A Very Nice Weekend

 At 70 years young, 
I purchased my very first kayak.

I have never been in one,

but decided the I wasn't getting any

younger . . . so, if I wanted to try it . . .

Now is the time!

See the white on the water,

that is the reflection of the clouds.

 This photo shows them better. 

 Here I am heading back into the main lake.

It was a beautiful day,

and I had a ball.

I hope that I can inspire some of you

to check something off your bucket list

this summer. 

I am so happy I did this and I'm looking

forward to many kayaking adventures.

This is my kayaking friend.

She has been kayaking for a year and is

my partner in fun :) 

When I gave  you the garden tour  
in my last post.
I didn't take photos of my tomato garden,
because it was filled with weeds.

 I have a total of 26 tomato plants in the ground.
I raised them all from seeds,
and even had some left to give away.

 This is a self seeded onion
that came up in the herb garden.
I just think it is so pretty.
Too bad it doesn't smell nice enough
to add to a bouquet.

While I was mowing the yard, 
I came across these.
I saw a beauty in them that I thought
deserved a photo :)  

 We have already been eating 
onions and peas from the garden.

My Steve spent two full 12 hours days 
smoking pork butts for a friend's 
daughter's graduation party.
That's what he was doing when I
went out kayaking with my girlfriend.

Next week he is smoking a whole pig 
for a 50th birthday party.

That's what happens when you build
a big smoker like this one.
He enjoys doing it and he smokes 
some mighty fine meat in that thing.
Whole chickens are my favorite.

Well, enough about me . . .
My post is finished.
I hope you like it and that you 
will leave a comment.
Now I can go visit and see what 
you have been up to.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
