This week was not nearly as busy as I thought. And that was nice. It went by so fast though, I can't believe it's Friday. Oh, well. The weekend is here! Hallelujah!
Last Monday we drove Judah to his last regular tournament on the Jr. Tour. He really did well. Shot a 45, and that's after tanking on number one with a 9! Ouch. He placed second by one stroke. Not bad. He's really excited for the state meet coming up on Monday. Should be interesting. Hope he smokes up that course as well.
It's finally dry enough now that the central grassy area inside our circular drive does not have standing water. Can you believe that? We are thrilled!!! So, Ezra takes the mower and inches along, literally and whacks away at the waist high grass. It took him forever. But, he had a plan. Just what do two young boys do with all those grass clippings? Of course - make a huge pile and dive in it, slide in it, jump out of the tree into it and ride their bikes into the middle of it. They then proceed to come barreling into the house covered in grass clippings to explain their exploits, all of which I have observed through the picture window. But they fail to notice that they have dragged in half the pile of grass with them and now my entire house is beginning to resemble their green mountain of fun! AAhhh! Boys . . . :)
We now have another batch of critters to call our own. A couple of swallows have made a nest right above the porch. And they are none too excited about all the felines running around, I can tell you. It's is downright comical to watch the poor unsuspecting cats walk across the lawn, minding their own business and suddenly a winged creature, which should be their lunch, dive-bombs down onto them, nearly pecking their heads. The cats cower and slink through the grass to safety under the porch. Cowards. Talk about your David and Goliath story. Maybe the cats should invest in a sling shot.
Smoothie anyone? You've come to the right place! See, we have a standing order for a case of organic banana every week. During the winter, we will go through more than a case a week sometimes, so it's not a big deal. But during the summer, when there's cherries from Washington, grapes from California, and we're just getting a better selection of fruit from the US, the banana consumption goes way down. So, we have taken to freeze the excess, cause, really, how much banana bread can one make, and now we have a freezer full of, well, frozen bananas. And we have at least a half of a case of bananas really ready to be frozen, and another case of bananas is arriving today!!!! Okay, yeah, we kind of let it get out of hand a bit, and should have canceled the order two weeks ago, but, hey, that was before Gary decided to go on a watermelon binge/fast kind of thing, and he's the one who usually eats like a dozen bananas everyday. So, needless to say, we're up to our eyeballs in potassium. But I'm telling you, there's nothing like a good cold banana, cherry, blueberry, strawberry, peanut butter, rice milk smoothie when it's 90 degrees! MMM.
Well, better run. Gotta pack for yet another fun-filled couple of days watching Ez race through the water. He's hoping to make state in at least three more events. I sure hope he does really well. And I hope it's sunny so we can work on our tans. I do not really want to spend three days under an umbrella. Again.
Have a great weekend all!
jill and all
