Birthday Weekend

Rod's birthday was Saturday, and we had a beautiful weekend to be outside and celebrate. Saturday eve we (just rod and i) went to a restaurant in Etown that has outdoor seating, we really enjoyed that experience. They made the atmosphere almost Carribean-ish, and it was warm enough to feel like we were in the Carribean! Sunday Eve we went to the River for a picnic supper, then came home for birthday cake. The twins like to sing "Happy Birthday Dear Daddy" and Adam just wants to know when it's his birthday again! oh boy, November is a long ways off!

There's something about being near water....so peaceful.

Adam's sand castle....

Rod's cake of choice is Ice Cream cake roll. It's been a tradition since he was a young boy.

In other news, i got my garden all planted (tomatoes, peas, beans, corn, peppers, cantelope, carrots, onions, cucumbers), only to find that today all my tomatoes, cantelope, and pepper plants are down to nothing! Was not happy about that. we never had this problem before, but we have more skunks and possums around here then we used to and apparently they like my garden. So i need a plan. More on that later.
We have 5 more new kitties. that's 9 total baby kitties. Yikes! This latest batch has some calico so at least we have some color, but still....we need to find homes for these kitties! and also get some mamma's fixed. All 9 were born right outside our back patio door. Well this morning i saw Blacky moving her batch of 4 away from the patio. I'm pretty sure i know why.......
Have a good week everyone.
