The perfect photo op...

and it was ruined by an impatient husband. We had gone to town Saturday morning and upon traveling back home I spotted a doe standing in the ditch next to the road. Upon further investigation she was standing over the top of her fawn...I had my camera and gear and was so excited. My goal this year is to get a decent photo of a fawn and here was my opportunity. I grabbed the camera turned it on and was fix'in to check the settings when my impatient husband took off...Grrrrrrrrrrr....I managed to snap one photo! I was HOT, really HOT and not heat wise but temper wise!! I could NOT believe he wouldn't even sit there for 5 minutes so I could take photos!! We screamed at each other!! He was in a hurry to meet a friend who was delivering a hog trap that he built for us...I am sure that friend could have waited 5 minutes, sheesh...

So here's my one and only photo...

The fawn was absolutely adorable, the one photo was absolutely horrible!!

We both cooled down, thank goodness we don't hold grudges and get over our arguments fairly quickly. I just hope I have better luck next time and my impatient husband is NOT with me!!

Friday morning...

Friday morning I was a bit tired of sitting in the house with Michael so I took the camera out into the yard...

Ready for take off...

Deer Fly, you don't see them often down here but they are here. They pack a painful bite and leave welts. I used to fight them off in swarms in Michigan when I took to the woods with the horses. I swear there were so many that at times they could have carried me and the horse out of the woods if they wanted too. This is like the 3rd one I've seen since living in Texas and that is going on 13 years.

A creepy crawly spider trying to hide from me...

And when I saw this I was like Nooooo!! Not love bugs, egads!! But yes it seems they are out and about! I sure hope we don't get hundreds of thousands of them this year, they sure make a mess on the truck!

Michael is doing much better and will be attending school tomorrow, yeah!! I went to the school Friday morning and picked up his schoolwork. Which he spent Friday afternoon doing and now hopefully he is not too far behind! I think I'm going to enjoy a break. He's been home and with me 24/7 since last Weds, ekk...And just think Summer break is only a couple weeks away, Oh My goodness!! LOL...I'm trying not to think about it ;o)

Did you know...

Bunnies can be very entertaining!!

Peg was out for her evening exercise session and Fred was watching and laughing...It seems Peggy climbed on top of a box next to her cage and then climbed on top of her cage...It was too funny as she didn't have a clue on how to get down! She was stuck, silly Bunny!

Thursday's Photos...

The past few days have been a bit hectic but things finally seem to be calming down...I tried to post these photos last night but it seems Blogger was having technical difficulties...

Young hawk in the pasture

We had a Huge Storm coming in and I was in a hurry to get to town and back home before it hit...When we got to the end of the driveway there was a Turkey/Gobbler serenading a Turkey/Hen and he was gorgeous, plus 3 hawks all within 30ft of each other and I didn't have the camera, sigh! I whipped the truck around and headed back to the house while Michael was whining and yelling at me...Yep he was still sick. We spent Weds afternoon at the doctors office and Michael had to have blood drawn for the first time in his life, he wasn't happy. But he didn't make a peep or move a muscle, I was so proud of him. Thursday we got the results back and had a prescription to pick up, well that was after I returned to the house...grabbed the camera, snapped a photo of the only remaining bird and took off for town, lol...I love to multi-task!

~

Did we make it home before the Storm hit, Nope...But it was close. I was 10 minutes out when it hit and the oh so beautiful rain came down!! We received 1.5 inches of rain and lots of Lightening and Thunder...
~

I did take the camera out in the evening...A puddle, Wow! It's been so long since we've seen a puddle and of course my cohort in crime was with me, sigh!

The clouds of the storm after it passed...looking SouthEast.

I was looking for the Morning Dove nest and found a Cardinal nest...
~

Yeah the Morning Dove eggs made it...I'm sure Lydia will have a feast before too long.
~

My truck got a well needed bath. I was shocked at how clean it was and captured a good reflection...
~

The sun in the evening sky...
So glad we got some rain and really hope we get some more soon, we need it!

Trying to stay busy today. Michael came home from school early yesterday. Seems the heat got to him and he got sick. Our temp at the house yesterday at 12:45pm was 97 degrees F. I gave him plenty of water bottles to take to school and told him to drink it. Also told him not to be running around so much until his body adjusts to the heat. I always worry about him in this heat as he never handles it well and I know the teachers and staff can't keep a close eye on him. I keep hoping one of these days he will be able to tell when he needs to cool off...On another note 8 yrs ago today I married my best friend! We had a great wedding and it always brings back a lot of smiles and laughter. Hope y'all enjoy your day.

A few bright colors for Leah today...

A friend is waiting while her father goes in for surgery and she requested some photos to help her through the day! Just for you Leah!

A little Mum for sunshine

Leah I hope your father does well with his surgery, Gods blessings to you and your Father today!
