Some July photos

Here are the squash plants and a few peppers above. Opal likes to look for zucchini deep down in the leaves.

Here are the tomato plants with squash in the foreground. John just did a major weeding in the garden - he got out there with lots of machinery and it looks much better. So far we have harvested onions, potatoes, snap peas, green beans, kale, chard, lettuce, a little broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes. It has been quite fun and I already have a list of lessons learned for next year.

4th of July! We attended the Burnam family picnic once again - this was our 4th year in a row. Opal loved setting off the little fireworks like poppers that you throw on the ground and sparklers. She is still a bit afraid of the loud ones. And Iris was deathly afraid of the loud ones.

Crazy sweaty kids

The rest of these are all random from the summer

Gamere, John's Grandmother, came in to Columbia to visit. Opal was not a happy camper about getting a photo here. The photos before this one are grumptacular.
