Mothra

I found this little guy while we were planting yesterday. He is so beautiful!!! We have some incredible moths around here. I like leaving the porch light on to see what will come around.....but Tom hates it :)
Oh, and for a Hawk update, he is still here! He was very active yesterday while we were outside. It was neat to watch him glide over the hills in search of food.

Ladscaping.....

We decided to do a little a landscaping today, we put down some edger blocks, a few azalea bushes, some hostas, a butterfly bush and some mulch.








Here's the baby Cantaloupe update......still growing and getting bigger!!
We've had lots of good zucchini and yellow squash lately, haven't tried the jalapenos yet!!

A quick update.......

Life here has been really hectic and busy lately. Our garden has been growing like crazy, we are very grateful for all of the rain!!

Here's some Yellow squash
Roma Tomatoes



Cantaloupe(first time we've ever grown melons)




Some big tomatoes



Zucchini (we steamed one with dinner this evening. I can't wait to make some bread too, I'm sure that we'll have plenty. Anyone know of any good recipes??)




Jalapenos




Gotta love that our douche bag neighbor put this huge white spaceship looking shed behind his house. I'm thinking about sneaking over there in the middle of the night with my paint sprayer and painting it all hunter green.




We planted a raspberry bush almost two years ago. last year we got a few good ones off of it, but this year it has really taken off, we've managed to get a couple of good handfuls so far and there are more to come!!!





The 4th of July we went, with a couple of friends, to Cincinnati. We got to see Emo, Mitzie, Julia, Riley, Dad and Deb. Thanks to Mom we got great seats to two Reds Games and stayed at her apt. which is only one block from the Great American Ball Park!!

This is us on the Roof of Mom's building



The Great American Ball Park, and in the backgroud is Paul Brown Stadium(where the Bengals get beat)






Dawn, Marcus, Trish and I


Reds Vs. St. Louis Cardinals



The view from Mom's Balcony, that's the Purple People Bridge that takes you to Newport(home of the Hofbrau Haus)


Trish had a hair appt. this week!! Here's my beautiful wife........(I'm thinking she took somewhere between 4 and 8 inches off!!!)


I went to the barber and got a little trim. After he cut my hair it was obvious that I needed a beard trim, Here's a before and after.........
