OK...trying to catch up...

Jonathan and Annisia hamming it up for the camera...I think Annisia has a mouthful of snack. This pic was taken May 25, 2008.

These were our apple blossoms. We have had quite a bit of wind lately and have lost most of our apples, though. A bummer...

Here is a coat and hat hanger we put up for the kids. Michael cut and finished the wood, I cut out the lion and bear from that craft foam stuff and glued it all together, and Michael put the hooks on and hung it. Isn't it cute? The kids love having it right where they can reach it and rarely have a problem hanging their coats when asked.
My columbine was beautiful this year. It is spreading all over though. I seem to miss harvesting it before it drops even more seeds. Does anyone know if columbine will take on colors it grows next to? Some of mine seem to be darker than others.

Paperback Swap!

OK, so I am way behind with this again, but I had to tell you about this "new" cool service I was told about by a friend. It's called "paperback swap". Go check it out. There's also a link on my side panel. And if you want to do it, list me as a referral! My nickname is "markdarla". Heehee, more book credits! No, really, it's a great idea and it's free right now (except for the cost of shipping your book). The website does a better job of describing it, so I'll be quiet now...



Happy swapping, and keep checking back. Soon I'll get this updated again!
