Around our house

it is all things summer.

First things first, we got our Summer Bucket List posted.

Just so we don't forget to do some fun stuff.

There are lots of other fun things going on that didn't get put on the bucket list poster.  Because they are things that happen all the time anyway.  Like weed the garden, do laundry, mow the lawn, etc.

Well, not all of us think they are all fun, but they have to happen.  Here are a few pics Josie took around the farm from the past couple of weeks.

We've had some beautiful, HOT days that have made our gardens grow. 

A week ago.  We had just
planted the sweet potatoes.  (tiny little things
up front)  New for us this year. 
I'll have to let you know
how it went, or perhaps, what we learned.

The garden today.  Funny how much a week changes the garden.
LOTS of potatoes.  Yummmm

Layne brought in the last of the radishes last night.
I love a good radish sandwich!  He'll plant more
for me when fall comes.

We finally got the hay baled. 
I always think they look so pretty
sitting in the field.

No, not weeds.  Corn, beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, more onions.

Layne's awesome raised bed.  No bending required.
For us or the deer.  ha ha

Hope your spring has been beautiful for you too.

Do you have your Summer Bucket List ready to check off?

Sometimes I Get MAD

at our dog!

But on this day I was so mad I couldn't breath.

Remember when I was going on and on about my newest, favorite toy -

my Fitbit?

I accidentally dropped my fitbit as I was getting out of my car (I didn't have it on where I should have...my fault) and Jimmer, the very naughty dog, had that thing in his mouth before I could get turned around.

This is what I had after taking it away from him.



I left it on the counter for several days.  At some point Layne said that I needed to throw it away so I would get over it.  So, I took a picture and threw it out.  Then I decided to get on the fitbit website and shut down my account because I wasn't going to replace it right away.

I couldn't find the place to turn off my account so I emailed the company.  Two sentences long, and yes, I mentioned the dog. 

The next day I got an email from Fitbit.  They asked if our dog was okay and said that they'd like to replace my fitbit for me, in exchange for a review of the tracker and the website! 

Can you believe it?  I couldn't.

You bet I sent them a review and suggestions.  They said thank you very much and what is your address and what color do you want.  I asked for a plum one.  I had a blue one last time and I decided to just start brand new.

Today this came.

And I'm so excited.  It is on its dock and I just checked...it's all charged and ready to go! 

Thank you Fitbit people!

You have a very happy customer.
