Todays Nature Photos

I went outside this evening and took some photos around the yard.

The plantation lily was a gift from a friend when she moved away. It was given to her on the day her daughter was born. Every year it blooms on her daughters birthday but this year it is 2 months early. I always send her a photo of it's first bloom!

If you open the photos and put your cursor over the picture it should give you a description of the photo!

Enjoy ~ Wendy~

Library Fling

Hello today Michael and I went to a special summer program at the Library. I thought it was supposed to be a petting zoo but the only animal (other than people) were Lhamas...there was a police car, fire engine, boat, Stretch Hummer Limo, balloons, free juiceys, and goodies for the kiddos. Michael had a blast! He even got a fireman's hat, cool! He wasn't to sure about the Lhama's at first but went back for a second look later. He really liked the stretch Limo and ran around in it for a bit...He enjoyed climbing in the Police car, I hope that is the only time he is ever in one, lol. The fire engine was pretty neat too, but he goes and sees his Uncle Frankie quiet a bit at the fire station so he is used to fire engines. He was pretty nosey on the boat and was looking in the bait and fish wells, lol...I think he enjoyed it. Tomorrow we are going to Splashway water park and I know he is going to love that....I'm excited too because I have so been wanting to take him and I think he is finally old enough to truly enjoy it!!

Busy Day

Today was a bit busy...Fred was up and gone early this morning to pick up a disc from his Father. He took Michael with him and I waited at home for the a/c man to come. Our a/c has been on the fritz lately. While waiting I was doing laundry and taking photos outside. The a/c man showed up and Fred called at about the same time wanting me to take the tractor down to the property to help unload the disc. The a/c man replaced the thermostat and hopefully that was what was wrong with the a/c, so far so good! After going down and helping Fred I came back and was making lunch when Teresa called she was at the Cuero community pool with 5 of the nieces and nephews. So Fred and I took Michael over there for a swim. On the way home Michael fell asleep and had a really late nap so more than likely I'll be up most of the night with him, sigh! LOL I did lay down with him for a bit and I'm ready for a late night. Fred has to work tomorrow, not sure what Michael and I will do...

Photos: The first photo I took with my mobile phone and isn't very good but is Michael at the pool with an icy pop. The second photo is Julie looking back down the driveway! Julie like most horses is always alert and aware of her surroundings and is always looking down the driveway! Maybe waiting for her prince~charming?

My Space

I did a bit of re-organization in my space today. It's still a bit of mass chaos but it's my space and I like it that way, lol. I have dreams and ideas of what I want my space too look like when we get the house built! But for now it's called make do with what you have and since this is a rental house I am surely not going to pour money into it....I mainly cleaned up and sorted my paper and tried to make my work space a bit easier to work with...lol...did that make sense...I also had plenty of help and interruptions from the "little boss man". Now if I can find that little push to get motivated and work on some layouts I'd being doing really well. Hope you enjoy my space and come back and visit anytime (grin), company is always welcome!!

Fishing again....

Yep I know it's my life story...seems all I ever do is fish and scrapbook! Keeps me busy and out of trouble and both are really fun as far as I'm concerned. Michael and I only spent an hour down to the creek today. The kids pool was still pretty much under water and he doesn't like fishing up on the bank with me, another words he was bored. I did manage to catch a Bass first thing. Shocked me as the water was muddy and that is usually when I catch catfish. I was using nightcrawlers. I caught the bass and 2 more catfish and then called it quits. It was pretty down there, a bit hot but that is normal for this time of year. I took the camera with hopes of getting a photo of that darn little snake that likes my fishing spot but he/she wasn't to be seen today...maybe he/she decided to find a better spot...lol

Photos

I just had to post these photos! I took them this morning while wandering around the yard and thought they were pretty good. I was having problems with the camera and it wasn't wanting to cooperate but here is what I came up with! Enjoy! Michael and I are off to fish when the laundry is done! He's a bit pink from swimming yesterday so I'm trying to keep him out of the sun today!

Tank time

Fred had to work today and I decided to set up our tank for Michael! He had a blast swimming and playing. After Daddy got home this evening we had a water fight with the super soaker squirt gun and the hose!! We also saw a rainbow this evening during supper!
