Day 198: Family Reunion Day 2

 Today was beach day!! We had so much fun playing in the water, building sand castles and just catching some rays.

Day 197: Day One Family Reunion!!

 Well, we made it!! Today was the first day of the first ever Ken and Carol Prolo Family Reunion!! All of us have managed to get together for a week of fun in the sun!! We are only missing a few people. My husband... :(, another brother-in-law, one niece and one nephew. It's going to be a great week... but we'll miss those who aren't here.

Day 196: Pink Lady Apples

 Have you tried Pink Lady Apples? Wow!! These are really good!! I bought some the other day and just can't get enough of them!

Day 195: Praying Mantis

I found this little guy when I was out working in the yard yesterday. I hope he isn't too mad that I disrupted his home. I don't think the bees and the other insects were very happy with me.

Day 194: My Before Picture

 This is my before picture of our backyard. Our weeds were so tall, they were as high as our fence. Yesterday I began to tackle the yard. I managed to get a lot of the weeds, but not all of them. I'll post my after pictures when I finish the whole yard. Which won't be for awhile, because tomorrow I am leaving for my week long vacation!! I can't wait!!

Day 193: A Little Bit of Hope

 When I originally planted this garden, I'll admit, I was a little afraid I wouldn't be able to care for them. I don't really have a green thumb, and tend to kill plants. Turns out most of the flowers did really well, accept for these ones. They had hundreds and hundreds of little yellow flowers on them, but a few weeks later they were gone. I've given them Miracle Grow and they get watered, but these yellow ones have been gone longer than they've been around. Well, this afternoon when I was out front, I noticed this tiny little bud... and I now know there is hope. I am hopeful that they will bud more and more and be big and beautiful again.

So this was what these flowers looked like when I planted them...

Day 192: Flowers

 I snuck a few pictures of the flowers my sister has growing in her front yard yesterday. Aren't they beautiful?
