How I love welcoming summertime!! As I took my EARLY morning walk, I delighted in the wildflowers blooming everywhere. To me, heaven will smell like wildflowers, honeysuckle, fresh hay and just a tad bit of cow poop!
These violet blooms remind me of the bluebonnets of Texas.
This yellow cactus is getting ready to burst forth in bloom!
I call these flowers wild snap dragons. I have no idea what their official name is. But they come in white, yellow, and pink!
One of my favorites........the "loves me - loves me not" daisy.
Walking is easy when there are wild roses to smell!
Now that warm weather is here to stay (hopefully), Wee Bob is learning the "ropes" of summertime!
#1. How to drink from a water hose.
#2. How to wash the cars and trucks.
#3. How to spend the day fishing.
All the important things a boy from the south should know!!

As Wee Bob's birthday approached, JR spent quite a bit of time wondering what to give Wee Bob for his 2nd Birthday.
Wee Bob and JR discussed quite a few options. A pony? A little four-wheeler? A swing set? It had to be the perfect gift for a little boy turning two! Finally, after many cans of Mountain Dew, known as "Dew" in the south, the decision was made to build Wee Bob his very own .............
SAND PILE! When the load of of sand arrived, Wee Bob just had to stand at the top and survey his "kingdom"! WEE-BOB, KING OF THE SAND PILE!!
Then he had to climb up and down several times.
On another day, Wee Bob tried sliding down the pile of sand.
Better yet, why not just roll down the sand hill?!! A little sand in your hair never hurt anything!!
Eventually, JR constructed a border around the sand using old railroad ties. Then he used the backhoe to smooth the sand into place leaving lots of hills for the trucks and tractors to go up and down.
Wee Bob is loving the digger and dump trucks!
The dump truck with the blue cab seems to be a favorite.
A sand pile wouldn't be complete without a beach chair and a bucket!
What a way to spend a summer afternoon -- making sand castles with mommy and......
....eating a Popsicle!
The new sand-digger arrived just in time for summer fun! Pooh is showing Wee Bob how to scoop up the sand and dump it in the dump truck.
Wee Bob is beginning to get the hang of it.
First you scoop it up and then you....
swivel to the left and dump the sand into the truck!
I have almost convinced myself that this is better than the beach! Almost. But you know what would really make it better than the beach? Our very own swimming pool!!! Are you listening JR? Hello? JR, are you with me on this? JR, are you there? Hello? Why do I get the feeling that my plea is landing on deaf ears???
(As I am writing this post, JR is putting a fence around the sand pile because you know what seem to think it is an ideal place to use the potty! How could we have thought that the cows would ignore all this wonderful, fresh, soft, white sand?)
Here's to summer fun!!
