Birthday Part 1

I'm such a giver......for Pat's pre-birthday present, he got an ice cream maker.....and then I got mint chocolate chip ice cream! Thicker and creamier than any ice cream ever before and the fresh mint made it pop. I really should give more presents.

Then on my birthday I got a drum set! I've always wanted to play and now I can go down to the basement and bang on them any time! Although, hopefully a few lessons will make it sound a bit less like banging.

Late June

Finally! I've tried to grow raspberries for years. (Okay, I mowed over the bush one year). But look- real berries!

There are actually two different kinds of berries. One is much bigger and redder. The other is smaller, pinker and sweeter. Both are yummy though!



Early June

Pat put up a new back gutter with some assistance from Marc.






I helped with the spray painting...now that I've spray painted everything else on the porch and deck, why not the gutters too? It matched very well and was so easy!



and in the front yard........
