Too much life going on to blog?
Visiting Maya Louise, my neice and nephew visiting us, getting ready for the upcoming show, etc..... lots of pics, lots of stuff going on - Harry Potter, books and movies, etc. WOW. A couple of pics below. Maya of course, and the spirals my neice made on the laser, painted herself, and took home! Life is good! Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma, and Great Grandpa with Maya. 4 generations in that room yesterday!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ4uQALxu00CypmxjZRnn6ulCR9m-jAIevnGalX_zpEE-13Pyl1fkaDLreenxVLUmdVlQBD7bDyLuZBdv2A1DIBkR9jICdHKUgP0uhmGCDaADDLw_DHVOxSCRdORdgJJhWmnm0/s400/Spirals+on+wall+001.jpg)

Weeds to some - Thistles to others

Last summer, much to my Mom's dismay, I insisted that Dad not cut down the glorious thistle growing in their front yard, and this summer we have carefully mowed around two somewhat less glorious thistles in my yard. The bee in the above picture was grateful I'm sure, and I have enjoyed the wonderful flowers, the dark green foliage, and the very busy ants farming a bumper crop of aphids.

So you thought you were going grocery shopping today?
Below are a few pictures of our house and Mom and Dad's house as the gas and electric crew works to insure the continued availability of gas to heat our homes. A few weeks ago they ran a small 2" dia. line down the side street, burrowing under driveways, etc, but today they went by our homes with an 8" main line that requires removal of the sidewalk, and lots of other things in the path. As old farmers, my Dad and I marveled at the quality of the soil beneath our feet!
While this process is momentarily disrupting, noisy, and dusty, we are grateful to this crew for keeping our city running smoothly. We are also looking forward to the level smooth sidewalk that will be a lot easier to shovel this winter!

Kaleidoscope older than Wyatt

Along the canal, we also got to see 10 ducks - Mom and 9 babies - very unconcerned about us, but very concerned about finding some lunch!

Lazy days of summer
Wyatt is joining me on my bike rides this week - Uncle time again!
On the nature in the back yard front, below is a good sized poke weed growing along the sidewalk on South Ave. It should get a lot taller unless someone decides it is just a weed. Dad and I have a big poke weed growing every summer behind our garage. I think Dad would cut it down ---- I know Mom would ---- but it is such a cool looking and huge plant that I intervene on behalf of the poke weed. That one will end up taller that the garage!
