Today my two youngest and Kathy’s two youngest started their summertime business….homemade popsicles…..they started with a variety of flavors and set up shop out on the road in front of Brave River Ranch….where approximately 5 cars per hour MIGHT drive by….

But somehow….they sold out, in spite of the lack of traffic…..in the summer there’s lots of foot traffic because people are walking to the river to swim and fish….

They all tasted the sweetness of hard work and success………they are saving their money for something very special that we will tell you about later…but we are pretty darn proud of them and it was fun to look out from the art barn from time to time to see them with their customers…

In other news….the cherry tree is looking spectacular as the cherries get more and more and more red every day…….the apricots are still green…so are the plums and both apple trees…as are the tomatoes on the vine…..so they don’t make pretty pictures yet….but look how pretty these cherries are!!!

So what did WE do today…well….tons of stuff…..we didn’t come in til dark again……..one of the things we did was give our paper lanterns a makeover…….you should see how cool they look now that they are all hung up…..they were so fun to make and we sat in the new art barn and spruced them up for hours…it was a very fun day….

The boys spent the day putting all of the flowers where they go…..and putting drip line into each plant…….I can not begin to tell you how absolutely heavenly it looks and smells here…….really…it is more magical, beautiful & peaceful than even a mind as wild as mine could have ever imagined……hope you all can come visit soon….

We love you!!!
