Yes, the dog days of summer are here. The skies are gray and threatening rain, but never deliver! It just keeps getting hotter and more humid (is humider a word?!) Here is a picture is a quail family that frequents our birdfeeding area. The poppa bird is on the table keeping watch over the momma and babies that are feeding on the ground. If any other bird comes and tries to join them, poppa quail scares them away! Behind them is the beginnings of our garden which the birds like to eat from too! So far we have bellpeppers, green beans, corn, squash and assorted melons starting to grow. A little cottontail bunny that likes our garden ate our 2 strawberries that were growing. Oh Well!
ELISE IS HOME! Yep, Elise came back to St. David after her 6 month stint in So. Ca. with G & G Jones! We REALLY appreciate grama and grampa for taking such good care of her and we know you must be missing her. We are glad to have her back and right at this moment, she is playing the piano and singing at the top of her lungs---oh how we missed that!!!! (Teddy isn't impressed with her modeling pose in this photo!)
Before Natalie went to Idyho to visit her 3 sisters that deserted Arizona, she had a mishap on our scooter! She went around a sandy corner too fast and BIFFED IT! Right in front of a group of people to make matters worse! She was fine, but they kept asking! Her hand and knees did get a bit scraped up and here is the proof!! Hopefully by now both hands and knees and dignity are well on the way to healing!
OUCHIE!
