It's Ketch-Up Day

 

 

AND to the U.S. Blogger Buds...

AND 

Friday we went to Shelton Vineyards, one of my favorite spots, for lunch.

 

 AND

Remember the fosters? Well they're now the permanent fosters. No longer Shrek and Fiona, the HH has renamed them Louie and Maisy. Louie is technically Lieutenant Stubby, in honor of Captain Stubby:) Their access to the entire house is limited till Frank deems it so.

 

 

But we are making progress. He stood them for about twenty minutes yesterday, till  he figured he'd had enough. Here's a pic of them all 'bird watching'. Heh. You have to look closely to see Louie. He's behind one of the chairs.

 

AND

Look at this little cutie. Our vet's assist is a wildlife rehaber. She takes in baby orphans and hurt creatures and when they're ready releases them back into the wilds. 

AND from California

This little guy is wearing a snoot-full of birdseed.

 AND

I'll leave you with a couple of garden pics. YOU, have a great week.

It's Monday

Why can't the weekend be five days and the work week two? Just saying...

Thanks for the pic, Rye.

How was your weekend? Did you do anything mega exciting. Me...still working on edits.

Did you see the story about the widow who lost her $280,000 home because she owed six dollars in back taxes? Six dollars. Really?

I should have bought a lottery ticket. This was my lucky weekend. Deer came in the backyard. They were close enough, you could see the spots on the fawn. A red cardinal in a nearby tree added to the view. Apologies for the poor quality of the picture. It was nearly dark and taken with my phone through the screened in porch. Sunday, I saw a barn owl.( Also taken with my phone. I've got to get a decent camera!) We've lived here fourteen years and hear them nightly, but this was the first sighting. He really blends. If you don't see him at just the right angle, you don't see him at all. And...I saw a bluebird!
