Mama takes us girls out to a tea room and antique shopping on our birthdays. Deeda and Mama went to
"The Barn Antiques" and the "Back Porch" Restaurant.
Feeding the fish, turtles and alligators
Deeda got a beginner's sewing machine from Mama:) She LOVES sewing!

Due to an over-abundance of hungry, chicken-eating hawks, for a while, while the chickens were still relatively small, we had to be on our guard.............
.......So, CJ served as "chicken shepherd"
The poor, stupid potential victims of a cruel death by hawk-eating:)
After a long day of chicken-shepherding! Haha;)
Caption, anyone???
Cleaning blinds and windows is always fun;)
I think this one speaks for itself!:):)
Mama's Morning Glory trees bloom every day. They're SO pretty:)
The Garden:D
Our pear trees are finally starting to consistently bear fruit:)
Okrahenge??? :-D
We have lots of homegrown Sweet Potatoes
Will offers his pitiful amount of green beans....
Hey, I worked hard picking all these!!!
Two very long green beans!
It's the latest style, you know?
Homegrown Tomatoes!!!!
What's this I see?? Black helicopters, Amanda!!!! It must be them......
Water is a wonderful thing

Awesome looking sunflowers! Ours died...
William with his bike in the pool is too funny!! I'm afraid I don't have a caption for it though. :)
I've seen a lot of "them" lately. Be careful! "They" are watching us!!!
Love,
Mandy

Oh, Mary, what a wonderful post! Hmmm . . . where to start?? You must have posted all this just before we got to your house this evening! The sourdough bread y'all were baking with Gracie smelled soooo good!
And Willie in the pool . . . "Some day, just you wait and see! I'll get to drive my pontoon hydrotrike in the big pool -- with real WATER and everything! Just you wait!"
The nature pictures were lovely and show your born-in picture-taking talent! And I love your family chicken shepherd!
And, everyone, Mary is the best, I mean best ice cream maker ever in the whole world. And believe me, I have sampled some gooood ice cream. Mary's is the best!
Love,
Grandmother,
who agrees that there
cannot be too much home-
grown okra! Oh, and all those
other home-grown veggies are
absolutely wonderful, too!
We are absolutely in awe of your gardening!!! What a blessing it must be for your family. We are awaiting an invite ( ;) ) for some of that Ice cream!!! Yummmmmm....
Loved all the wonderful pictures, especially the one of Willie and the t.v. set.
Much Love to All!!
Tracy for the Graves
Happy Birthday Margaret, I'm glad we got to enjoy one of your celebrations with you. The garden is definitely a blessing, Wow!!! I love the little Willie Rogers, he is sooooo cute. Enjoying your blog, the Stokesies
Well, Willie the Kid and the TV was just too cute!!
Love the garden pics but especially enjoyed the saga of the chicken shepherd; it was so silly!
Mary, please make us some ice cream when you come up here...dabble around with coffee flavor for your poor Aunt Katie who can't get Starbucks ice cream around here.
Love,
Aunt Katie
Hey Mary!
As always, great post! William has grown up SO MUCH since we've seen y'all. It's been way too long!
Your ice cream looks like the best ever!! You'll have to teach us girls your secret. :)
And I loved the garden pictures as always. :) Excellent work!
Love,
~M~
Wonderful post and pics.
Loved the one of CJ watching for the hawks with the weed in his mouth. He looks like such a natural.
Every time I see that garden it gets better and better!! I'm still jealous.
The pic of wills as Roy is precious.
The spider is GROSS!!
The chocolate chip mint ice cream is my fave, but I'm with Aunt Katie, coffee ice cream with dark chocolate would be devine!!
The storm pic is great!! I love when those storms come through. Just don't like drivin in them.
Well, that's all for now.
Love y'all,
Mrs. P
