Blooms in the Pumpkin Patch

I have blooms in my pumpkin patch. :-) Hope this means I'm going to have lots of pumpkins this fall. I'm afraid that the geese might eat them but I hope they don't because I'd really like to have my own pumpkins this fall. They already ate my first watermelon bloom. :-( I heard my brother plans on selling the baby geese.

Here some pictures of the growing pumpkin blooms and a picture of some the pumpkin patch in the garden.

Fun in the Pool

I said it another post that I'd post a picture of the pool when it's filled up with water, so here's a picture. I've been in it about three times so far. The water has been kind of cold the times I got in it but hopefully it will get warmer as Summer goes on. I been playing in it with my two year old nephew. He loves to walk in it and shot me with a water gun that I got him.

Hornet Nest

My mom showed me this today, It's a hornet's nest that was on a corner of our front porch. My dad said he killed the hornet yesterday and it had lots of eggs on it. I'm glad he did, I hate all bees except honey bees. I really hate hornets because they are so mean.

I remember when I was a kid, I had a apple tree by my house and my family had to watch where we stepped because the hornets on the fallen apples would fly up at us and try there best to sting us. I was stung a few times and there stings made us swell up like you where hit by a big rock or something. I've always had a fear of bees.

Filling up the Pool on Father's Day

Got are small pool out today and having it filled up with water as I type this blog entry.

Won: Wallies peel & stick chalkboard panels and chalk

Got a win today in the mail. Won a package of Wallies peel & stick chalkboard panels and chalk (ARV $17). It was a one time email entry from a Family Circle Magazine sweepstakes. I was 1 of 59 winners. The sweepstakes ended April 16th.

I like it and I may put it on my closet door but I'm not really sure where I'll put it right now.

A DHL delivery van stopped by my house today. I won a scary movie called: The Orphanage. I won it from a online sweepstakes from HorrorTalk.com
