Tomato

Our Yellow Pear Tomato is really growing!  It has flowers.

It sure likes the sunny spot next to one of the garages. 

We have a very busy week with many doctor appointments...six over a couple of days. 

We are both tired of Doctors. Do this... do that... hurry up and wait.

Late Lilac

 I mowed the yard and one other area on Monday.  The weeds in the rocks near the house needed some attention.  

Daisies are allowed along the edge until they look scraggly or someone is an overachiever when trimming:)

The Late Lilac is in full bloom.  Funny that the deer don't eat them too.

We took Tilly out for a cruise to A & W for lunch.  

What's cooking? Ribs, salad and raspberries. 

Minnesota weather: High 77F or 25C     Low 46 F or 8C

Petunias

 My Petunias are missing...here one day gone the next.  

The deer must not like Snapdragons. 

As I was grieving for my Petunias...I noticed a possible culprit.  She looks innocent enough.

We had a quiet Sunday...we stopped by to see she who sees robins first...she is recovering from her knee replacement.  Aubrey is doing well also...she is still on a liquid diet...her Doctor says she is doing great! 

What's cooking?  Nothing as we usually go to our favorite outdoor patio place for Sunday lupper!

Minnesota weather: High 70F or 21C           Low 51F or 11C

Dog Sitter/Treat Lady

 My baby brother and his bride had a day of Doctor appointments. 

Good thing their dogs love me...I am a good substitute ball player treat giver.

Baxter

And his delinquent sister.

 Smudge

She has to twirl while waiting for you to throw her ball. 

The treats I give out are Cherrios which are almost no calories. 

They are good about doing their business and staying near me outside.

Dogs are a good distraction for me.  

Minnesota weather: It turned cool.  High 59F or 15C   Low was 44F or  7C.

What's Cooking:  Hobo Dinners one night...my favorite, Far Guy not so much.  Ribs and French Fries with peaches for dessert last night.

How I make the Hobo Dinner...on a piece of foil stack a hamburger patty, cover with sliced potatoes and carrots...enclose in the foil  I put the packets on a cookie sheet just in case one leaks then bake about 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees...when they are done top with your favorite cheese.  You can add onions, different meat, veggies what ever floats your boat.  It is an easy meal with easy clean up!

June 13

 A very special day remembered for so many years with a "party."

This is a photo of Far Guy's paternal Grandmother... Theresa or Tracie.  She is showing off her Dahlias just North of the house. 

She loved her birthday and a "party"  everyone that could would gather at the farm or at her apartment in later years for a gathering to celebrate her. 

June 13 1895 was a special day so many years ago.  She celebrated 87 birthdays!

I cannot think of a better Grandma...she was well loved.
