You know it's Summer when......

•  Mommy is in the garden.
  

            This year we will have a much bigger garden, hosting a large variety of occupants, ranging from tall, lanky sunflowers                
          to low, viny cucumber vines. My favorite always is the snap peas. Mmmm......... Okay, I need to stop thinking about    
          those. My mouth is starting to water, even though it will probably be at least another month before we will start 
          picking.

•  Daddy is making sawdust.

          I'm pretty sure his favorite part of Summer is being able to do woodworking outside. Although you do have to watch 
          out for poison ivy. He found (a.k.a. got all over himself)  a whole bunch of those itchy plants while he was pulling out    
          several of what was thought to be 'just some harmless weeds".

•  Wesley's appearance makes you think he played with pigs all afternoon.
  

            No description needed here.

•  Chicken is napping in the sun.

           Here is a schedule of a typical day for chicken.
            Sleep - Go outside - Bark at a squirrel- Go inside - Eat - Sleep, nap, bark at squirrels, and bask in the sun all 
            afternoon - Run around with Katie once she has done her schoolwork - Eat - Beg for scraps at suppertime - Romp 
            around with Katie - Go to bed - Sleep

•  I am taking the reluctant chicken for a walk (on the rare occasion when she is not napping).

           I like to take her on a walk every Sunday afternoon. Most of the time we only go about two blocks, because her legs 
           are so tiny!
