" A Very Quite Fourth of July "

Our family didn't make any plans for this years Fourth of July celebration. You see my husband had to leave for work at 4:00 a.m. Monday morning.

Being the older folks that we are, we opted to go to bed at 8:00 p.m.!

However we did grill out on Friday and Saturday. Lit a few firecrackers and bottle-rockets. Whoo- Hoo!! 


Last year we went to see the fireworks show at the airport but besides having to get up early on Monday, we both weren't in the mood for the crowds and the heat. Katie didn't care either way so it was just a quite evening for us!

I had to get up with him to drive him to his truck so since I was up so EARLY, I went back home had a bit more coffee and as soon as the sun rose I was outside working in my yard.

It was a beautiful morning. Shady, cool and slightly breezy . Perfect conditions for gardening as I knew the temperatures were going to be very hot today. By 10:00 a.m. the sun was already too hot to keep working so I packed all of my tools up for the day and went inside.

But not before catching a bit more video of Mr. Toad. He wasn't out at first but once I started to weed in his area, there he was underneath the little red flower again. I had just previously watered there. I think he likes that.

Now before I post part three of "The Exciting Adventures of Mr. Toad, I must tell you some exciting news. One of my blogger friends, 

Brenda from " Rinkly Rimes " was inspired by Mr. Toad enough to write a little poem about him!

He seems to becoming famous already! It is a very cute poem that I know you will like so please pop on over there to have a read.

Thank You.

And now I give you part three of "The Exciting Adventures of Mr. Toad"!

 I know, I know. This is just more excitement than you can handle in one day!


But wait.....


There's more! And I know that this will just make your day!


It is part two of part three! Confused? It's o.k., so am I !

Don't worry about the poison ivy deal, I get it nearly every year. I tend to go a little crazy ripping weeds out. Yes I wear gloves, no I don't wear long sleeves, it's too hot. Is that stupid? Well of coarse silly!



And I promise not to bore you much more with Mr. Toad! I have been working on other things as well. He's just been a welcome distraction!

Please if you aren't too fed up and bored with this toad adventure please HOP on over to "Rinkly Rimes" to read Brenda's poem about 
"Mr. Toad"! It goes really well with today and yesterday's post.


I hope you all had a very Happy Independence Day!!
