Strawberries!

Brian and I picked our first batch of strawberries this weekend! We waited to let the girls out of the roost that day because they head straight to the berry patch. Let me tell you, they were watching us.

Brian weighed those strawberries and we picked about two pounds. I washed, prepared and froze those for later. I think we're going to try our hand at strawberry wine this year!

SCRATCH AND SNIFF!

A Promise

After yesterday's storm...

I took these pictures off our second story stairs at my work...

It was just beautiful.

The Case of "Mole Holes"

In today's episode, Detective William "No-One-Gets-Away" Jake is on the scene of possible home invasion.

Evidence: Point of Entry of Flower Bed...

Detective William Jake starts by taking finger prints...

and studying the crime scene area.

Without any hesitation, he is on the scent!

You get them Detective!!

Container Gardening

This is Brian "thinking outside the box" on this one... that is the container! We had two wheel barrel's but I didn't just want to throw one away so, Brian came up with an idea. "Let's make a plant container!" WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!

He started by drilling many holes for water drainage... and presto... a herb container! How easy was that?!?!

We filled it with Thai Basil, Dwarf Curry...

Lemon Thyme and Orange Thyme...

Arugula and French Sorrel (both great in salad for a twist of taste)...

And "Hot & Spicy" Oregano! Talk about kick, you've got to try it!

So, start thinking "outside the box" for container ideas! We will! It's fun!!

"That's Amore"

William Jake loves Tootie... but Tootie, not so much.

Bubba McCloud's New Hairdo

Bubba just got his "Summer Do" recently... he got SHAVED! I bet he feels so much better... I think...

Bubba, show us your haircut... Bubba, don't be shy...

You look so handsome!!

"I feel so naked!" says Bubba McCloud.

On The Way To VetMed This Morning

Katie was diagnosed with Feline Diabetes several weeks back. So every two weeks, Katie spends the day with Dr. Nicole Harris and the crew at VetMed... just until we can get her sugar levels down (they check her blood throughout the day.) She sits patiently in her crate on the ride there...

but I think she is sending me an "evil eye" look... SEE, I'm not imagining this!!
