Yellow Ribbon

One of my neighbors had asked me months ago when was Josh going to be deployed. I said when you see a yellow ribbon on my lamp post that means he is deployed. When the ribbon is red, white, and blue that means he is back! Cannot wait to change it!

Yes, I know this cactus is too large. Just don't know how to get it out sticking myself.

My garden

This is looking at the tomatoes then the pumpkins (which really cannot be seen) toward the house.
This one looks ready. It is too early. Hope it keeps
Here is a really green one. This plant is a volunteer way out where I had some volunteers last year!
If you look carefully, you can see a green pumpkin in the foreground and the orange one just a bit back. I think they are from the same plant! Strange
This is looking from the house to the pumpkin patch. I planted 3 hills from a pumpkin I grew last year. That pumpkin grew from seeds of one that Feliciana grew at her house the year before!

Back to San Diego

Jordan's stuff packed up and ready to put into his pick-up for the trip back to school in San Diego.
Of course, he has to take his skim board!
A few snacks and his Sutter County ice chest. A cardboard box lined with foil and insulated with newspaper. He did not want to take an ice chest so I improvised. He took some frozen food and snacks.


Have a safe trip. He did.

Water Slide

Yes, he is tall enough for this water slide. And, yes, he knows the rules. He just wants to slide!
After climbing up, he is ready to slide.
Here he comes for the splash down!
Swimming to the ladder to get out.
Out he comes. He was ready to go again and again and again...

Swimming in Davis

I took Julian and Feliciana to Davis one Sunday. We went with Em and kids to the local pool. It is a beautiful pool. Lots of grass and shade. It has a diving pool, a zero-entry pool, and a large general swimming pool. That pool has laps roped off for lap swimmers and a water slide area!
Velia didn't get in the water this day. She relaxed on the blanket
Velia started fussing so Julian held her while trying to eat his dinner. What a cousin!

Davis

Went to Davis to pick up Nonnie. Got a few pictures while I was there.


This is the only picture I have of the siblings together.

Such a cutie.
