I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.  We were all fun and games here.

Red Admiral

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.

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.

Titmouse

Patience paid off. I finally got some good shots of the little gray tufted titmouse last week.

Left then Right

This squirrel had its left paw then its right held up and clenched like a fist.  It was very cold the day Glen took its picture.  Maybe it was trying to keep its paws warm.

Annual Girls Day Out

My friends, Ila, Vickie and I had our annual Christmas girls day out yesterday.  We went down to the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.  We decided to eat at the restaurant Zocalo.  The food was very tasty and the adult beverage that I ordered was call a gin blossom and it was fantastic!

We had our waitress take our picture, which as you can see didn’t turn out that great.

We had a great time.  Wish we could manage to spend more time together.

Vickie loved the flower baskets and wanted a picture with them.  Here she is being silly.

Peek-A-Boo

While Glen was out hunting/sitting in his deer stand he spotted this squirrel.  You may have to click on the picture to enlarge it enough to really be able to see it.

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
