The weather gave us a nice show during dinner

...and evening light on the house....

The cemetery

Henry mowing

Franz and his trash, all loaded!

Kids and fire....

Some of the spoils of metal detection!

Grandma's lupines

And her freshly plowed garden

Celebrating her birthday with CUPCAKES

And in her cute new birthday outfit from Omama

Leo doubts the driving abilities of Henry the chauffeur

Sylvie's turtle
