These are flowers at a roadside rest area on I 75--------They looked as perfect in person!! The colors and intricate blossoms are beautiful-who said there isn't a God!!
Here is one busy bee!!

We returned from our "northern trip" Monday evening---had a wonderful time visiting friends and saw Ken and MJ in Kalamazoo!! Took lots of pics, of course. Getting ready for our BIG TRIP now!! More friends!

This is a good one!! Rock was munching his potato chips last night and look-----a WHOLE POTATO in the bag, all french fried!! This is the first time we have bought this brand, and it will be the last!! I fully expect to find a mouse or two next time! That sure isn't quality control at it's best!!
Sorry, this is blurry!

On our way back to PawPaw, where we are staying for 3 days, I called Ken and he was just 2 minutes away! We stopped at a hunting store and met up with him and MaryJo! Spent time looking at guns, hunting stuff, etc. then on to St. Julian Winery in PawPaw for wine tasting! After about 10 samples!! all went back to motel. They are staying about 15 min. away with family for a week. We will see them again in Sept. when bow season opens!!!!
We are supposed to meet up with old friends tomorrow at a lake here.

This should make you feel good! Look at the price per gallon! We went to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI today. Gilmore Brothers Dept Store was the biggest store in Kalamazoo back when I was very young, and my mother worked there! The car museum is out by exclusive Gull Lake. 90 acres total, with several BIG beautiful barns holding a multitude of cars from the earliest through the 50's and 60's.

This is Rock by a Pierce-Arrow. He took a ride with Mr. Pierce in Appleton WI many years ago when he was building fire trucks! I'm glad I didn't start riding motorcycles back in 1917 ! This one is pretty rough! We looked at a couple new Honda's today, near our motel.

This plant is a "miniature" spirea. Very flowing, but it is not doing well in my CLAY garden!! Don't know what the problem is, but some things do not do well in clay! (even with added good soil) I'm trying to plant all perennials. This is the sage I brought from Florida, and it won't stop!! I stuffed a turkey breast and a chicken yesterday (for company) and used LOTS of sage and parsley. I put 2 ripe pears cut up in the drsg also, and was it GOOD!!
This is the sink Rock put in himself!! Even has hot water! Now he comes up from his "hole" clean!

Rock is still busy "plastering" the basement wall! The gloves he uses when doing cement (protects his beautiful hands!) :*) He will paint it all white when done so will be lighter "down there" in the bowels of the cabin! These are "starts" I planted a while ago and just planted in the strawberry jar today-below is the giant plant I snipped them from-it never gives up!!

HORRAY!!!!!!!!! Rock found the camera under the bed! It must have fallen after I set it there when taking out one contact to go riding on bike! What a $$ savings! This small basket next to back door of cabin now holds 4 white eggs with red speckles! I started to take it down to check on it and a chickedee almost hit my head flying out! She scolded me for 5 minutes sitting in the tree! I leave it alone now! This is one egg, 2 days before. Sorry it's fuzzy!
You can't miss our place here in "heaven"........ I filled the washtub after Rock drilled a few holes in the bottom. Good thing as we have had so much rain lately.
Made 12 fresh blueberry muffins from scratch this morning.......soooooo good!! Need to plant more starts that have rooted really good in the new big pots I bought yesterday! Took a ride to Blue Ridge to a Rose's store. They carry all kinds of "stuff"! Envy the raspberry pie and ice cream Suze and family had for their 2nd wedding anniversary!!
