Sprinkler Fun

This summer has been a strange one.  The weather doesn't know if it wants to be cool or warm causing me difficulty in knowing what to do with windows at night-leave them open or close them?  There have even been a few days when I thought about turning the heat on to get warm.  Cold, then hot, then cold and hot again.  The poor garden doesn't quite know what to do either!  We did get some nice strawberries earlier this spring.  The boys wanted a carrot cake the other day so I told them to pull the carrots from the garden, wash them and grate them.  The did it (with a little help from mom) and we enjoyed homemade carrot cake.  We might get a few Roma tomatoes and a few potatoes.  The corn isn't tall enough to have any ears appear and the pumpkin didn't grow this year along with several other items  planted.  However, I will keep trying in years to come until I get this gardening thing perfected!

The kids, on the other hand, know just what to do in the summer sun, even if the sunshine hasn't been warm enough to warm the water in the pool or if it has been cool enough that we drain the pool water.  They just play in the sprinklers.  I particularly like Tyson's helmet!  Fun summer days!
