Friday we had a big day. We started out with a sewing lesson, then went on to pick R up for an overnight. R is K's friend who has a birthday tomorrow. Since they have sold their house, are building another and are in-between and living temporarily at her grandparent's house, a girl party wasn't to be this year. We decided to do a reverse party for her. We had her come on over and enjoy having a birthday girl celebration with us.
We went to the park near the hangar and played on the play equipment, then we had lunch together.

| We watched the blimp come in for a landing (look at the guys pulling the ropes) and very soon . . . |
 |
| . . . it took off again! |
 |
| And away she goes! |
 |
| Pardon the poor photo, but the hummingbird moths are back. Hummingbirds were nectaring at the butterfly bush today, too. |
 |
| A red spotted purple. Not a typical find for us. We've also had summer azure as a regular visitor, a monarch fly-by and a red admiral. The average cabbage whites have been around. |
 |
| Today K caught a tailless yellow swallowtail. |
 |
| The cupflower is blooming. |
 |
| So is the aster. |
 |
| This was earlier in the week. |
 |
| This is today. Hello dinner! |
 |
| The girls at the park. R would be the upside down child. |
 |
The girls made brownies, by R's request. They were a bit lavish with the sprinkles, but they were delicious!
Our weekend was good! We hope yours was, too! |

The Goodyear blimp?!? How cool is THAT?!? Does it always "dock" there, or whatever a blimp does?
Great pictures, beautiful garden!!
I see you have the bumbley bees as well. :o)
How wonderful of you all to have R over to celebrate her day. One look at the photo of the brownies and my teeth started aching. All I could think was "crunch"! Hee hee! :o)
Love the flower shots, and am jealous of your squash. Yum!
Heidi,
It is one of the hangars and the primary one around here, so yes-- the Goodyear blimp lives there. Having grown up around the land of the blimp, it's a usual sky ornament for us.
I still laugh when K was little. She came running to me to let me know that the Bestday blimp was out. "Goodyear?" "Yes!" I loved that she accidentally subbed out words for the name that truly made sense.
:)
