Here is another week of entirely
too many pictures. I’m not sure why I keep apologizing for that – it’s not like
I plan to take fewer pictures or anything. Heh.

Dr. M took some pictures of the
birds in my dad’s yard. It’s like a rainbow…
On his way to his dad’s house
later that day of course he found some sheep. Imagine!
I had asked him to take pictures
of some of the flowers at his mom’s grave. The first arrangement was sent by
our neighbors here in Ohio. Thanks K & R!

I roamed around Daddy & Amy’s
yard taking pictures of flowers (and one thing that is not a flower).

On Tuesday we headed home by way
of Roan Mountain. You can see our other pictures here.
Here is the State of the Bug: Now
when exactly is that surgery scheduled?

I took a picture of our flowers out front. As predicted, it’s
a daisy casplosion.
Here’s the plant my sister-in-law sent to the funeral – we liked
it so much we brought it home with us.

The squirrel of the week.
And, no, we don’t have a menagerie in the back yard. Really!

It’s the Tax Time
Pig getting ready to set off some fireworks!
I thought you might like to see
the whole tableau.
This 18 wheeler pulled right out
in front of me on my way home. You probably can’t read it but it says “Swifty
Gas.” You, sir are not swift under
any possible definition of the word!

Today Dr. M & I went out for
brunch & then to the Lowes for important household items (squeegee for the
shower & potting soil – woot!). We decided to meander a bit before heading
home. We missed getting a picture of the doe and fawn we saw, but I did manage
to capture these fine fellows instead.
When we got home I took a couple
of pics of the yard. Our first tomatoes! It might be a little bit before we
actually eat these.
The geranium-in-a-can that we
over wintered (see here
for its out of control winter picture) has finally decided that maybe it might
bloom.
Then while I was working on this
post Dr. M grabbed the camera chip from me & took a picture of this
chickadee on our suet cage! What a cutie.

Isn't it nice to have so many things to take photos of! Just a few months ago we had ice, snow and nothing much green or of color. I noticed you had on some sketchers. I have some. How do you like yours? When I first started wearing mine, I had pains every where and my knees hurt a lot. I later found out you weren't suppose to wear them all day. But I like mine, now that I know how to use them.
ReplyDeleteI really like them a lot - I have some heel pain because of standing on one leg all the time (because of my hip) & these help with that a lot. I got a pair of mary jane skechers too for work.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know where to start, but how about with those gorgeous birds? They're so pretty. Tax Pig cracks me up. He's so patriotic.
ReplyDeleteIf your heel hurts, try, when sitting of course, to roll a golf ball under your foot. It works.
do you know - i really love the tax time pig, he deserves his own website :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bird pics but I think the flower pics are my favorite. I felt like I could reach out & touch them
ReplyDeleteDon't be sorry about too many pictures...we aren't! They are all so beautiful, I'm not sure how you would rule some out.
ReplyDeleteGlad your trip went well, even if it had to be for a funeral.
Are you having hip surgery??
usa pig is my fav of all his outfits...
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful indoor plant from the funeral...prayers to all
You and hubby were able to capture some beautiful shots this week. Loving your daisy explosion!
ReplyDeleteGreat week, love all the flower pictures. I think taking pictures of flowers and foliage is one of my all time fav's....
ReplyDeleteBlessings

I've been MIA for a bit... so sorry to hear of the loss in the family :( Funerals - man - tough stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI can always count on some beautiful wildlife & flowers here... makes me smile
& of course, the PIG! :)
My patriotic tax time pig! Love it! I adore that berry picture. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI loved the birds, the flowers, the blackberries, the tax time pig and the mighty looking squirrel. I could almost smell the flowers. Thank you so much for sharing all of them with us.
