Reading Nook

Melanie made herself a little reading nook. And with all those comfy pillows Brownie couldn't resist joining her.

Happy 4th. Of July!

In the morning we went to a parade in our lil' ole downtown McKinney. Then we went out to lunch. We swam in our pool. Played with our neighbors. Grilled BBQ chicken. And most important, we ignored the law & did 1 mini fountain, and a few sparklers in our backyard. HA! (since BIG Brother/BIG government is probably reading this post I should probably delete it) HA! However, we were extremely safe & used a bucket of water to discard our burning hot sparklers & had the hose going continuously just in case something caught on fire. It was a BLAST of a day. Ton-o-Fun! Happy Independence Day everyone!

Pool Fun!

What Kind of Plant is THIS?

Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? It's growing in our front yard, very close to our front porch. We didn't plant it. But we think maybe a bunny did. They have been known to burrow under our porch. Or maybe a bird. We have a few possibilities of what we think it may be. 1. A weed (my guess) 2. A cantaloupe plant (Duane's guess) 3. A zucchini plant (Lori's guess.) It's growing fast, like a weed. But it has beautiful yellow flowers. Duane has an app on his phone that can tell you what kind of plant it is. They said it was something weird, something we haven't heard of. And when we "googled" it, the pictures were not the same as our dear plant. So needless to say, we are very curious. This thing is getting huge! And even though it's not an eye sore we don't want it taking over our yard. So, what are your ideas? What kind of plant do you think we have?

We Went Bowling!

The three of us went bowling and WOW, did we NOT do very well! HA! We haven't been bowling in years and it showed. Duane barely broke 100, Melanie & I did not. But we sure had a BLAST!

The Chicken Coop

How AWESOME it must be to have chickens! I long for the days when I can have a chicken coop! SO COOL.

THE Coolest Swing

This is just about THE COOLEST swing on the planet!
