Mowing Uncle Ron/Aunt June's yard

Without having the boys here to tell me why they took this picture, it just looks like a stump with bird poop on it, but I know there was something else in this picture and that's why they took it! Otherwise, its a neat picture of a stump if you like that sort of thing.

If you look real close, you can see the bunny the boys found in the grove at Uncle Rons'......and yes, they did more searching for things out there then they did mowing, but that's ok....It was a fun afternoon - weather was great and the boys were occupied while we were busy mowing....

Isaac in front of some bushes.....can you tell they enjoyed themselves? Martin brought his camera along, and suddenly the boys were off into the grove with the camera....they came back with these great pictures (there are plenty more of the grove, but I didn't want to bore you with them)...

Josiah trying to hide amongst the bushes...

A 'pathway' in the grove. So green, beautiful and peaceful.....The boys said we need to come back here this fall and get our family pictures taken in here somewhere, so I guess we'll have to talk to Uncle Ron and Aunt June about that.

Isn't this tree beautiful? Its so gigantic and is the first tree that welcomes you to their place.....By the way, this was/is my Grandparents place. And once my Grandfather passed away (when I was 5), and my Grandma moved into town, my Uncle Ron and Aunt June took over the family farm. Its beautiful. I have always loved it and have fond memories of coming out here to play with the baby kittens, chasing their dog, Tippie, and going into the barns to see the pigs....Even going into the hay-mow on occasion....Unfortunately, times change and there is nothing in the barns but birds and wondering cats now.....

Ok, so the real reason for bringing the camera along were to get some pictures of these beautiful baby kittens that were born out here......The mama is an orange and white cat (who wants to be petted, but hisses at you!) My Dad has been feeding her lately and has finally been able to pet her while she's being fed and our boys got to hold one or two of the baby kittens. (I think she had 4 of them). But this is where the kittens can be found and they were here when we first got to the farm (a gray one and a orange/white one ~ whom we've already named Stanley cuz he looks like our first cat that died).......The boys saw them, but couldn't get them to come out from their nice hiding spot. Then the lawnmowers were started, and the kittens were never seen....We did see the mama cat running out of the machine shed where the food is kept, so we know she was there......

Even Isaac helped mow.

I helped mow......

And Martin was on Uncle Ron's rider getting the lawn al nice and pretty.....Too bad we can't kill those darn dandelions though, man are they terrible!

And by the way, Uncle Ron is my Dad's youngest brother.......He's my Uncle, but is a Great Uncle to my boys......We've had great memories out here getting a cat from them 2 years ago - our famous Cadillac! :) He came from Uncle Ron/Aunt June's farm and is the best cat ever! He is very mellow and loves to be lazy!!!
