I love the look on his face. He couldn't figure out why I was walking around the yard and not sitting down so he could be on my lap.

The opening of school is always hectic. I'm exhausted, as you can see in my eyes.

I have an unnatural fondness for cookbooks and will buy one every chance I get. Here's a small sampling of my collection. I'm running out of room.

I've taken lazy pictures lately. Found this mushroom in our backyard. Gave me a chance to play with settings again.

This male hummingbird has claimed this feeder as his own. He perches here just about all day, and shoos away any other bird that tries to drink.

Almost missed taking a photo of the day today. Right before I went to bed, I snapped a photo of Thug.

This is what a typical evening at our house looks like. Donald on the couch with Thug, I sit in the empty spot, both with computers. What you can't see is the recliner where Dottie is.

Out on the beach this morning, Donald and Dottie had a biscuit for breakfast. It didn't take long for the seagulls to realize there was food nearby. This bird grabbed a morsel of Dottie's biscuit.

Some people call this a chameleon, but it is not a chameleon, it is an anole. When I did my student teaching, we had an anole as a pet. The children named him Clicker.

We've lost count at how many hummingbirds we have. At last count it was 9, but we know there are more than that. We put more feeders out, 5 little ones and two big ones. We could watch these birds like TV.

When I was a little girl, we called these Tommy Toes. Now we call them cherry tomatoes. Whatever you call them, I'm glad they're coming in now!
