The holiday weekend is ending with a rousing game of Rummicube.

The tiki torches are lit. It must be close to summer, at least it's our attempt to keep the bugs at bay.

Meet Tangles. She also belongs to Liz, and is quite the introverted cat. She was quite courageous tonight and ventured downstairs, even though there was a *dog* down there.

Some 4th and 5th graders started a gardening project in the early spring. Their plants are growing like wildfire! This is looking down on a corn plant.

I'm pulling one out of the archives today in honor of Mr. Bryan. He had a bad fall last night and fractured his femur. He's looking at some surgery to repair his leg, and also looking at a lengthy recovery period.

Liz is home for summer and brought her two cats, Tommie and Tangles. This is Tommie, hanging out on Liz's lap.

Donald and I got to do something fun and different on Friday. There was a golf tournament just a few miles away from our house so we decided to go check it out. It was a part of the Nationwide Tour, so the guys playing are like the "minor league" in baseball. I've never known that much about golf, but I can at least follow what's going on. This guy's name is Scott Sterling, and I love the look of concentration on his face. He was on the fairway of the 10th hole, and just took his shot to the green.

Took a break and walked outside with my camera today. This was the most interesting thing I saw.

One of the best things about living in the south are magnolia trees when they bloom. The blossoms are huge, and they smell so sweet!

Sometimes I get lucky and see something really cool AND I have my camera. This is what happened today as I was walking home from the pool. I'm not sure if it is a moth or butterfly, but I thought it was really pretty.

I've known these girls for 28 years. You would think after all this time, we'd run out things to say. But the entire evening, and this morning, was just like this. Non stop chatter.

Meet the newest member of the technology team. She's 12 days old and has already wrapped the rest of the team around her finger.

This is my buddy Che. My friend Lesley belongs to him. You can't tell from this picture, but he has the best dog eyes I've ever seen.

Nothing speaks to summertime and childhood to me as much as honeysuckle, one blossom at a time.

My latest attempt to deter the squirrels. I figure if I can't beat 'em, give 'em their own food. Donald said during the day today, one squirrel guarded the feeder like it was sacred, bullying all the other squirrels and not letting them get near.

Walking through courtyard in Louisburg today, and heard these tiny chirps. It didn't take long to spot these baby birds. The mother bird stayed very close, and was making sure I wasn't going to harm her babies.

We're lucky to live in an area that has a wide variety of wild life. Every once in a while, we get a chance for a good shot of something. I believe this is a red shouldered hawk.

Visiting my mother today, and her backyard is covered in clover. We used to take these flowers and make daisy chain necklaces and bracelets. I still think of summertime whenever I see a field of clover.

Today is guest photographer day. Donald grabbed the camera while I was trying to get a picture of the hummingbirds. Here you have me in my normal pose, with the dog on my lap.

I had such a busy day today that there wasn't much time for pictures. Thank goodness for cell phone cameras, or I would have to dig through the archives. Saw this cool cloud as Donald and I were leaving dinner.

For the longest time, I thought I we had bumble bees in our yard. Then, we started noticing little piles of sawdust under our chairs. Unfortunately, they are wood boring, carpenter bees. From our research, we've learned that the males don't sting, but they put on a while intimidation act trying to scare you away. While I was trying to get this picture, he flew so close to me that I could feel the breeze from his wings.

Today is Donald's birthday! His favorite color is blue, so in honor of his special day, here's a picture of blue. In this case, the chair and ottoman in our den.

We're painting the outside of our house. Donald is doing the majority of the work himself, but we'll need to get help when we move to the front. You can't tell from this picture, but just on the other side of the deck is a drop equivalent to another floor level. Consequently, he's not allowed to go up on the ladder on that end of the deck unless I'm home.

According to the dog, this is the best part of the day. And he gets to do it in the morning and in the afternoon!
