Cicadas

By
This is a short post, but I am fascinated by the cicadas! They LOVE our elm that is out back. They are all over it. And I have now learned that cicadas turn brown after they come out of their shells. I was convinced that I had found an albino.

Another side note, much to my happiness, my uncle has trimmed several of our trees, meaning I might be able to mow without getting all scraped up!

    Oh, you mow the lawn also, Shiloh?! So do I! I really enjoy mowing :)

    Also, I really like the background :) Did you change it?

    Yes, I mow the lawn. I really enjoy it. I wasn't the one who changed the background this time, I think Payton might have. There is a story behind the title. Maybe you can convince someone to tell it...!

    I really enjoy mowing the lawn also! It's a lot of fun, in my opinion.

    Ah, so it was you, Will, who changed the background?! Would someone PLEASE tell me why you changed it?! I would really enjoy hearing :)

    Greetings!

    I did change it John.... As for the story.... We might have to post it sometime, but I'll tell you right now here.

    We were dipping about 200 strawberries in chocolate for a baby shower and we decided to wash them... The Chocolate globs up if any wetness gets into it. So we had to dry ALL the strawberries. But we forgot to wash one package of strawberries... then Shiloh made the following statement:

    "The Ones we didn't wet aren't wet."

    That was slightly obvious... So we have teased Shiloh about it ever since.

    :) Have a great week.

Rainy Day Fun

By Payton Stitzer
Yesterday it rained hard for a while and the bottom of our street was pleasantly 'splashy'  We took our umbrellas   and took off our shoes and had a grand time soaking each other by splashing with our feet. We would run up and down the street making great waves that soaked the person in front of you.   Then Shiloh joined the fun!  Even though she didn't have a change of clothes.  (You are such a good sport!)  :)  It was so fun until our neighbor started slowing down as he passed by us...  We thought for sure he was going to tell us to stop.... but he backed up and sped by us spraying us with a huge cold wave!!!  Then he came around and did it again!  I guess not all our neighbor are too old for a little rainy day fun! After we were done we walked home holding our umbrellas above our heads, even though we were soaked to the bone.  :) Fun times!

Meet...Kylie.....

By Payton Stitzer
Or not!  She is being very bad!   She won't ........ Kylie tackled me before I could finish the post!  What a sister!  Do you  want me to tell you all the rotten things about her?  There are a lot! ~Just joking~  I really do love her.... despite her lack of desire to post. So I guess I will once again post about me, myself and I....  *Ya, I know* (Personal joke between my sister and I) I ate spaghetti for breakfast...  it is amazing how much it can look like worms when smashed in a container two sizes too small!  Then I got to wondering how robins, (And Collins)  can eat real worms... I mean the slimy type...  That makes me remember a very fun evening with my two dear friends...  And a yucky next day! I'm not exactly the best story teller....  but I think Ky or Shi, with the help of some pictures and videos could do the job!  :)  (Hint, hint, hint) OK 2nd time in a row... ...

A long-overdue new post

By
 Well, in case anyone wondered...we are all still alive! A lot has happened in the intervening !decade! I (Shiloh) live in Kansas City. I am an ultrasound technologist at Ku Med and have two dogs.  I only remembered this blog when going through my email to delete old emails. I old email notifications and decided to see if it still existed. Sure enough, there it was - alive and well - but deeply neglected.
