Javin was running on the dangerous side of life today. He spent the afternoon in Mimi's tree making a tree house. But ended taking a hard fall, so that was the end of that.

Then he moved on to daredevil swinging. I snapped some pictures then he fell off of that too. Kailyn joined right in and added her upside down swinging number. All in all, we only ended up with bumps and bruises, although he was just sure he broke his arm during the tree incident.

Always finish with a bow!

I, on the other hand, made some progress on my Slope O Weeds. It now has a section cleared away that will soon be the Slope O Ribbon Grass, thanks to Charlene's generous donation. One person's trash is another's treasure. She was so happy to get rid of it and it will be perfect for hill. The green vegetation on the right side of the picture was how this section of the hill looked this morning.

My irises opened up this week. They are so pretty. My mystery plants started blooming this week too. This plant emerged after a year that I planted alyssum and nierembergia, which are annuals. I left the alyssum in the ground all winter and it never died. I think the 2 mixed and now I have my own version - a hardy, spreading variation of alyssum. I've got pink, red and white flowers. The only downfall is that is doesn't bloom for very long. If anyone wants a start, just let me know.
