Watch Out For Birds...

When we were visiting with my step daughter Diana, she told us about an experience of her friend's puppy. Her friend was out walking her tiny puppy (luckily on a leash) when this huge bird swooped down and tried to take it! Can you imagine the scare and astonishment! Her friend mentioned that Diana needed to be careful and never let her own dog go outside by herself (they live in the same neighborhood). Diana has cute little Darla (picture) and they live in an area where hawks and predatory birds fly all over looking for food. Oh my gosh, I would have never thought about a bird taking your little dog!! So, if you've lost a little dog or cat in the past maybe it didn't wander off......maybe it was air-lifted! How horrible!!



Darla, be safe......and watch out for BIRDS!!!!

Baby Kisses...

Last Friday night we went with some friends to "Mighty Fine"... awesome hamburger restaurant. They brought their baby with them and I couldn't resist taking these pictures of him which you see below. Right next to where we were sitting was a mirrored wall. Genell stood little Jesse up against it hoping he would entertain himself watching his reflection. The next thing we saw he was giving the baby in the mirror kisses....how adorable!! (he's only 8 months old). So glad I had a camera with me...this really deserved a picture to remember it.

Oh my gosh Genell, he's so doggone cute!!!

Aero Garden...

I wanted to get one of those little inside gardens to grow some herbs so Scott bought me the"Aero Garden" which I started on March 3rd. The plants have already started to pop up and it's been really exciting to see them get bigger day after day. We decided to grow herbs (you have a choice) since we use them in cooking. I'm anxious to see how big the plants will actually get. Here's a couple of pictures.....can't wait until we start harvesting!

Beautiful Day Outside...

Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day outside today. It's been in the high 70's to low 80's. Last week we had lots of rain (which was really needed) but the weather was really cold and damp, well at least for here in TX. We had the heater going most of last week. Well, not only did I think it was a lovely today but I'm guessin our cat Mr. Bo thought so too. He sure seemed to love being outside laying and rolling out on the back porch. I tried to get some pictures of him since I think he's so darn cute but found photographing animals isn't necessarily easy since they like to move a lot. When you think you may get a good picture and ready to snap a shot, well think again. Patience is definitely needed when taking pictures of some animals, especially Mr. Bo!Afterwards, I went out in the front yard and found this cute little squirrel running around through the trees. Guess he needed a rest and was enjoying the day too. It was really easy to take his picture especially when he decided to just hang out. I took this photo with my zoom lense. Wonder what he was thinking as he watched me taking his picture. Little did he know that this was going to be put on a blog and would be viewed by people from miles away!

Also had to get a picture of my little dog, Keito. I think he has an awfully cute face even though he needs to go to the groomers and get a haircut. One thing is for sure he poses well for pictures unlike Mr. Bo! He also seemed to be enjoying the warm weather today.And last, I got this picture of a couple of ducks swimming out in the pond. They looked so peaceful and content out there.............

.........what a beautiful day!!
