Two Fawns Out For a Morning Walk

What we saw out our back windows yesterday!

12th Anniversary

Our neighbors had a celebration for their 12th anniversary on the 12th of August 2012 at 12 noon!

A Summer Supper

Wasp Nest

I was out doing yard work yesterday and came across this wasp nest in low branch of an oak tree. Thankfully I didn't walk right into it!

Let's Dance!

Sunday afternoon we gathered at the K family farm for an English Country Dance (and some square dancing too)!

"Virginia Reel"

"Progressive Gordon"

"Heel and toe..."

The dance group!  (Although by the time we thought to take a group picture, several people had already left.)  We had such a fun time together!!!

Summer Roads

Mom and I took a different way home the other day from a meeting, and I couldn't resist pulling over and taking this picture. I love back roads! Mom noticed that the trees almost form a heart.

A Fiery Sunset

Yesterday was extremely humid.  Our windows were all fogged over, and the cement patio never dried off. The mosquitoes were very happy with this whole situation.  We were happy to stay indoors!

The sunset was unusually bright last night.  I'm not sure if it was the humidity, but the sky just glowed orange.

It was so bright it looked like a forest fire!

The above picture is a bit blurry, but it was amazing how the tops of the grasses looked orange as they relfected the sunset.

A Dance!

Ever since doing English Country Dancing at a friend's wedding last July, we girls have wanted to try having a dance here at our place. Well it finally worked out, and this past Saturday was the day!! The Lord blessed us with pleasant weather, and the storms that were predicted passed by!

Getting the dancers ready for the 'Virginia Reel'.
The Knudtson family brought their sound system which was such a blessing to me, as shouting over music for 2-3 hours would have been extremely difficult. Thank you guys!!

I really enjoyed calling the dances!

After the 'Virginia Reel' and the 'Duke of Kent's Waltz', we stopped for supper.

Desserts!

Ana's strawberry trifle!

Joshy enjoying his food

Jo telling me all about snakes and how they can climb trees.  :)

After eating and visiting, we got back to dancing...

...this time doing 'Progressive Gordon'.

And then ending the evening off with another round of 'The Virginia Reel'!

We all had SO much fun!!

Unfortunately we didn't think to take a group picture until after a couple families had left, but this is most of us... minus 7 friends.  Oh yes, and minus the two photographers. :)

The difference of a few months...
