HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!! And Happy Birthday to my Aunt Pete!!!!!Sweetheart told me I was a bad blogger! He may be right about that. I really do not have much to share. I sure hate to bore you all!!! We have been enjoying some beautiful weather. Lots of sunshine to soak up. We have gotten our yard looking pretty nice, too.
We had a company do some treatments, so the grass is much thicker and the weeds are under control. Sweetheart trimmed up the bushes, and he and Charlotte planted some flowers. I planted some pots of flowers for the porch and added some hanging baskets, which, by the way, if you wait til late in June, go on sale for like 70% off!!! 
My neighbor gifted me with this beautiful pot of yellow flowers. They are wonderful between the front porch rockers! I like this porch!
It is a comfy place to sit in the morning sun, or the evening shade.
In the back, we got the little garden planted. Just 2 tomato plants, 2 pepper plants, and a couple of rows of green beans. Enough for our dinner table. Everything else can come from the Farmer's Market.
The pots on the back deck are filled with red and white petunias, just like in the front flower bed.
My son had his children for the week. He was on vacation and had a wonderful time with them. They go home tomorrow. They will be back in 2 weeks and then every weekend after that for the rest of the summer. I got to enjoy them all on a few different occasions. They LOVED the CD's I got them. Remember....I couldn't share my Galena gift to them til they got them? I found CD's that I had made with their names in the songs. Emerson AND TJ have CD's in which the songs include their names like 90+ times in the CD. You can find them at Poopsies.com under Personalized CD's. Such a great gift!!! If they had Emerson's name, I am sure you can find just about any name!
My friend Sue's daughter was in town with her little ones. Our kids grew up together, and now TJ and Emily (Sue's granddaughter) and Emerson and Treavor (Sue's grandson) see each other once a year. TJ and Emily were smitten....it was cute but scary.
They could not have a Popsicle without making sure they had the same color!!!

And she is such a helper. Watering the garden and flowers is her new favorite thing to do!
She is too cute for her own good!!!
I have MANY more pictures to share, but this is enough for today. My great nephew, Dominic was here for a few days and just left today, so I have more pics to load, plus a wonderful quilty gift to share with you too.
There has been much more going on here in my own world than I thought when I started this post!!! Maybe Sweetheart is right and I really AM a bad blogger!!!
I will try to do better!! For now I leave you with a bit of hope from the Word.

You have a beautiful home. And I love the new blog design! I'm glad you've had a great visit with your family. :D Happy fourth!
Great post Bren. I have been a bad blogger too, but I feel like I can't blog about the same thing every day. My life is pretty boring and who wants to read about flooding every day? LOL I hope you have has a wonderful 4th, my dear. We just chilled here at home.
Your grandkids are SO beautiful! Amazing how fast they grow!
I'm a bad blogger too....the best of intentions! I know just what you mean. :)
I just LOVE your porch - I think I have porch envy....I have always wanted a lovely covered porch like that!
Anyway - I love it when you do blog. ;)
Blessings to you!

Awwww young love, it's so adorable LOL. That Emerson is getting so big and has lost the look of being a toddler. Water is always a good thing to play in too :0)
I'm a worse blogger than you are and I'm not even sure when I'll post a new one....so no worries, just blog when the mood strikes. I always love hearing what your family is up to.

You're not a bad blogger, but you are a busy lady!
Your house is sooo cute. And the yard looks very nice.
The grandbabies are getting so big. And they are so cute.
