I don't think there will be fireworks tonight though because it is cloudy, and breezy, and it sprinkled earlier, and they don't explode fireworks in conditions like this.
On June 30th, Deer Valley Park had fireworks.
I only filmed the end.
Have a Happy and Wonderful 4th of July!
I'll be working making double time pay! See you later!

There has been an overabundance of baked items made.
Last 2 days + Busy busy in the kitchen = lots of food.
I made:
Karjalanpiirakas
6 loaves (2 each of 3 types) wheat bread
3 Pullas
2 cinnamon roll pans
All this made because......
Today is where it gets exciting! I get to see my brother from Alaska!
I'm not going to bring all my bread to the big Birthday bash/welcome here party, but I plan on bringing 1 of each.
We are also having the same people who looked at our house yesterday come back today this morning sometime (they don't know when-isn't that great?) which means instead of going to church like we were planning on, we are now going to babysit the dog in the cat pee car. It's too hot to leave him in the car to go inside somewhere, and it's too hot for his feet to go for a walk. So I hope they don't take long and I hope they stay long if that means anything... I want to go to church, but I also want them to stay long enough to see the house to like it and buy it.
My newest thing: DRAGONFRUIT:
Surprisingly good and exotic. 3 bucks each at Winco.
I'll see you later! I gotta go get ready to go which means cleaning and packing food and the dog.

"Urban legend also has it that the city of Blythe, Calif., bans people from wearing cowboy boots unless they own at least two cows. However, even the city manager of Blythe has never heard of that rule being enforced, so you’re probably safe in those boots."
AAAAK! Mom! guess you hafta buy 4 cows because you own 2 pairs of boots! (cause I think you only own 2 pairs...)
I'll come over and pet them for you once a week....
I dunno. Maybe I find this funny cause it's late and I'm tired? Good night.

Lucy smelling the camera while I take a picture of Ollie:
Today starts my 10 days on and 4 days off at work. I'm exhausted thinking about it already, but it will be a vacation when I get my first 4 day weekend! I can't wait and it feels like these 10 days will go by so slowly.
Soon I get to see my brother who is coming all the way from Alaska!
I'm also excited because it feels like summers starting when the 4 day weekends start!
Today is the day we will have camera crews filming our house and they will put it on TV. We will have hopefully more advertisements that way.
See you later!

Sir Ollibus Newton and Madam Lucifer hath joined us for a few days:
They have the whole room and they choose to sleep in the little den my husband made for them. Well Ollie anyways. Lucy chose to squish under the towel and lay by the side. The litter box is on top of a huge disposable blue plastic tablecloth.
They arrived in this carrier: (which Ollie peed through and dumped his entire bladder's contents down the hole in my car that the seat buckle comes out of, but that's a whole other story. It's washed and drying now. (and I won't have to worry about anyone stealing my car now! :-D )Which also required baths for the cats which made me nickname Lucy Lucifer, which then turned into a bath for the dog which I needed a shower after, so everyone was clean and fresh smelling.)
First things first. I picked this zinnia from my asparagus bed.
And packaged it for a trip.
It was wilty sad in the car. I planted it and forgot to take a picture of it at my moms house (mom! What did you have an empty pot of dirt for with a hole in the center with the dirt wet for anyways? I planted it there hoping all the while there weren't seeds in there.)
I forgot to take a picture of it's new home because: shock... gasp...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does this always happen when you're on vacation mom? My husband figured out what was wrong with the timer -it was set to not water on Sundays? what?
Wilty wilty sad.
Droopy wilty sad.
Melty wilty droopy sad. The Rhubarb. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
The berries were dry looking, but not too droopy surprisingly. maybe the little bit of shade from their protective cage kept them cooler. I picked raspberries! MMMMMMMM!
And now, this:
1st up, Ollie made them both stuck after Lucy figured out how to open the closet door, went in and Ollie followed and sat down, making the door bulge out, which made the opening smaller and he couldn't get out.
Here, me and Cruizer follow Ollie.
Ollie could care less that there's a dog around
And Lucy being sweet. Notice the scratch on my arm? Thanks Lucifer.
And that's the start to my week!
I was so exhausted yesterday, I slept well last night!
