Sunset on the Ponderosa

Garden Report

We have squash, lots and lots of squash! The squash harvest is huge!

We even grew some conjoined squash!

The King Visits

The King of the Ponderosa recently visited for a week and ruled the place by doing all the things he loves like. . .

water sports. ..

going bare foot. . .

telling stories. . .

driving his Gator to check out the Ponderosa and watch the hay being baled. . .

celebrating a 90th birthday with his special friend, Lola

playing computer games until you just fall asleep. . .

throwing rocks in the pond. . .

And having the best time in the world with his P-pa and Nana .

Junebug Jamboree

Life on the Ponderosa has been mostly quiet until Saturday morning. As we were doing some chores in our garden we looked across the yard and saw 87 million June bugs flying around. Seriously, they were coming out of the ground in swarms! If you walked around in them you got hit. I tried to make a video, but it does not really show how many there were. I have never seen anything like it! They were in our lower front lawn and around the hay field, but they stayed in that area and did not come close to the house or garden. My video will not post so, here's a picture!

Update from the Ponderosa

Here on the Ponderosa, the 87,000 birds we live with are multiplying. . .

Blueberries are turning blue (the harvest so far has been two for my mouth and one for Peanut's)

The lilies are showing out. . .

Farmer Gibson is having his 10:30 snack and

and I am growing flowers in a bucket on my porch which officially makes me a little old lady and I'm okay with that!
