The babies left the nest this morning (see here) and  I can't believe it's been about a month since I discovered the Mom's unusual place to nest. They were so cute perched on the wall this evening...waiting for the go-ahead from Mom and Dad. ;0)

The official start of summer is here. The school year has ended and the summer activities are upon us...popsicles, swimming pools, and lazy days are here at last...;0D

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

~Eric Clapton, "Tears in Heaven"

Wet. I love the rain to look at, to smell, to watch the flowers grow. To sit in when it's cold? Not so much. ;0)

I'm sorry Baby, I just had to! After I posted the picture of the length of grass in my yard, I had this pathetic sight in my yard. The one handed mow-job! Of course, this was after our neighbor had volunteered to mow it and had to stop by and rib him a little. Tsk...tsk...

Betcha can't guess what we did tonight...I'll give you a hint, it involves blocks of wood and a little race action! Yep, pinewood derby time! My little one wants to thank Grandpa for all his help too...just look at that grin! ;0D

Cloudless skies and hot days are coming. They have been intermittent thus far. This makes the fact that the pool is still holed up in it's box that much more evident. *sigh*

When the man of the house is short a hand, you tend to end up with a lawn like this...very long and gone to seed. With the azure sky and the crop of fluffy clouds, it made for a good shot! ;0)

I wasn't slacking at all yesterday...nope, that would be Blogger's job. Lame. Anyway, this little stinker has refused to finish learning how to ride his bike. He could go for a few feet and stop with his feet and about wipe out. It's been like this a while, so long that he has outgrown his little bike! I told him I would get him a new bike, but only if he learned how to ride this one really well. Hmm...guess I owe him a new bike! ;0)

I love these jeans. They fit great, last forever, come in so many different styles and colors. I love them so much that I just felt the ends of my fingers and knuckles and they are raw. Raw from a love of jeans...;0D

A rose by any other name...
My neighbor has the most beautiful roses and I just had to snap a pic or two! I took this and cut out the roses and layered them on top of the original shot in a heavy black and white contrast. Looks great! ;0D

I came upon an interesting sight the other day. It seems one of our local population of quail has found the perfect place to nest! Needless to say, my man will not be riding his bike anytime soon...

Mr. Bug. You are so yellow in your now crispy shell. Why you chose to end your existence on my porch today, one may never tell...
