Lettuce Me!

We decided to make BLT's last night.  Rather BL's, because we didn't have any tomatoes on hand. 

Here's what we had going on before making a family trip to our garden:


 Garden Action:
 Charm is checking out the crop.

 
Bill and Lucky hard at work!

 
Yummy Leaf Lettuce!

 
BL Sandwiches!  My dream meal this summer would be BLT's with fresh lettuce and tomatoes from the garden, with a side of sweet corn on the cob, also from our garden.  If we get a couple tomatoes and a single ear of corn this summer, I will be thrilled!!

Sweet Summer Time

Check out our weather station (which was free last fall with a $50 mail in rebate from Walmart):


It wasn’t broken. It was actually 102 degrees around here yesterday.  Crazy, crazy hot!!  It was definitely a pool day! We opened up several pool toys that I picked up from Target on clearance at the end of last summer. It cost $11 total for everything pictured:


(BTW:  The Nemo toy is awesome.  It keeps swimming!)
 
We labeled all of our new toys and packed up yesterday morning to head out to our community pool:

 See my new pool bag (a recent Target clearance score for $4.98)







And then look what happened when we got home:

Out for the count!


Lucky rarely takes afternoon naps! I think we need to start making the pool part of our daily routineJ


Popsicle Time!


Thumbs (or Pointers) Up for Summer!!
