Where do I Start?

Where do I start?? I guess I start right here! It has been almost 5 months since I've posted! Sorry, I  has so many things going on in my life and I feel really bad that I haven't written about them....so...I had this bright idea! I will do a few posts to play caught up! Then I hope to update this blog more often.

Did you have a nice and safe 4th? Last night as the skies darkened..I looked out and could see beautiful fireworks going off all across the horizon, from the east to the west as far as I could see.. Last year they changed the law in Iowa to allow the sale of fireworks.. so this is only the second year that I have been totally entertained with a sky full of celebrational lights! They were red and white...nad maybe a hint of blue! Just lovely!!

The flowers in my header are my daisies. They are always so pretty!!! I just love them! I've had lots of other photos I'll be sharing of my flowers!

Blessings...

Happy Birthday to our Little One

Yes, today our Little One Maggie Sue has turned 2 years old!! Here she is all dressed up in her little 'tu-tu' bathing suit! Isn't she just adorable??

This was on the 4th of July...here she is with her sweet big sister, Lorelai and her daddy!! We were heading to their cabin for the day! (They had come out to 'greet us"!!)

Blessings to your weekend...

What's Up??

We saw this dandelion field as we were zooming down the road one day. My great granddaughter said "Wow! That's a lot of dandelions!" ha! ha!

I had this inquisitive little squirrel.. (which I haven't seen for awhile.)

He got up in my old wheelbarrow..butt in the air!! Looking, searching..trying to find IT!

I think he must have buried a nut or something in there. Maybe he found all of  the ones he had buried in my pots and planters..

I had lots of these cat birds...they are marked really pretty.

And of course the orioles. They came for quite awhile, but had to share their grape jelly and oranges with the cat birds. sad So, I haven't seen them much anymore either.

But these sweethearts, come visit all the time. I usually put safflower seed in the pan on the patio. They seem to love it. We've had those black birds here almost all spring. When we fill the suet and seed cakes...they seem to finish them off in a couple days..uggg Finally, last week my son filled the hanging ones again. Yeah!! And thankfully they haven't returned. 

One night there was one of those beautiful moons out..my camera never seems to be able to capture the true essence of it. But it was really pretty!

 

Are you ready for the 4th?? I just almost hate to see it come. Our state has legalized fireworks this year. (I know they used to shoot them off before...knowing they'd never get caught). But now...it's terrible...they are really shooting off BIG ones. Poor Rusty, he just goes nuts. Do you have big plans for this holiday weekend?? I hear on the news the price of regular gas have dropped below $2.00 a gallon. What is your price where you live?? It's $2.06 where I live, and $1.95 across town!!! (I'm assuming one area sells more than the other.) Stay safe...
