I sit here while Norman and Lindsey are working, Leah went with her boyfriend Ryan down to my sisters, and Lauren is babysitting. As you all know we have had such a terribly HOT summer, I have averaged mowing every two days to keep up with this summer grass. I am not complaining, this is what summers are suppose to be like, now the humidity could ease up a bit!!!
I will post this now, then perhaps later add the rest of the pix...
