"Aventures...."

This day was full of aventures........no, I didn't spell adventures wrong.  I have a 'full of life' grand daughter here who flavors every moment with her sayings!

Because it rained last night, Bill and David were able to burn the branches David has been collecting around the yard.  (They even stand the same.......this generation thing is amazing to see up close!)

David caught his first chameleon and shared it with us.

We made some lemonade from the lemons off my tree.  It took a lot of sampling to get it just right.

We played in the bamboo grove........it is now the fort and the center of much imaginings!

The highlight of the day was the pulling down of the old pumphouse in the backyard.  Abigail posed in the doorway;

she was the princess calling for her prince from the castle tower....

The guys succeeded in pulling it down and then hauling all the blocks to Bill's roads out back and the rest in the trailer for a dump run.

The girls watched from a safe distance!

Our neighbor called to say they had a few new baby goats if the kids wanted to see the kids!  They did.
They even got to collect the chicken eggs-what great farm fun to enjoy.

As the men cleaned up the mess in the yard, Abigail and I made some meatloaf for dinner.  She is a natural in the kitchen.  (She ate a huge dinner and wore her praise of a great meal with gentile humility.)

After a quick run to the bamboo fort, I was able to corral them and get them bathed and pj'ed and storied and in bed.........

I am knitting a little bit in the evening but mostly I am ready for bed! (This is about 4' across now)
(No wonder you don't get a lot of knitting done in the evening Daughter!)
