July Photo Roundup

Moving into the heat of the summer now and the garden should be going gangbusters, but we've got a lot of failures with the Tomatoes and Peppers. Just not a good year for nightshades apparently.

Started off the month with my cousin (first cousin, once removed) David and his family stopping by to visit on their country-crossing road trip.

The boys are getting bigger every day and starting to interact with each other a lot more. It's very exciting to witness!

While we're not getting everything we planned in the garden, there's been some surprises, such as the morning glories overrunning the tomato cages

and not surprises, like the sunflowers

And the weather has been quite nice, with lots of stellar sunrises and sunsets.

Back to work... or play, for that matter!
