Ahh...Summer

Love summer and all the green and all the flowers and even the heat! Took some more yard pictures. About as interesting as a parade float without people on it or in it or whatever.
Backyard looks peaceful and quiet and a place you would like to spend some time.
More backyard shots. Well..... beyond the fence is a Jr. High School and they are adding a big addition to it this summer. Ahh, summer...TIME FOR CONSTRUCTION!

We like to sleep with our bedroom windows open at night but each morning between 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. the CONSTRUCTION BEGINS........BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! as the big machinery backs up and the SCRAPING, BANGING, or whatever, continues all day long.... So much for our peaceful backyard this year!


This is the lovely sight behind our fence. Be nice when it's done for the kids going there but don't see how it will be in just 3 weeks.



Another joy of summer is road construction. Getting around gets frustrating but I guess it has to be done sometime. Ahh....summer!!!

I've decided those construction vehicles never actually drive forward, but are always in reverse for all the beeping they do.

Ahh summer, 2 weeks left for me & I'm not too sad about it!!!! It will be nice to get Sarah into school & keep her busy again. And, it will be nice to come sit in your somewhat peaceful backyard once the construction is done, but then it will be students out there. At least they don't beep.
