mysterious flower.

i had been noticing this little red flower popping up all over town.

i got excited telling josh about it one day.. and he says.. 'you mean, like the flower in the back of the yard?'

TICKLED. if you know what kind of flower this is please let me know! it has to be something native and i lurve it.

spillway adventures.

we decided to drop the canoe in from the liquor store right by the spillway today.

adventures ensue! we talked to whiteys at the golf course about calling our city councilman to clear the logs in the waterway. we also dug golf balls out of the embankment.. no photos of that, however.

also

this little praying mantis i found...

calling the cats in and who did i see?

he was meant to be outdoors.

duke appreciates the outdoors.
he has three spots in which he partakes of the nappings.
this is the most likely place to find him.. quite a handsome man cat.

a little bit of a back log.

we're constantly taking pictures.. so over the next few days or weeks they will get added.


here's a starter.. my first little bitty creature friend.
