Pappy and Grammy's Summer Visit

 

Pappy and Grammy made the trek up to Alaska this summer.  Here's a shot at the Texas Roadhouse in Anchorage, taken under the mount of Willy the caribou.

Grammy brought Landon the quilt she hand-made for him. An incredible heirloom he'll eventually pass down to his kids.

Grayson's 14th birthday.  He went through quite a transition this year.  Grew about a foot, and is now a fitness guru.  It's always fun to look through pics of his previous birthdays, here's some below:

The garden is doing well so far.  In the foreground is our lettuce, cabbage, peas and Brussels Sprouts.

Farther back are our broccoli, Swiss chard, pumpkin, cucumber, spinach and asparagus.


Onions, carrots and beets in the raised beds.

Potatoes are going strong.

Lupine and wildflowers.

According to this fireweed, summer is about half over (when the blooms reach the top, that's the end of summer, so the saying goes).
