Saturday was a beautiful day weather-wise, which was really nice, since we had a bunch of outside chores we needed to get caught up on! Bruce had to do some caulking on the side of the house, so I did the wifely duty of holding the extension ladder while he was up there. I also mowed, ran the weedeater, and pulled weeds from some of the landscaping while Bruce tilled the garden...then we planted some of our fall garden. Radishes, carrots, beets, and spinach are all in the ground (turnips will be planted in a few weeks), and the kids planted some zinnias, too (the lovely flowers behind Abigail are okra blossoms...the okra is still going strong!)...
This is one of David's favorite activities as of late. It's neat to see him enjoying this traditional childhood rite. (Note the crooked trunk of this tree -- I love it!)
In the midst of our hard work, the ice cream truck came through the neighborhood! We were excited to be able to get one last treat for the season, and especially to be able to share it with Bruce.
The opportunistic dog...
We got so much accomplished and enjoyed the time together, as well!

So glad you enjoyed the day together! Looks like an ice cream break your Gram would approve of!!!
How fun to climb trees. We have a crooked one in our yard that you could consider either "pregnant" or "getting ready to sit". I'll have to start my own blog just so I can show you.
Have to love nice productive family days! :o)
love these kinds of days, too...but they are too few and far between! You've inspired me by the way--I'm putting in a garden next year. I might be able to get some beans and late corn in the 2 weeks we call a growing season! :-)
