Summer

     We are in the midst of our summer hosting.  Can't believe we are geting ready to celebrate the 4th of July already.  Lots of parades and fireworks around the Black Hills.  We prefer the Belle Fourche Parade.  It is a bit of a drive but well worth it.  It is a great full fledged parade with candy, politicians, horses and a water fight going on throughout with the culmination of wetness occuring when the fire departments go by.
     Our grandchildren were here last week.  Yes, their parents were here too.  We did the full Silver City experience - inner tubing, ATV riding, fishing, hiking, mountain biking on trail #40.  The fishing was great with all fish caught eaten for dinner.  For one grandson that was the highlight as he even used a knife for the first time to gut the fish, great yuck factor.
     The garden, as usual, gets a bit out of control and all control freaks are welcome to visit it and whip it into shape.  It is fun to spend time down there with the hummingbirds whipping around.
