Good grief. I went an entire month without blogging about this crazy family? What a difference a year makes, huh? I have good intentions every night but then 9:00 pm rolls around and I'm soooo tired. But here we are with an feeble attempt to get caught back up.
Will's baseball season wrapped up a few weeks ago but that has to be its own post this week because I have so many pictures! And we're still not completely over the tough ending to the season. Spoiler alert, Will's team lost to the #1 seed and then lost again the next day and Reina (suddenly a superfan) cried.
Reina participated in a week-long theater camp and the cast put together a fun little play about a 1940's radio show and a murder! Gasp! More pictures of that next time too.
What else have we done with our July? Glenn fished a few times, we took some hikes. Our garden is growing lots and lots of zucchini. One of the chickens is broody again. Charlie is still a hot little mess but also still cute. Trigger got so many weeds stuck in his hair that I borrowed dog clippers from Vicky and shaved him. No pictures right now but needless to say, I won't be considering dog grooming as a post-retirement profession. He looked like he'd been attacked but only in certain places. I started to shave Tootsie's hind end but then Glenn suggested that I put the clippers down so the other dogs were spared the haircut humiliation.
We laid pretty low for Frontier Days this year. CFD was celebrating their 125 anniversary and there were a lot of big names for the concerts but we stayed home. Reina went to the carnival for one night with some friends. Between the large crowds and the covid variant, we kept our distance. If this blog serves as a time capsule, we are entering another weird moment in this pandemic. The Delta variant is racing across the US and case numbers are climbing again. We know a few people who have been vaccinated but still tested positive. Their symptoms haven't been bad but they've felt pretty rotten for a few days and have had to quarantine again. All four of us are vaccinated but at this point, I'm worried about unvaccinated little kiddos and the immunocompromised adults in our life. And I don't want to get it after all of this careful time! So it looks like we'll be back to masking in public places and sanitizing our hands every few minutes. (I want to write a long political diatribe but this is a family blog so I'll just sum it up with ARGGGGGHHHHHHH)
Happy pictures coming soon.
