End of Summer 2011

End of another

GREAT

Summer at Innerarity!

The Orange Beach fire was finally put out just before the 4th, 

so there were lots of vacationers down, which was great for the local economy, 

but really hard if you wanted  to eat out,

 there just weren't enough restaurants, so we did a lot of cooking!

We had a very uneventful 4th, there was no family down, but we did have a 

GREAT dinner and then watched the fireworks from our pier that night!

The weekend after the 4th was the Blue Angels weekend, you have never seen so many boats! 

The parade of boats, in front of our house, started before 8:00 in the morning! 

This is just one area where you could park your boat to see the Angels.

Lillie, Hershey and I were floating before the show started. 

They baled on me with the first flyover!

"Locals" cruising after the show or maybe they were just getting there,

 I'm sure it took a while!

After the excitement of the 4th and Blue Angels, we did what we usually do!

Ride in the Boat!

Sit on the Beach!

Float!

Float some more!

Sit some more!

Ride, float and sit some more!

Until next Summer...

A Slice of Life

Settling down after Webber's arrival!

There was another new arrival shortly after getting home from staying with

Camilla, Walker & Webber for a few days.

My first butterfly of the season hatched!

Then we headed to the beach for a few day of rest before getting back to work.

Heyward, Katherine and the girls were already there.

Even the pups had fun in the sun!

Beautiful Sunset!

We had a great weekend with the kids!

But we were very tired pups when it was over!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Yesterday  Robert and I headed out early in search of the perfect Mother's Day present.

We decided to start at Bogg's in Prattville.

We found just what we were looking for and on the way home

 stopped by a nursey just down the street.

I loaded up the car!!!

Lots of Great Plants!

Blackberry Bush

Passion Vine

Look what came along with the Passion Vine, my first caterpillar of the season,

a Gulf Fritillary.

As you can see, it's already in it's new home.

I'll be sure to share when it becomes a butterfly!

(I'm so excited, it made my day!!)

Lots of Planters!

We were really looking for something to use as a planter under the bird bath.

The BOSS, checking it all out!

Otherwise, taking it easy!



The finished products, just what we wanted!

Thanks to my sweet Husband for a Great Mothers Day!

OH!

I don't want to forget to that thank THE DOG for her gift also!

Thanks Hershey - BAD DOG!!!

Innerarity Clean-up

Now that tax season is over, we were able to take off for a few days and

 head to the beach for a little rest and lots of Spring cleaning, inside and out!

Beach clean-up !! YUCK!!

We lost the dog for a few hours and had to take timeout to hunt for her!

The Orkin man was Hershery's HERO!

He found her trapped between the screen door and main door on the porch.

I had shut her inside the door after a workman arrived!

She was in her own little Twilight Zone, not inside or outside.

No picture, no more TRAMA!

FREE AT LAST!

Look what we found while searching for Hershey

Lots and Lots of Blackberries!



Robert picking them!!

We ended up with 3 bowls!!

Cobbler recipe to follow in my next blog so be sure to come back, it's GOOD!

Until them, check out some of our favorite places!
