month Mimi will start training with them. From left to right is Elsie, big sis Emma and Mimi.

Tonight we will all head over to Gloria's (restaurant) for open mike. We will be going with our neighbors Scott, Jess and their daughter Natalie. Should be quite interesting.
