Well, the weekend is over, and what a weekend it was!

Saturday we had yet another storm – this time we were at my Mother In Laws home when it hit, Lots of hard and fast rain and more hail. This is the second storm like this in a week and the leaves on my apples trees are showing some definite damage from the hail. So far, only one hail bruise on my sweet little apples though, so thats a relief.

Unfortunately, the garden, just a 20 X 4 patch has flooded for the second time in a week. My Mother in Law said my carrots should be fine, but that my peas will be done for, they cannot take all that water. Since I want to remove the garden this fall and put in grass it seems like a shame to wait, all I had planted was the carrots and peas!

Oh well, I will keep an eye on the carrots if they perk up, they can stay- LOLz!

Sunday we had a bit more excitement! The girl I baby say for three years turned four, and we were all invited to the party. It was hot, but fun. After the party I went for a quick coffee with a friend and came home in time for two of the three boys to be bitten by wasps. My middle boy was bit on the side, and the youngest was bit three times, on the forehead above his eye, on his head and on his upper arm.

They are both feeling fine – but from some of the comments they have made, I get the feeling there will be some fighting when it comes time for them to play outside! Even though this is the first time they have been stung/bit, they seem to think now, that it will happen every time they go outside!

Now, I’m off to go make a pot of coffee!
