Mia

Our friends got a wonderful, glorious, warm ball of fuzz and
exuberance this week; Mia, the baby Golden Doodle. Between Mia and
Bitty, the worlds coolest Jack Russell, i'm finding myself quite
smitten by puppy love.

This is a test for Mom

Can you follow NOW?! :-)

Hm. Looks like we're still sending notes

The technology's just changed a bit since the three of us were doing
this in elementary school

Old reminscing and new beginnings

Heidi and Molly - 10 days old. Heidi and I have known each other since
we were about this size ourselves.

This one's for John and Elaine!

I took a break from painting for the past two days to go blading' and
running in one of my favorite places: the Loveland Bike Trail. This is
a shot of my favorite swimming hole, and I love the way the clouds
look billowing up.

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

Early Buffett throngs

It's 5:00 somewhere

Ahhhh... What a great time!

Downright creepy

Yet so intriguing. This guy came all the way from Kansas and his car
is covered; COVERED in teeth, toothpaste, dentures, and toothbrushes.
The headless dentist mounted on the top is an especially nice touch..

Park on bike trail

St Louis bike trail

We were really smitten with the bike trail in st Louis - this is a
park that they're building - I thought it was great! It runs through
the old industrial part of downtown and along the arch park and
waterfront. Quite nice. I stopped and talked to a guy on a bike who
said it was slated to be part of a trail that runs from Minnesota to
the Gulf of Mexico. Pretty cool!

Location to come in next shot...

Luna moth liberation

Luna moth

Steve also found a Luna moth. The coolest thing about them are those
antennae, but unfortunately, it just didn't want to focus on them

Another baby found while bush hogging

I've never found a terrapin that put up this much of a fight - she
kicked and stayed out swingin' the whole time I was holding her.

Baby lizards

Baby lizards

Baby lizards!

Steve uncovered a pile of little baby lizards while he was bush
hogging the woods this morning. I was enchanted, and they won my heart
when they all piled up on my hand in the sun and got sleepy.

Chiggers Suck.

That's all I have to say about that.
