Knee high by the 4th of July

What a crazy weekend. We had a big bbq at our house and we were both bound and determined to just relax... and we did!! Here are some pictures from the 3rd and 4th. We had so many fireworks, some of them illegal (shhh don't tell), and we put on an awesome show between us and our several other neighboors whose fireworks collection very closely resembled ours. We were even able to see the city display in Ann Morrison Park from our yard. Most of it anyway. The saying for growing corn is that it should be knee high by the fourth of july. It sure is, and more! Its about waist high right now. Our tomatoes are starting to go nuts too! Our one plant that produces earlier than the rest probably has 15 tomatoes on it. We also have a few little jalapenos on our two little plants, our peas aregoing nuts and everything else it in bloom! YAY!!! Even our new trees are rockin, although some of the leaves on our Hathorne are starting to turn yellow. Anyone know what that means? At any rate, here are the pics.

Danielle and her new boyfriend Alex. We like this one :)



We bought a gazebo thing for the porch and we love, love, love it. Yes, notice the tent airing out in the background... we all know what that means!!! I will have to take a picture of the finished gazebo with the lights we put in it.
