#2 ◱ A deer came into the picnic area. Lois took this picture through the window and then went outside and took a movie of it. You can see a very good shot of the picnic area. Here is the movie clip. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZfHMi5dlfM
#10 ◱ It was fun watching it sip from the red hot poker plant.
#11 ◱ Although blurry, I loved this shot since it was just hanging there staring at me.
#12 ◱ This is a far away shot, but it is a heron flying over Rosewold.
#13 ◱ There are usually turkey buzzards flying overhead.
#14 ◱ We worked in the picnic area and then took a break by eating so-mores. Meanwhile, Joseph was burning the edge of the bricks with a flame torch. We decided that wasn't the best way to trim the grasses. :-)
#21 ◱ We were standing in the picnic area and this car drove by and Lois and Don thought it was Akiko, but it didn't look like Akiko driving. So Lois asked Joseph who that was and he said something about someone he works with or something. I assumed the friends would park and walk to the picnic area. Next thing we knew, Daniel, Ann, Eva, Adele, and Calvin walked into the picnic area. :-)
#22 ◱ We gave them tours of Rosewold and it's buildings. Then we went inside to start dinner.
#23 ◱ It was a wonderful surprise. Our kids are sure full of surprises. :-) Thank you Daniel and Ann for coming.
