(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday - Family

From Father's Day

My husband

The dads: my brother-in-law and my dad

Nana (my mom) and her oldest granddaughter

Sisters, dancing and singing

The youngest, feeding the cows

My sister, on grill duty

(Unfortunately didn't get a good shot of my brother, but he was there!)

p.s. I finally got around to re-coloring my hair. Back to bright red and purple. The purple is underneath, so you can barely see it peeking up from my up-do.

Wordless Wednesday—German Chocolate Cake

(Well, almost wordless)
This was Dwight's birthday cake back in March and was amazing. Recipe from David Lebovitz can be found here.

(Not Quite) Wordless Wednesday—Bald Faced Hornet Nest

This started out as a small, papery tube hanging from the soffit. It kind of grew. A lot. The critters you see are called bald faced hornets. They chew on wood and turn it into a paper-like construction material. You can see that different kinds of wood make for very interesting strata lines. 

Despite the fact that these buggers have built a nest right by our garage, we haven't had any problems with them. After it gets cold, the wasps with eventually leave and/or die and won't come back, so we can knock this down. I'm really curious to see what it looks like inside!

You can click on any of the photos to see larger versions in flickr.
