Tid Bits of Summer in Pictures

#1. The House On The Hill......
Work continues sporadically and I'm beginning to understand why one person who commented on my earlier post about house building said it will be interesting to hear all the lessons we learn while building a house (or something of that nature).

#2. It now looks like this....

#3. And we look like this....
I wish I had better pictures of that day. It was HOT and some people had almost as much black, tar-y paint on them as the basement walls did!

#4. All hands on deck! Need any walls put up? We can handle it!

#5. Then there was Mud and Stuck Skid Loaders...

# 6 and 7. But life is not all about building Houses On Hills. We had a day at the Columbus Zoo.... a Cold Day. Have you ever been cold at a zoo??? According to some people it's better than being hot at the zoo....

#8. What you do with your picnic tablecloth when you are Cold at the Zoo....

#9. Then we had cozy times on the floor...

#10. And stacks of library books...

#11. And object lessons for story at Summer Bible School (Meet Envious Emily, Angry Andy and Carl Christian. They can help you understand how what is inside of you will come out!)

#12. And last (but not at least) thanks to tedious scavangering of bushes and banks and braving tall weeds and briars, we have wild raspberry pie!

All in all Summer has been quite good to us.

THAT COLD at the zoo?? When did you go, in June?
Last but not least, I'll take a piece of that yummy pie.:-) Thank-you!!

We went last Saturday. It was rainy in the morning and just stayed overcast and windy all day! I'd share the pie if it stayed around long enough to be shared :)
