First of The Month - Watch Them Grow

Can it already be JUNE?  It is time for First of the Month, hosted by Jan @ Murrieta 365.

The goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first of each month. It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your focus is, is fine. It can even be a record of where you are each First of the Month.

My theme is my three grandchildren, Zbub, Mizelle, and Dinkum. It is called:
Watch them grow!

This is the same route (through the neighbors yard) that my three daughters walked from the bus stop so many years ago.  After Z-bub jumped off the bus, the three grands rushed ahead to beat grandma to the gate.  The sweet scene had me pulling out my cell phone and capturing the moment.


Mizelle, just turning 2,  is at the age where potty training is all the rage...which lead to an interesting conversation with grand children one morning last week.

Grandpa and Grandma followed a trail of water that lead all the way from the powder room to the family room where Mizelle was playing beside a sopping wet stuffed animal leaving a puddle on the floor.

Grandpa:  "Oh my Mizelle, what happened?"

Mizelle:  "Kitty go potty."

:) Such a sweet photo - your cellphone did a nice job.

So this path has been used for generations huh? Interesting how we follow the footsteps of our parents.

Hahaha ! that's sweet ! I don't see my little grandson very often so far 4 times, Birth, Christmas, Feb and May. He is nearly 7 months old now. Unfortunately he has hysterical parents, both of them ! The poor thing can't even make a little "quack" that both are running ! Honnestly I feel like a mother and not like a grandmother ! they are the grandparents !In short they are getting on my nerves. Strange situtation, lol !

Grands on a mission! They're so cute when they hop off the bus with all their "stuff". And beware, don't ever try to put the 2-year old on the witness stand if you're the prosecution! :-)

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...
