Im Back

OK I know this is way past Wednesday.  I went to Illinois to see my parents and I didn't think it was good idea to post online that I would be gone for a few days. 

Alan drove the truck up with the two dogs who like going to see grandma too, while I drove up with my daughter Jamie and my granddaughter Lexi.  I just got my car cleaned out today.  It looked like I had a daycare in the back seat. While we were there we went to see a high school friend of Alans.  He lives out in the country and Lexi got to see his animals.Sorry the pics aren't great I really couldn't see what I was clicking at the sun was glaring too much.  Lexi got to pet a chicken.

                                     

  She got to see a llama, a donkey and a miniature horse.  And lots of chickens.  She also got to see 4 very large horses and too feed them corn.  I didn't get any pics of them.

  My pumpkins are a complete bust this year.  I only had one getting any size on it and it was rotting when I got home.  Ill just have to chalk this up as a bad year and try again next year.  My window boxes however are doing great.



When it was first planted.

Look how full they got this year.

This is just a very large spider living in my flower bed.
