These are a few of my favorite things

My favorite seasons are Spring and Fall. Fall because it's the beginning of the end... of the year and all the fun I have with doing the Holidays and Spring because it's the "beginning"; for me anyway.

Spring pulls me out of my winter depression. I smile a real smile, I feel better.

I'm allergic to everything in my yard but I get so excited in the spring to clean up the yard, plant flowers and get the lawn furniture and tiki torches out! The trees in the back yard make a great canopy of privacy to sit under and read or just sit and watch the cat and dog play.

Last year the cat killed a baby bird and for a long time the parents of this baby were bent! They would sit on the roof and watch for Lucy-fur to come outside and then begin DIVE BOMBING her! They followed her everywhere. Front yard to back yard, coming within inches of the sinister beast that was murdering their young.

Great free entertainment.

But one of my favorite things to see in the spring are the bikers. Not the one's in tight shorts with good legs (but that's not bad either) but the big hairy guys and chicks on their Hogs! Crusin' State street or on the freeway it's fun to watch and it's a definite sign of spring.

Tax Day

Such a Happy Day! I think Nate's getting a whopping $24.00 back.

My, how kids grow

I don't know...who does she look more like? Me or her Dad? Not that it really matters, It's just kind of interesting. She's dark~eyes, hair, skin, like her dad. But, depending on the expression on her face and her mood, I can see me. Isn't that amazing how it works.

I think God took the best from Beth's Dad and I and made what you see in this picture. I'm pretty impressed with His work! :)

Keepers of the Gate

So, Stockton(dog) has been here alot longer then Lucy-Fur(cat). He does all the normal dog things like scratch at the door incesently when he wants out...or in. He watches the fish in the tank and tries to paw and bite at them through the glass.
But the one think that is a constant in our home is Stockton the sentinal! He is our "neighborhood watch." It doesn't matter what it is, he's up there on the chair watching through the plantation shutters; that he opens himself with his nose and aligns just right to get the perfect view.
We've had Lucy-Fur for 2 1/2 years now and we've noticed some things. She scratches at the door incesantly when she wants out...or in. She lays on top of the fish tank and hangs off the side to get a better look at the fish to paw at them through the glass and...

She sits on the table, opens the shutters with her paw in just the right position to watch everything going on in the neighborhood! This cat obeys NO ONE! but watches every dumb thing the dog does and is now copying him! I'm just glad she hasn't figured out how to BARK!

Posers!

These are my posers. Both the babies in this family of yours and mine.
