Visitors
Ed and Bonnie came to visit us last weekend. We had a wonderful, relaxing time: we went to two baseball games (Angels v. Orioles), dined out Saturday night, Mark and his parents surveyed some Hopkins lectures Friday morning, and Saturday-day we had a day in the yard.
Ed helped Mark install an outdoor light over the garage entrance.
While Bonnie and I carefully supervised.
And watched the grass grow. Come on grass. You can do it!
Ed even joined us in grass-watching for a few moments.
But in the end, he seemed skeptical.
Finally, I decided I'd better at least LOOK helpful. So I tacked on some protective covers over our fence posts. As the boys wrapped up their job, we learned in fact that it takes only two grown men to screw in a light bulb :) (just kidding)
The light fixture looks fabulous!
Finally, we let our guests rest :)
On Sunday night I cooked a fresh fish dinner for them. I think it turned out pretty well (though definitely not perfect). All in all we had a really great time!

Great Pictures Anne! Glad you guys had a great time. Your Yard looks fantastic!!! You guys have made soooo many improvements in such a short period of time. Can't wait to see them in person... soon
I posted a comment but you can't see it unless you go to post a comment... weird
i love those kind of visits where visitors just kind of join whatever it is that you'd normally be doing, but in a much more relaxed way. at least thats what i picture this visit as.
and mom i can see your comments.
Beautiful family!
I like so much your garden!
