Avery's day at Fun Run

JULY FUN



Our little ham (wonder where she gets that from?)

Avery has recently said she wants to be a pilot here she tries her skill on the small-scale

First tomato from Avery's garden

Making Smores-Again Max N Ruby Inspired some have Norman Rockwell we have two bunnies

Oh How does the garden grow.

Inspired by Max and Ruby on Noggin, Avery decided she wanted a garden.

In the space of a 3ftx3ft square we planted two tomato plants, pepper plant, basil, pumpkins, radish, potato,cucumbers, and lettuce resulting in a bit of an overgrown but happy garden. Avery has greatly enjoyed watching the seeds grow into plants and food.

Fathers day we went to Worlds of fun and Oceands of Fun. Boy was it hot.

Avery enjoys playing in the backyard greatly. Since I have been home we spend at least two hours everyday out back.

Avery stands before the Lavender Fridge before we made our trip to Home Depot to get a new one. The Amana has been with me for 16 years and had served us well. The exterior long ago gave way to rust-which explains the paint job-but when we woke up Saturday and the freezer was like a fridge and the fridge was like a cabinet we knew it was time. The new fridge is a lovely Matag in a beautiful white that matchs the stove. Matching appliances now how did that happen.

Avery turns Three
