Fred doesn't belong in the kitchen...

Last night I made chili for dinner. Fred likes shredded cheese on his chili and I forgot. I heard him in the kitchen cussing while getting his chili and finally got up to see what his problem was...He said the cheese shredder wasn't working! I was a bit confused and I looked over his shoulder to see what he was doing...ROFLMBO...Honey you need to turn the shredder over and then it might work!! It doesn't shred on the back side...I've never seen his face turn red but it did then...he was a wee bit embarassed, duh!! Gotta love my husband and his kitchen abilities!!


And his Mother says he can cook, Ha ha ha!!

Blowing off steam....

We were having homework saga evening/night...where the homework just seems to go on and on, where Michael can't concentrate, where he is constantly getting distracted, where he drives me NUTS!! I needed a walk and some photo therapy so I left and told him I would be back in 15 minutes. He told me to take an hour and I told him No I don't think so, 15 minutes and you better be doing your homework while I'm gone!!!

 

Green Green Grass is growing!

 

 

 I thought I got away from the house without my walking partner but obviously Not! I do enjoy walking with her as she stays right by my side and is also on the lookout for things. She doesn't chase the deer either!

 

Common ground black beetle, they were out and about and seemed to be very busy!

Yellow-bellied sapsucker...very well camouflaged too!

 

Dying Old Oak Tree...

I see a lot of white flags on my walks...danger, danger!! Run, Run!!

 

 



I spotted her but she is also well camouflaged too!

 

 

I cleaned the flower beds out last week but didn't have the heart to pull up this Cow-pen daisy...Little bugger survived the winter!

 

Carolina Jasmine is starting to bloom too, the bees will be very happy!

 

 

I felt better after my walk and Michael continued to do homework until 7:45pm, ugh!! It's been a rough night but he got his homework finished, yes!

 

 

 

 

 

Good Morning Deer...

~

 

 

 I wondered where the deer were at this morning...Seems they were behind me watching my back! Suppose to be in the mid 80's today and possibly might break a record temp from 1917...Pool water temperature is 70 degrees and if the wind would calm down a bit I might just take a dip, that is with my wet suit on...Still a bit too cold for me to go in without it. Then a cold front moves in this evening and our temps go down into the 50's, ekk (lol)...

Here's hoping y'all have a wonderful day!!

 

 

 

 



Michael's friend Colby celebrates his 10th Birthday!

Colby's Mom had something special planned for his 10th birthday and Colby was totally clueless...

 

 

His grandma made him a snake cake, Colby loves snakes! She did a terrific job and the cake was delicious!

 



There was a huge crowd too!

 

 

 TaDaaa! Mr. Clint from Texas Snakes and More was the main attraction!

Colby was so excited he loves Mr. Clint and his snakes and they go to see him every chance they can and where ever he is putting on a show in Texas. Colby got up close and personal with some of Mr. Clint's favorite snakes and was treated like a king.

 Beautiful...

 

 And since Colby was king he got to pull the snakes out of the bags...

 

 

What a happy boy!!

 

Speckled king snake and she was a sweet heart and one of my favorites!

And here's the pretty one...

 

Colby was so happy!!

 

Michael enjoyed himself too...

 

 

 

 And I had fun taking photos...

 

 

 Happy Birthday Colby!

Michael and I had a great time Saturday at Colby's party! Made for a wonderful weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plenty of eggs...

 

 

The hens are starting to lay regularly and the Bantam hens I got last fall are finally laying too. Their eggs are the little ones.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still laughing...

I'm laughing because Jenny just had to reach out and touch him even though she's already being growled at for being in his space...

 

 

 

Poor Jake just can't get a break!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hand held and SOOC (straight out of the camera)

I snapped two photos this evening...

 

 

I had just done chores and was coming back inside when I looked behind me and saw this whispy pink cloud, beautiful!! (SOOC = Straight out of the camera, no editing)

 

 

 

Then I looked to the East and saw the Moon...Not quiet full but almost! (Hand-held no tripod)
