Hi Chris and Holly So glad that you all had a great time going for dinner on Sunday. Sounds like a fun time. Our kids went back to school today. The bus must have changed its route because it didn't come back our road this morning. We missed seeing it. But there are no kids back here anymore that go to school so I am sure they have changed the route not to include our road. The bus always turned around in our driveway. Having spaghetti for dinner tonight. John mentioned he was hungry for it. Not making my own sauce this time. We went shopping this morning for decorations for the corn roast. I found some really pretty table cloths at the Dollar Store. I got a few other things as well for on the tables. I am so excited to be hosting the corn roast. I love having company and I don't get the chance very often. I hope the kids all have a great school year. I can't believe the Kayla is a senior. My goodness it just seems like yesterday she was just a little girl helping you in the kitchen. She has sure turned into a beautiful lady. And now the triplets are starting school. I am sure that will be quite the adjustment for Mom!! Love all the picture of your accomplishments in the garden. The sunflowers are absolutely beautiful. Love how you captured the butterfly as well. I still haven't been able to capture the pheasants but am hoping one of these days to sneak up on them. They are quick little buggers and as soon as I open the door to go out on the deck, they take off.

Went to Tractor Supply and got bird seed for the little birds today. I also got a new tube feeder for the small birds. I was using a bigger feeder for birdseed but the bigger birds were chasing the little ones away. So with the tube feeder, the big birds won't be able to eat at it. So hopefully the little birds will be able to get a snack now again.

Take care and I hope your Tuesday is going well. Hugs--John Debbie Mya and Allie
