bits and pieces

Aside from shooting guns, we spent most of our weekend around the house, cleaning up the garden and doing random chores that have been put off too long. Sunday afternoon, I borrowed my sister's pressure washer and cleaned all the frog poop and other assorted nasty things from the siding, which is a hard but oddly relaxing job. It wasn't all work and no play, though, as you can see. The boys had fun with Tater, and my dad took everyone on a hayride after the shooting party Saturday. I also found some pretty great deals on Fiestaware, which will be of interest to maybe one reader who isn't named Holli.

Meanwhile, in sunny California, Max is having a great time and doesn't want to come back because it is so awesome there.
