wee Im first!

I think....

very good photos. The purple flower is my fave.

Scooter (my horse) has a bird friend that follows him around in the evenings and picks bugs off him, its funny to watch.

LAstnight his bird friend may have went hungry because I gave Scooter an extra good bug-spraying..

Barngoddess: most likely a cowbird. males are dark with brown heads. females are brown.

Debs: you're welcome and thank you, too

WT: I'm not textually challenged... I'm just pooped. Isn't that the excuse you used??? (:

I now have some of those flowers growing in my back yard. Someone said it's "Echinacea". Does anyone know if that's correct?

I nervously checked the compost crock and the garbage can and even peeked in the oven to see if a piece of meat had been left to die there.
