We have been watching several families of little rabbits grow up this summer.  This pair lives on the South side of the parking area.  The other family lives West of the parking area, I can tell them apart because they have a much larger white spot on their foreheads.

James and I trimmed a bunch of low hanging branches off the cedar tree today.

I got a cute picture of James and Vera when we were taking a break.

We had more water lilies bloom this year and they were all really pretty!

Vera and I went down to Lions Pride Park again this year to watch fireworks.  It was a great display this year and we had a good parking spot to watch them.

The moon was showing up in some of my pictures so I took a picture of it also.

I got the old oak tree stump cut off below ground level today.  It turned into a pretty big job but I finally got it done.  Boy was it heavy when I hauled it off.

This was exciting!  Yesterday on the way to Home Depot to pickup an order the whole tongue of the trailer broke off.  The pin for the tilt bed came out, the back of the trailer dropped down and started whipping around putting a couple of dents in the Blazer's left side.  Des and Rielee plus several other people stopped and helped us get it off the road.  One lady went and got us permission to leave it in their parking area.  There are a lot of really nice people around.  Today I put it back together now it will no longer tilt.

Vera picked a bunch of her Don Juan roses and the one Carnation that was in bloom and put them on the dining room table.  Those roses smell so good.

The news mentioned the Buck Moon tonight so I took this picture of it.

For the last several days I have been burning the weeds and grass off the parking area.  Today I moved the motor home and finished the job.

We used the non tilting trailer to go get a load of top soil and finished leveling the spot where the stump was.

I have been watering Vera's lilies every day and they are still blooming.

The Mother Hen and Chicks we have in the strawberry planter put out these flowers for the first time in the three years we have had them.

This is a close up of the flowers on the end.  I did some checking online and it is normal for Mother Hen and Chicks plants to only bloom every two or three years.  It was sure a surprise to us.
