Damn!!! I could have been a contender, if she just could have held off until late August I would have won the pool!!

Well isn't she the selfish one, what's two more months of pregnancy compared to the joy I would have derived from winning.

Congratulations to you all! I have to admit to having a rather anxious evening after getting your message! Especially when at 6.24 while sitting at the dinner table I suddenly had a nose bleed (Ive never had one before and as Karmyn was on my mind I kind of got a bit freaked out!) I don't know what the time difference is but I do know it was certainly the 29th down here! So am happy with my prediction even though I don't win the comp! LOL

She was supposed to wait until June 3rd!

Sure ... I tried to get her delivered EARLY. My first pick of dates was chosen with HER COMFORT in mind ... but when she refused to hatch early, I picked June 3rd.

Hey. I just like June 3rd. It's June 3rd today as a matter of fact. But I don't think I'll have a baby today to compensate for the fact that Karmyn isn't having a baby today. LOL. I want to be skinny. Having babies doesn't seem to be conducive to being skinny.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! He is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! (What's his name? Karmyn didn't tell us either)

Love!

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
