Babies

Saturday morning we had baby turkeys pass through our yard.  Of course, being the 4th of July, someone set off a loud firework, causing a big boom and scaring off the turkeys.  I had just enough time to snap two pictures.

The pictures aren’t that great.  The butterfly was outside on the window and I was inside in the air conditioning :-/

Strolling Through Clover

We have been letting Lily go on outdoor excursions.  She has to be outside with the dogs, because she doesn’t like to be out by herself.

Tiny Toad

This little toad was so cute, but he didn’t want to have anything to do with posing for a picture.

Infested

There are so many cicadas this year…..it’s kind of creepy.  Not to mention they are making a LOT of noise.

Lounging Lizard

Found this five lined skink lounging on a burned log in the fire pit. Will have to thoroughly check the fire pit next time we use it. Don’t want to burn up any critters.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
