We couldn't think of a more typical American meal. They loved it and Anna's father (the only one who spoke English) told us that they had turkeys in Sweden but didn't eat them!!!! We never asked why! We asked Erik, however, when he came back -- so now we know the answer!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-52509784712231301442010-06-30T21:25:20.832-04:002010-06-30T21:25:20.832-04:00What a great post!

The little fawn is so sweet ... he would be welcome to my lawn any time. And yikes! I've been feeding peanuts to a rather sweet little chipmunk this year ... never occurred to me that he's probably going to feel quite welcome to my tomatoes when they are ripe! :SRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631771953626754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-12669204015781100952010-06-30T09:31:50.777-04:002010-06-30T09:31:50.777-04:00What a wonderful post, Cass.

And I know what you mean about too many coats of paint. I have a few old painted pieces in the yard and I know it's the paint that is holding them together. I don't water the front lawn in the summer either. It's just too expensive and it greens up after the first rain.<br /><br />Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675573152135600754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-83573866150649570542010-06-30T08:01:22.118-04:002010-06-30T08:01:22.118-04:00We have a massive chipmunk problem this year also....We have a massive chipmunk problem this year also. So far they haven't found the tomatoes yet. Right now they are just running up and down my trees and downspouts - I know I'm going to find one in my house one of these days.<br /><br />I love that you pratice tough love on the grass. My husband tells me that the farmers would laugh at me if I watered our grass (since we live in a rural area). When we lived in a housing development I watered religiously.Pam Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830005036551331029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-89513299839796662752010-06-30T07:59:10.242-04:002010-06-30T07:59:10.242-04:00Cass~Dion is just the sweetest little dog and he e...Cass~Dion is just the sweetest little dog and he eats his veggies, too!!<br />I like your father's philosophy on the grass!!<br />Fondly,<br />Ann<br />@<br />The Tattered TasselAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098058028603358417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-38500854833895375092010-06-30T07:09:52.025-04:002010-06-30T07:09:52.025-04:00Cass,

Today is supposed to be beautiful so we are off to take some pictures later.<br /><br />I can truly identify with the tomato disappointment. Last year I tried heirloom tomatoes and had 3 absolute beauties almost ready to pick. I was sitting on the porch and out of the corner of my eye I saw a crow stab one with his beak, fly a few feet away, and fling it onto a rock - just like a seagull with a shell. I yelled, I ranted and yes I swore!! The next day all were gone. The chipmunks gnawed on the cherry tomatoes.<br /><br />I gave up on tomatoes. Now the squirrels are burying nuts right next to the zinnias!<br /><br />Have a great 4th!<br /><br />CarolCarol at Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693184377823215010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-10529880651351143732010-06-30T06:56:44.284-04:002010-06-30T06:56:44.284-04:00Lucky you, if we didn't water in Texas, we wou...Lucky you, if we didn't water in Texas, we would be a dessert.
