Gods Little Creatures

(He came up on the porch and took a siesta with my hubby standing just off to the left with camera in hand. He is layinf exactly the way one of my cats lays.)

Greetings Friends,

I've been a busy little beaver for some time now. My apologizes for neglecting my blog. Please kow that I have peeked in from time to time on many of your blogs.

We have been blessed with visits from God's little creatures lately and I wanted to share some pics here with you today.

This little guy was spotted recently foraging for a snack in our yard.

Our yard bunny is still doing fine. We think he has a friend too.


My hubby was delighted to catch this male house finch in his view finder. This little guy was not afraid of the human with the camera at all. Yes, you are seeing Christmas lights. This bush is dead so we left the lights on it. Now we can't remove it untill after the birds decide to move on as they are nesting in the bottom of the bush.

Easter was fun at mom's house again this year. This is my granddaughter Raven and my niece Angel. They are 6 months apart in age and both still love and expect the Easter egg hunt.

Mother's Day was a bit different this year as my mom went to Texas that weekend to meet my step dads new grandbaby. She said they had a lot of fun on the trip and all of her kids called her on Sunday.

I'm off to an Eagle Scout ceremony this afternoon and then to Camp Brown for to follow our Cub Scout Pack around during Chuck Wagon Days. I won't be climbing up the hill from rafting across the river this year. Doc says no as it would be to hard on my knees. My next Synvisc injections are scheduled for May 31st. I really am needing it. I'm hit a plateau with my weight loss but my flexiblity is better. The doc says he can tell I am building muscle and that is a good thing.

So what have you all been up to lately?

This week was my granddaughters DARE graduation and she has passed to the 6th grade. My baby girl will be a middle school student next year. She is both excited and anxious at the same time. She won the 5th grade Most Curious Award. We thought that fit her personality perfectly.

Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Safe,

Just a bit of something I dreamed up the other night...

These three are so lucky to have sisters and be so close to the same age. My sister and I are 10 years apart and my daughters are 6 years apart. Sometimes it's just enough of a gap to really have nothing in common (that old generation gap doesn't need to span a lot of years to get in the way). We spent most of our childhoods apart, my sister and I. I hope these three will always be together, stay connected and cherish each other while still developing their own personalities and likes/dislikes. I couldn't wish for them anything better...

Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be You,

Tess

Let's Play Dress-Up

She started this fun by putting my fake hair pony tail thingy on her head.

The above picture turned out rally blurry so I changed it up by applying a sepia tone to it and it doesn't look nearly as blurry now.

My fun wig from this past Halloween. She loved this look.

Ahhhh!!! :-(

Buy wigs when they go on sale after halloween. I paid 1.00 for this one. These wigs are so much fun to play with and Bobbie is such a good sport.

Now what did you put up there?
My tribal head gear. I never let them touch it. (I'm a member of the tribe of the Golden Eagle in Boy Scouts.) Don't you just love that look on her face?! I do!!

Two of my favorite people.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Hugs,

Tess
