Day 151

A pretty little something I don't know the name of that I found blooming in the yard.

Day 150

I didn't want sweet little Lizzy to feel left out.

Day 149

Playing Dice on grammy's phone in grammy's glasses.  Jack cracks me up!

Day 148

Look who can swim all the way across the pool without floaties this year.

Day 147

Take that, Aunt Abby!  Jack was having a great time with the garden hose at Aunt Katie and Uncle Mark's house.

Day 146

Is it just me or is there an over abundance of butterflies this year?

Day 145

Now,  we're stylin!

Day 144

I saw this on Facebook yesterday and was touched by how true it really is 

Day 143

Those ants must done their job because the peonies are beautiful!

Day 142

Not every little girl gets to cut her birthday cake with a big old ninja sword.

Day 141

Happy 6th (gulp) Birthday to my sweet Natalie.  She was the one who made me a grammy and has a very special place in my heart.  I love you, baby!!

Day 140

I am thinking of a hibiscus for the patio by the hot tub.  What do you think?

Day 139

I took the preschoolers on a nature walk.   We came upon this mommy kill dear who wasn't very happy to see us while she was sitting on her nest.  She did some serious squacking.

Day 138

Natalie was sure that Katie and Lizzy would run her over.  So sure in fact, her feet aren't even touching the ground as she runs away from them. 

Day 137

Sometimes, I just can't believe how cute Jack is.

Day 136

Some of Katie's beautiful roses.

Day 135

Peek a Boo!

Day 134

It was the best Mother's Day ever!

Day 133

Sharon said she is enjoying my "botany" pictures.  I don't mean it to be like that, but it just seems like it is that time of year.  I got this swallow tail butterfly with the camera on my phone.  He was outside the window of the staff lounge at lunch on Friday.  The picture doesn't do his color justice, but it's not bad for through a window with my cellphone.

Day 132

I think I might need a new thermometer.

Day 131

The butterflies are free!

Day 130

Some of my iris finally bloomed.

Day 129

Don't they say you need ants to make a peony bloom?  I have ants!

Day 128

A budding blogger in grammy's glasses.

Day 127

The best seat in the house.

Day 126

While the super moon at perigee was very nice, I just don't see what all the hype was about.  I don't think it was any different than any other full moon except that it may have been brighter later in the night.  I was expecting so much more.  They made it sound like it was going to be like something out of a science fiction movie.  Nothing at all like the pictures they were showing on the internet.  I for one was disappointed.  :(

Day 125

Today's photo credit goes to Sarah.  I am watching the kids while Sarah and Nick are in Wisconsin for Nick's marathon.  I forgot to post today's photo before I left home.  Needless to say, I only have access to the pictures on Sarah's computer.  Lucky for me, I found this adorable shot of Natalie before the father/daughter dance.  Hope you enjoy it. 

Day 124

Lizzy the builder.

Day 123

Even soaking wet, this iris is still beautiful.

Day 122

The birthday girls and Natalie.

Day 121

I hope the frost didn't hurt my peony bush.
