the grass in the soccer field behind our house is some kind of insane mosquito factory. walking home from the bus, I got dozens of bites from the little buggers.

I blew up this giant 4′ diameter plastic sphere hamster wheel for the boy, and now he’s having a blast rolling around the yard in it. He wants to sleep in it…

we resod part of the back yard, repairing some of the damage done by the Big Dog. Now it’s safe to patch it back up…

we rode our bikes down to Home Depot this morning, taking the scenic route along a branch of 12 Mile Coulee as it winds through our community. Beautiful morning for a ride!
