August

We haven't been taking as many pictures of Maggie lately, because she's getting really hard to take pictures of. She doesn't hold still much, and she usually tries to take the camera away from the photographer and it ends in a big crying fit. Also, she's usually totally grubby with food and dirt all over her clothes and her hair totally unkempt. But we managed to get a clean, neat, Maggie in a cooperative mood this morning and got some pictures. So here she is!

This is one of the new gates Dave has put up. He's almost done with the project which will totally enclose our back yard and prevent children from escaping.

This last picture is of course what naturally follows Mama saying, "Not in your mouth!"

This is our vegetable garden. It's doing pretty well. So far we've harvested some zucchini, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, green onions, carrots, green peppers, and a cucumber. We expect lots more of all of those things and also hopefully some corn, pumpkins, and a few peas.
