Big Birds... and I'm not talking about Sesame Street!

Check out our big birds... (click on the images to enlarge and see all the gory details) yes, I looked out the window in the kitchen as I was about to do the dishes and there were 2 HUGE turkey vultures sitting on our barn roof. They were HUGE!

They flew off to a neighboring dead tree. What ugly birds!

Anyhoo, just wanted to share! Love to all!

Spring Flowers!

Ahhhh, can't you smell the flowers???? Thanks for e-mailing the Urban Deer pictures Scotty! What a bizarre scene that I would have believed if I hadn't seen your photos! I bet you were just as surprised!

Lorilita... I hope, hope, hope that your beautiful tulips are still in bloom next weekend. We're looking forward to Breezy's graduation party. Should be a grand time for all!

Hope everybody is doing well! Love you Lots!

Our newest trespasser!

Happy Tax Day everybody! Thank you everybody for such a wonderful Easter this weekend. The food was wonderful, the laughs were great and being together as a family was the most important part!

I wanted to share with you a little picture I took this morning. I was at the kitchen sink doing the dishes when I glanced up to see the most adorable red fox walking down the sidewalk towards the house from the office. She was just precious... so I run, drippy, soapy hands & all - to my desk in the living room to grab my camera. I snapped this picture of her jumping up on our front fence before crossing the road. She made that wall look like it was built of legos... such a powerful jumper she is.

She ran across the street, waited for a truck to pass, then ran back to our side of the street and into our woods. Quite a special sight to see.

Now, I'm going out to rake the yard... get up all the dead brown grass so we can have a lush green lawn to mow this summer!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Lots of Love!

Laugh of the day!

I am pretty sure my purpose here on earth is to bring smiles and laughter to everybody's lives I touch. So here's my contribution to your smile today!

The story starts like this... it's a typical Tuesday out running errands. I have many stops with the final stop being some grocery shopping at Walmart. Due to inclement weather and an extensive list of things to get, I opted not to walk this time... although maybe I should have... more on that in a minute.

Upon finishing my shopping (and no shopping trip to Walmart would be complete without visiting all 4 corners of that ginormous store) ☺ I check out, and pushed my shopping cart to the car to load my groceries. I unlocked the car, threw my purse in the front seat and loaded my plethora of items and bags into the back seat. Oh, I'm so excited, I bought myself a new pillow... the first in at least 5 if not 10 years... can't wait to get home to take a nap... Oh yeah!

I know, hurry along Aesop... But this is where my fable gets good...

I push my cart into the cart rack, walk back to my car, open my door, set my purse on the floor and proceed to get in the car and shut the door.... on the PASSENGER side. I look over waiting for Chris to get in the drivers side... but alas, he didn't come with me. Boy do I look goofy sitting in my own car awaiting my driver...

Now that you are probably rolling on the floor laughing, there's one final chuckle in this whole exciting ordeal... that's the 2nd time I've done that in the last year. Last time I actually got in the back seat closed the door and thought I was going to get home that way.

Hope your day is a bit more ummmm, less confusing than mine! Lots of Love to all!

Have a splendiforous afternoon!

Dawn... officially proof... it really is all downhill after 27

♣ Hope you all were Irish Yesterday ♣

What a beautiful day we had for St. Patty's day yesterday. We got out in the yard and re-edged a few gardens. I really wish it could be just like yesterday EVERYDAY! It was perfect out there!

Let us know who got to see a leprechaun! :)
Love to all!
