THE MISSING DAY!

Nephew Jon who is doing a yard make-over (what not to wear said no k-nic k-nic) was sleeping in the computer room, so I skipped last night. I did get the baby bird pics though, so we'll just pretend this one is yesterday! Worked in the yard, visited mom, did a bunch of framing, was a productive day!!!!! Gray and chilly makes fit easier to work in the yard! Top photo is what came out, next is the dent we made in the mulch!

Gotta love a gorgeous redhead. . .

Company left this morning and Louie and I went to Anacortes for the art show. On my way to pick her up I pulled off the road in front of some blackberry bushes to finish a phone call and was gifted by a visitor. . .a pileated woodpecker. He was quite cooperative. The art show was enlightening and as is most always true with a show, it is amazing what the human mind can think up and produce. Lots of things I would have loved to take home or for that matter be able to do! Gathered great ideas, saw some old friends and Jack the puppy was so tired he didn't even open his eyes when I petted him! Louie and I rounded out the trip with dinner and a trip to Wally's world for more bird seed and other treasures we couldn't leave behind! Will check the baby birds tomorrow, it was after dark when we made it home!

And then there were three. . .

The day has been delightful. Lunch in Langley at the Braeburn restaurant, some shopping, to the nursery for new plants, solved the problem (thank you, Mike!) of how deal with my photo library going crazy so that my thumbnails did NOT match my 4000 photos or titles. . . It's a bit unnerving to click on a picture of a painting only to find that it is actually a glacier in Chile! Must have been some gremlins, maybe the same ones that came through and bit only the flowers off the new plants . . .good thing I got some pictures . They now have cages. . .Nephew Jon did a fabulous job in the yard and beds weeding and such. AND we now have 3 babies. . . all eye spots and mouths. . . Sweet dreams.

new life

Gray, rainy start to a now bright day. Picked lavender and daisies. In my search for flowers, found this tiny baby in a nest Rockey discovered some time ago. . .congrats, proud papa.!!! Computer working as it should today despite its tantrum last night. Housecleaning day. Company tonite!

double double bluff

A sight not seen very often in these parts, between winds and tides, not usually clear enough for reflection. To add to this glorious start to the day, a strange buzzing sound produced a crazy person in an acrobatic plane skywriting (and just playing). Must have had a strong stomach. Birds continue to be great entertainment and flowers like this gotta make you smile! Nephew Jon and friend Colin dropped by and fedex after 4 stops over 2 weeks, finally arrived with the last of the desk parts, The desk is now a whole entity with multitudes of drawers instead of misc, pieces!!!! To top off the wonderful day, the all in one printer refused to send photos to the computer. After an hour or so of %$#@%^^&,, Jonathan finally came to the rescue, took him awhile, but he has more patience than I and didn't get angry with itt. (Like it did me alot of good. . .) Anyway, pictures are now ready for view! Happy trails!
