Flood Zone ~ July 2, 2007 ~ Scrapbook Layout

A Layout I just finished on the Flooding we had back in July 2007. I wanted to Journal it by hand and there are a few mistakes but that is what makes it unique!

Oh NO!! I said my favorite word, unique...

Storytime May - July 2007

I'm on a roll...

I'm either on a roll with the camera or I'm avoiding doing my 2007 layouts!!

I was sitting here working on a layout when I heard some birds chirping/singing and thought I'd go have a look see...We've got a lot of birds out in the pasture lately and I put some cut up grapefruit out in the yard to see if I could draw some in so that I could take photos...Between the 4 yr old, dogs and horse I'm not having much luck. Everytime I set the camera up the child or the animals move in and the birds good swishing away...ugh!!

I did work on a photo of Rio...our cockatiel...lol...she's a bird isn't she? She just finished molting so not as pretty as she could be but still pretty!!

Julie checking out the grapefruit and scaring the birds away, Grrrrrrrr!!

An Eastern Kingbird, high in a tree!!

Now back to my layouts...I'll keep trying on the bird photos...

Blooms, Bugs and views

A little Aussie bird has been chirping in my ear that she wants to see some of 'HB's' nature photos...she misses not seeing them on my blog....

So my little Aussie bird here you go...

Jasmine bloom

I hope these blooms, bugs and views brightened your day!!

And for you reading enjoyment an article I found on a mysterious Asian reptile that is dying, click here.

Some Lame jokes...

Why couldn't the teddy bear eat his desert?

He was stuffed!!

(ha, ha, ha)

Customer: "Waitress! Will my pancakes be long?"

Waitress: "No Sir, I expect they'll be round, as usual!"

(ha, ha, ha)

What do you get if your parakeet flies into the blender?

Shredded tweet.

(Oh that was sick! lol)

Why did the police stake out the baseball field?

They heard that players were stealing bases!!

(he, he, he, ha, ha, ha)

I told you they were lame but hope they brought a smile to your face!!

Bath Day!!

Yes that rights folks we take a bath once a week and today was the day!! Just kidding, but it was bath day for Jake. I had been putting it off and he needed one!! He is all squeaky clean now and I couldn't resist trying to get some decent photos while he was all fluffy white...His wool under-coat will take a couple days to dry which I hate. He doesn't like the hair dryer and I was not going to force the issue...but he does look pretty!!

He will be 8 months old at the end of January and for some reason I thought he was older, lol. Maybe because he is sooo BIG!! He certainly doesn't look very big from these photos but he is...His nose lines up perfectly with the old Trunk we use for a coffee table, lol. Michael learned that when Jake swooped by it and grabbed a couple of his cookies, Oops!! He's getting his mane in and is starting to look handsome! I told Fred when he sheds his wool under-coat and puppy coat this spring I was going to splurge and take him to the Groomers for a bath, lol, that will be a mess!!
