Spoiled Dog

This is Pudger's favorite spot in the house so he can stare out the window and bark at EVERYONE in sight! Can you tell he's bugging me right now?

Jam making

I know........I know..........whoever thought they would see the day when I, Ashley, would be making homemade jam? Actually, it's freezer jam, so it's a lot easier to make. But still! John begged me into making it, and he devoured a whole jar in 2 days! It really is delicious! If I would have known it was sooo easy to make, I would have started making this stuff years ago!

Independence Day in Virginia Beach

We went to Mt. Trashmore in Virginia Beach to see the fireworks. YES, you heard me right! MT. TRASHMORE! Apparently it is called that because it used to be a landfill. A little disgusting I know! It still grosses me out thinking about it. But at least we got to see fireworks. A lot of the shows in our area got cancelled due to heavy rain. Of course, the firework show was 20 minutes, and then we sat in the car for 2 HOURS waiting to get out of the parking lot! Oh well. We had fun anyway!

I planted a tomato plant from seed earlier this spring, and my first tomato has finally appeared! I'm soooo proud of myself!
