Salsa and gutter splashing

This morning before church I harvested tomatoes from 7 different tomato plants. Doesn't this picture just scream "SALSA"? There was cilantro in the fridge (I can't keep cilantro alive when it gets hot. Any tips out there?) so after church we made salsa. After the salsa and a few pitter pats of rain, we cooled off with a little gutter splashing. The gutter was not running from the rain, but a swimming pool being drained up the street.


We soon gave up and ditched the shorts.

We finally retrieved a boat to float. As the sun went down, the lawn sprinklers came on. Perfect! A shower before pajamas and bed. Their mom and dad are expected later tonight.

The boys look like they were in heaven. I think a gutter is just the right amount of water and fun. Thank so much for all your help this weekend, even though it wasn't planned well or far in advance.

I really love these pictures, thanks mom.

Hey Aunty Laurel - Your garden and green house look amazing. I had a quick question for you. (not about the garden but about your pool)
Do you guys have a sand filter for your pool??
