Three chicks
The chicks are growing up. Cottage cheese is a special treat.
Dudley
Whenever I give him a chew (this one was chosen because of its supposedly superior teeth cleaning abilities) Dudley will lay with it between his paws for about a half an hour. I have never been able to decide if he is savoring the anticipation, or hoping desperately that somebody will come along and try to take it from him.
Hummingbird with Rainbow
Yesterday evening, Jack and I spent some time on the deck watching the thunderstorm and the resulting rainbow.
Dianthus
I am told by experienced gardeners that these are not the plants I put in the ground last year, but the results of those plants reseeding themselves. In any event, they make a spectacular show.
Pansy
This pansy is a survivor. The local bunny population apparently viewed my planting pansies as the opening of a new salad bar, and ate them down to the roots. However, this one has struggled its way back, and even managed to bloom.
Morning skies
Jack
I took this photo at the reception of a wedding that Jack and I attended on Friday. It was held at the Officers Club at the Air Force Academy which has very nice facilities. Jack and the bride’s mother used to go to elementary school together, so it is safe to say we are old friends of the family. We found seats next to one of the bride’s high school teachers and his wife. I told them that it had never occurred to me to invite one of my teachers to a wedding. His wife says it happens a lot. He must be a great instructor.
Arnie
My friend’s cat Arnie, like many cats before him, discovers that it is easier to go up a tree than down. Fortunately, the lowest branch of this Ponderosa pine was close enough to the ground that my friend was able to lift him down.
Rainbow
I saw this rainbow yesterday from a house that sits high above Colorado Springs. The owners of the house generously host the monthly meetings of the Inkslingers, the rubber stamp club to which I belong. The members take turns giving demos and workshops: last night, we worked on fabric stamping a canvas tote.
