What is it with these beards?

Our produce is doing well in spite of the weeds all around them. Here are Steve, Wendy and Wally at Farmers Market.

A Dentist's dream

Wendy looks like she is having to try hard to beat the pro!

We are at the Stampede's carnival watching people go on the crazy rides.

Wendy's growing up!

Greg and Wally went fishing at a place on the reservstion where they feed the fish and they are a cross between salmon and trout. Dick, and Greg got their's right away and Wally fished and fished. Then he saw a big one swimming by so he grabbed a net and scooped it up and said "I got mine!!!"

Sarah had more fun with frogs while she was here. She had five in a container in here one evening and when we got up the next morning there were only 4!!! Never did find the other 4:-(

SUMMER VISITS

Here is Greg and Wally at Farmer's Market. I will post more pictures tomorrow. My computer is so slow, it takes forever to just put these three pictures. We really enjoyed having first Steve and Wendy's visit, then Greg and Sarah's.

Wendy and Sarah in Spokane.

The hairy brothers:-)

Idaho Pictures

Here are a few of the pictures taken in Idaho a couple of weeks ago. Kinlee didn't know what to think of us. I like the picture of Deacon on Matt;s lap. We had a wonderful time but wish we could have visited with Rusty and Brendi more.

Rattle Rattle

About a week ago we saw a big "bull" snake in our garden. That was okay. Then today Wally spotted a snake just under the edge of the house, where I had a sprinkler going all night. I started tugging on it trying to pull it out so I could see how long it was.....and then I spotted the rattles. 8 of them. The guy that was painting our house pulled it out with a shovel and d-headed him. He was NOT the one we saw in the garden.

Here is Wally with his new toy. The first picture is his new tractor. It can do a lot of things that will save a lot of work. Unfortuneately the first day he really used it, he stayed on it for about 4 hours straight and now his back is hurting. The second picture is the guys enjoying birthday cake. This white cold frame is like the one he is building. We drove up to Tonasket to check out this one that a guy has who has been bringing tomatoes, watermelons, etc to the market really early. This guy had 275 tomato plants in his, each one suspended by a little pully to lower the plants and raisw them to pick. A little too involved for us but he has fun.

Only the beginning

Here Wally is screwing some of the big pipes that will be the frame of the cold frame. It is HUGE! Today he managed to get three of them up that you see only one in the picture below and it was hard. It took all day! Hard work for an old man and his only occasional help from an old woman.

A Big Head!

This is our second big head of broccoli. It tastes so yummy. We'll be selling some at farmers Market Saturday. We have about 25 plants and they just keep bearing all summer. It's just that the heads get smaller but it is still good.

POTATOE MAN

Here is Wally, working, working, working in his potatoe patch. We have little potatoes about the size of golf balls. That is the view in back of him of the valley that we can see now that the bushes are gone. I like it. Everything is pretty open around here now.

I am still trying to get this figured out. Bear with me. I even have trouble leaving messages on each of your blogs. Wish they'd ;eft it alone:0(

Brand New Blog

We have a new blog but for some reason the text didn't go on the first post. We'll see if this goes on. Why does this have to be so hard:(

Happy Birthday Brendi

Well, I now have a brand new blog. Just couldn't get into the old one to add anything so my new address will be robinsonsblog-diane.blogspot.com from now on. Guess our other one will just have to live out in space forever. Have a great birthday tomorrow, Brendi.
