Creepy


This spider has made his home over our compost heap. The web is really neat, but the spider is kind of...creepy.

We stained the deck!

It was a good day to do it, nice and cool in the morning and not so bad in the afternoon. Jeremy helped us as well, which made it go much faster. We miscalculated how much stain we needed and had to run to Lowe's for another gallon.
Before:


That's Kirk's air compresser in the middle of the deck. He cleaned out the cracks with it.

Kirk says hello!

After:
It really needed to be stained.

Another After Shot
I can't belive how much better it looks!

Fruit Salad on a Stick


We had a BBQ for Labor Day weekend. One of the most popular dishes we served was this fruit salad on a stick thing I made. I hollowed out a cantaloupe, and put the cantaloupe pieces with some other fruit on those cheap-o wooden skewers, then stuck the skewers into the empty cantaloupe shell. It drew oohhhh and ahhhhs like crazy, and it could not have been easier to make! But if anybody asks, it took hours.
