Early July

We went to Larriland Farms to pick some blackberries and plums! So, why some many pictures of Richie in a plum tree? Well, one of Richie's favorite morning activities is to pretend to climb a plum tree and pick various fruits for breakfast. No, the tree is not limited to plums. There is almost always a few watermelons up there, bananas, apples, strawberries, grapes and multicolored plums. The multicolored part is key, by the way.

Thus, having the opportunity to be in an actual plum tree was particularly special...and next to impossible to bring to an end. Obviously, I didn't take any pictures/movies of the aftermath. ;-)

Late June

Here I am working night-shift moonlighting. Yes, that does mean some extra scratch! The shift runs from 1a till 7a and so I have a time to get caught up here and with other chores around my office. Late spring we had the Blue Angels performing a show over at Ft. Mc Henry. The practiced one day and Richie saw some of it from our deck, but he actually slept through the real show which was loud as crazy! Here are some shots of the 1.5 hours show. He did not even stir. All of these were from our back deck.
