sitting by the pond after my visitors have left and enjoying the last bit of sunlight…

my water shoes are on the deck because I went into the pond once again and dredged up another pailful of leaves… the fish are still not coming out, but I did see the frog hop by earlier in the day…

all three of my grandsons came by just after noon… I made them grilled cheese sandwiches with the wonderful La Belle Baguette whole wheat sourdough that was delivered yesterday…

the oldest left, the middle one mowed the grass, front and back, while the youngest watered plants and pulled weeds…

some days it is hard to realize he is eleven and can reach and do more things…

after the work was done, relaxing happened and visiting took place…

this was the first time I’ve had people in the house and the system was they had access to the basement for cooling down and using the washroom and I had the main floor… worked perfectly…

we ordered Chinese food for supper and it arrived just before the daddy, who had been at work all day… afterwards my downspout got fixed, a stair board tightened and then off they went…

it was a treat to see them and I enjoyed every minute… I missed my nap, but plan on making it an early night;-)…
