Nesting

I feel so honored that we have a birds nest in our tree! And she made such pretty eggs.

...you might be a Stone.

If you're in the bathroom and realize you're looking at the "perfect place" he found to put the cylinder heads for his engine...you might be a Stone.

 

I gotta give him credit - atleast he wrapped 'em up. :)

funny or sad?

Some puppies, like this big fella, don't like laothe would rather die hate going to the vet. 

This reminds me of another scared-y-dog named Norman...after running out of the vet's office like a bat out of hell, he proceeded to gallop towards the frontage road for I-35 as three vet worker ladies and the vet (bless their hearts) ran after him in their scrubs. As you can imagine, I was MORTIFIED. Our new vet "protocol" is this: I call ahead, park around back, and one of the workers props open the back door of the office and together we slip him in as quickly as we can...as far away from the interstate as we can get. Then we stand in the back hallway next to the surgery suite, out of sight of the front lobby, until it's our turn to be seen.  sheesh.

I'm going to tell myself that kids aren't this hard to deal with.

It's the circle, people

I always get "the circle of life" stuck in my head when really cool naturey things happen in my backyard, and I always picture simba somewhere around the end.

the Bees have been hard at work pollinating my cactus blossoms:

Go-kart

Today I packed up the go-kart to have a one woman adventure on the country roads behind our house. 

The breeze was at my back, I had a nice long peaceful ride, and everything was going fine....

 ...until I had a small, um, "accident".

 Luckily I have a handy man on speed dial...

...and then I walked home.  :)

And this is the PTDBB:

(In case you don't know what that is...it stands for the Pencil Thin D**cheBag Beard. A very thin beard that looks like it was drawn on with a Sharpie.)

My bro-in-law.

Can you tell we had fun??



**Just so you know, my brother in law is the farthest thing from a Dbag, he is a sweet and wonderful man with a great sense of humor - which is what made his beard so hilarious. :)
