Ring around the Rosies, A Pocket Full of Posies

Ok, so maybe not posies, exactly, but Wild Violets. We have TONS of them here, and Sarah thinks they are the greatest thing ever! She and Ethan picked me a bowl full of them from what is supposed to be my vegetable garden (not worth the effort this year...). They were so pretty, I had to take a picture

Ashes, Ashes,
Riddle: What do you get when you mix a firepit, some rain, and a little boy
Answer: FACEPAINTS!!!!! (and everywhere else paints, too...)

"Ok, yeah, we're busted, we know it..."

"I slave to create a masterpiece, and NO ONE appreciates my talent! Great... Now I've got a headache!"

We All Fall Down!

It's a little difficult to see in this video, but when Shawn tore the old siding off the chimney, we discovered an extremely large colony of red wasps. Fortunately, the majority were still hybernating and simply fell straight to the ground to die, but there WERE still way too many live ones flying around for my comfort...

(Disclaimer: No persons were stung in the making of this film. No wasps were intentionally harmed, but it is safe to assume that most ended up dead or homeless. A memorial fund has been started to help the displaced wasps....)
