1. While on our walk a few weeks ago this little quail appeared for a brief moment. I managed a couple of quick shots before it scurried off into the blackberry bushes.
2.Our daughter Greta celebrated a birthday this month. She's pointing to the candles on the cake because the flames would match the color of the candles.
3.Spotted this Praying Mantis looking in our kitchen window (yes I know they need washed) so I went out and took it's picture.
A few days laughter Coleen and her friend found a green one and wanted me to look at it so I took it's picture too.
4. Our cat, Harley is NOT a lap cat and we are always trying to coax him onto our laps. Coleen has had the best success. He actually got up on her lap the other night and let her comb him. (He loves being brushed and combed.)
5. Finally after all that horrible smoke and haze from the fires it rained.
Bonus shot: It's time for another baby fix - Little Joelle is growing and we think she is cute as can be.
The annual Ducky Derby was held on May 19th and as usual I purchased my 5 ducks in hopes that one of them would make it to the finish line and I would win a prize. Alas, once again I did not win. - Oh well, it's all for a good cause.
2. Hubby celebrated a birthday the next day (May 20) so there was birthday stuff to take care of. Here he is blowing out those birthday candles.
3. He took a 5 day trip back to ND to watch his oldest granddaughter graduate from high school. While he was gone I went to the Wildhorse Casino again. Took my mom along. We didn't win but we didn't lose all our money either. - Better than that though was that a local store had a promotion that if you bought a $5 and higher Scratch ticket and it was a losing ticket you could put it in a box and have a chance at the end of the month to win free lottery tickets. Guess what.........
I won! There were 3 winners drawn. I won 2nd Prize - A packet of 50, $10 tickets. - We all had fun scratching them off and I ended up winning, $330.00 off the tickets. I probably had put in about $50 worth of losing tickets but I gained that back plus extra and it was just a lot of fun finding out that I had won and the excitement of seeing if any of the tickets were winners was great.
4. Usually you see people walking their dogs but have you ever seen someone walking their.....
Pet Goats!
5. I wait all year for the local strawberry season to start and so for the last couple of weeks we have been enjoying these lucious berries.
In other news...I finally joined the ranks of Smart Phone owners. Boy has that been a "learning curse I mean curve" for me! I've accidentally taken "selfies", dialed my granddaughter while she was in school, called my daughter and didn't say anything because I didn't realized I had called her, hung up on an important call because I pressed a wrong button and the list goes on.
1. Part of the business of the past 2 weeks. Back to Back Birthday Celebrations. - My mom turned 89 on the 18th and Coleen turned 13 on the 19th (Yes we have a teenager in the house now!)
2. Spotted this Dried Artichoke Bloom growing up through a stump one afternoon. - I thought it looked pretty cool.
3. Spotted this display at a local grocery store.
4. The sun was shining on the neighbors trees the other night (we've had a lot of rain so the sun was a welcome sight) and I really liked the colors of the trees.
5. Goofing around with our cat, Dottie this morning.
It's, "Dottie Trump!"
Please no "haters" as this was just meant to be funny.
