    We finished our Lemon Aid stand this weekend. (7/23) and collected $260 bucks for the homeless kids.

    It was a lot of fun. Though about one hour into the last stand in front of Wal Mart, Georgia, turns to Sarah and says, "If Mommy does another lemonade stand, I am staying home with Daddy."
    She had enough and it was enough. We stayed four hours at Wal Mart. It was our biggest day for cash donations.
    Most folks gave money, we drank the lemonade. It was really hot.
    We sold Pink lemonade, Watermelon and bubble gum.

    Later, we settled into the house. Dwayne and the kids ran around like crazies, burning off some energy after dinner time.

    Georgia has been exploring the Arts. We let her color on the walls with chalk and recently she has taken some pictures.
    Here are some examples of her original work:

    I will take some pictures of her wall art tonight.

    This is my garden.
    I am pleased for the most part. The string beans are too high for me to harvest alone (8ft). I am short. (5ft)
    The potatoes did really well.
    I will not have to buy seed for next year, for anything but I will need a hot box to get them started.
    Still looking for some old windows to repurpose for my mini greenhouse.
    I think there is a possum eating my green tomatoes. I was expecting four reds by this weekend and they are gone. Not a trace. Oh well, everyone has to eat.
