tree limbs and more birthdays!

We had some friends over, I did not know it was the day after Donna's Bday, but we had dinner and ice cream. And. while she and Ashleigh did the dishes (wonderful fronds!!!), Steve and Leon and Jon removed a tree limb or two! In spite of the gashes..it did end well and the tree looks great! Jon really was there..he was just keeping out of the danger zone!


When the branch fell (see second photo) Steve was dubbed by the fall.

This week, Steve had a birthday. I made a cake and took it to the shop, but the cake was warm and the m&m's stating his age slid off..so, it read 4-something. It was pretty tasty anyway! We had a thunderstorm on Sunday night and on Monday it was really windy. So windy, we lost another tree limb! Jon moved that without cutting it up. At dinner (and after dinner) we had more visitors and this birthday for Steve cake had brighter numbers. We used up a bunch of stray candles and made a 45..we did have 54 candles, but as they were assorted sizes, we decided to just make the shapes of the numbers. It was fun!


This blogging thing is being a bear. The photos are harder to put on, so this will be all for a bit. Am reading Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles. Gotta love Cimorene and Kazul!
