Summer Begins

It has been a great start to the summer. Robbie comes home from Kindergarten with so much energy and is just ready to play. Of course Ricky can't wait for him to come home.
We recently received some of porch furniture. Happily it arrived in several very large boxes. Here's a video of Robbie and Ricky taking advantage of their new toy. Ignore the junk you see at the tree line. That's a product of the porch construction and a free swingset that Grandfather is going to help erect next weekend.

The shouting that you hear in the video is from a knock-knock joke... Knock knock. Who's there? Luke. Luke who? Luke out below! That's not what the boys are saying, though. That's Ricky's version of the punchline. "Be out beyoh!"

The porch has been the best! Alex and I will read the paper out there in the mornings. We leave the door open to the den and let the breeze blow in and cool things down before the day gets too hot. Fabulous.

A bunch of other women and I have started tennis lessons at the neighborhood courts. Yesterday was our first go and I didn't do too badly. With 11 people signed up, I feel like there will be plenty of people willing to practice with me who are at my same beginner level.

What else is summery so far? I haven't seemed to be able to get any plants in the ground. I'm way behind on my tomatoes for sure, if I'll have some at all. Seems like I should get on that.
