we decided it was a good night to forgo the madison bicentennial activities tonight and just relax on the porch. we have packed alot into the week so far and The Boy just needed some play time.

we refilled the pool, it was getting pretty nasty with all the bugs and grass it has collected in the last week, checked out our garden growth, looking good mysquash is starting to come up as are the pumpkins and peas.

i also made an awesome discovery, there are wild raspberries in the brush area on the back of our property line! yum, they look like they will be ready in about a week or 2.
