a little action...

 on our morning walk...we notice some action...
hey didn't your Momma teach you not to play in the street...

 a game of tag...or chase...
and I didn't have my zoom lense with me...

 these guys were having a grand old time...

 little britches and I stopped to watch the action...
we got a good laugh with their antics...

even a mockingbird got in on the act...
chasing one of the squirrels and dive bombing it...
I didn't get a clear photo...

Birds


while out for a walk at FIL's I ran into a mockingbird...
he has a lot of them in his neighborhood...

 In his backyard there are a few teenage blue birds...


they are playing chase....


and hide and seek in the trees....

the were really noisy too....
 a lot of fun too watch....

Webs....



webs are very interesting...

 they way the light hits them...
the details...


the work that must go in to making them...

and then you remember....
they are made by insects....

busy Monday....
but I got a lot accomplished...
some days I feel like a dog chasing my tail...
on the go constantly but never getting any where...
today....I feel like I made it to the gate....
how was your Monday.....

Fences...




I decided to have a little fun with fences...
I thought these three had interesting charachter...
they have been around awhile....
Happy Monday....
hope your week starts off well....
What is your favorite summer treat?
I think mine is a snowcone...
cheese cake flavor or grape...

Shhhhh...don't tell.....

don't let my dogs My three boys and a bird dog

that I've been taking photos of cats...
but I couldn't help myself....










Cats have a whole different perspective on life...



Green with Envy....well I wish all was green...

Hi...My name is Deb...
and I don't like to admit this....
but I have garden envy....
these photos are not from my garden....
they are from my FIL's garden...
I'm not usually an envious person...
but Hubby and are so sad about our garden...
we think we have found the problem...
not enough nutrition in our soil
so we are working on that....
in the mean time....we are just going to
envy  enjoy FIL's and my Mom's gardens...
and send positive vibes to our ugly wonderful garden....

Wildflowers..









Just thought I'd share a few more wildflowers with you...
something about them makes me smile...
inside and out....
The Texas heat is here....
my Mom said it was 100 degrees on her front porch today...
actual temps in the 90's....
ready or not Summer here we come...


Graduate....

we went to a graduation last night...
it was at the Meyerson in downtown..
beautiful place...
it was for the Booker T Washington
School of the performing Arts...
it wan't boring....
we got to hear singers...
hear musicians...
see dancers...
see theater students...
and view a slide show...
a refreshing change....

we are so proud of our girl...
she was excepted in to a great
dance program at Sam Houston...
we've known her for 10 years...
she is like our own daughter...
we have watched her grow
from a skinny little girl with glasses...
to a beautiful young lady...
and a beautiful dancer...
she makes our hearts swell...
We love you CT....
