  This weekend, I spent several hours in the strawberry patch resurrecting it from the ivy since it has been 3 years since I have lived here at this time of the year. I also tied back the raspberry plants so they are ready to be fruit bearing, and planted the tomatoes and artichoke plants!

Houston Fun

We had a wonderful time in Houston Texas this week visiting Kevin and his family and Jenni and her family!  Here we are at the OIL RANCH on a hay ride feeding the long horns! what do you think about this big guy? Did a 10x zoom on him! ( He was not at the OIL RANCH! ) Can't make this picture move below so I guess you get him here.
Brazos State Park was a thrill with lots of alligators, rosey Grosbills (they look like flamingos), and swimming turtles.We had so much fun with Jenni, Kenny and their adorable 11month old Daniel. He does the absolutely cutest chuckle whenever he grins. He is just about ready to walk.At the OIL Ranch, which is about a 4 acre ranch with lots of fun kid things to do such as a petting zoo, the BIGGEST long horn steer, a swinging maypole, swings, hayrides, Indian Teepees, miniature golf and other fun things. We played for over 4 hours there!
Baby Joseph was bless on Sunday in Kevin's ward and here is the gang minus Jonathan who had zoomed off to Primary already. Beautiful baby and blessing. Joseph Olivier Ball.
