Beat the Kids...
Hey, I'm beating my kids at this blog thing. I'm updating my blog a lot more frequently than they are! Of course, they still beat me at getting comments... I'm surprised at how few comments I get. I guess Dubby and the kids are the only ones who ever read it. As the lint monkey might say, "Sadness".
Compare this photo below, with the tiny pink things from the second photo of the post on July 7 (far, far below), which shows the nest on my ladder in the carport. My, my, how fast they grow.
And here are the robins from the July 8 post. They are almost ready to fledge. The birds in the stick nest over the light fixture have already fledged and are long gone.
Here are the flowers that Martha planted in front of our house. The photo doesn't do justice to their beauty. Yes, that's ornamental cabbage, along with begonias, daisies, black-eyed susans, and a whole bunch of other stuff I've forgotten the names of.
The Houff's bush-hogged the hillside and meadow behind our lower-40, but this time they left the forest in the middle of the bottom field. I was out planting a couple of baby oak trees this afternoon when two young deer ran right across the yard. Didn't have my camera, of course.
I gave the talk in Sacrament yesterday, and then taught Sunday School, and then taught the Priesthood class, too. Then did tithing (I'm branch clerk), then worked on the quarterly report. I thought Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest...?
No one offered any explanation for why my muffins came out with a chewy center instead of a topping. Is everyone else as baffled as I, or have readers just "desserted" me?

Robins do grow fast. Very nice pictures you post also. As to the topping maybe you should put in on after the muffins have cooked a little bit or even when they are done so the topping does not sink again. Just my thoughts.
Yeah, I don't know the first thing about cooking--I'm terrible at it! I appreciate your blog updates, though. Your posts fun to read, and I really like the pictures!
Nuts were too big and you the topping was too heavy -- too much butter and you put it on too thickly. The topping needs to be light and go on easy.
Nice pictures! Those baby robins are cute!
