Minnie's new owl collar and tag! Love this tag- it stays on perfectly but is easily removable so I can switch it from collar to collar.

Finally new floors in the bathrooms!

Bees on flowers!

Minnie loves rolling in the neighbors grass - guess we need to plant some for her!

I love this window! House is locate about a block away from work, and I had never seen it before yesterday when Phoebe and I walked by at lunch. I love old houses.

Later, hummingbirds!






Calliope hummingbirds at the feeder!

The Showy Daisy.

Went to the store tonight. Remember when the only marshmallows available were small, large and multicolor for fruit salad? Now they have all kinds of flavors. This one sounded the grossest. Pink Lemonade? What would you even do with that!!?

July 21, 2014


New tomatoes! Now they have a protective cage!

I love watching the hummingbirds!

We went out for burgers at the Skirted Heifer - delicious and then ended the night at Supernova. Vintage video games and beer!

Many times I think that I really want a particular beer that I had in the past and then I am disappointed when it isn't as good as I remembered. I have been wanting Zon for a while and we finally got some. Just as good as remembered- oh so tasty!

Carl dyed my hair last night- looks pretty good! Haircut tomorrow.

Cherries, my favorite!

We had a great visit with the Anne, Craig, Isabelle and Delilah! Foster & Marilyn too. I think Craig was still on a tour of the garage when this was taken.

The feisty Roufus Hummingbird.

Not for sale but I loved this stove at the estate sale- super cool.


If I hadn't just bought the Brasilia this bedroom set would have been mine. Very nice Kent Coffey - love the mirror shape.


I really wanted to steal this fox statue that was outside of one of the condo's at Carl's Mom's house but of course I didn't.


Dinner at the Stagecoach Inn.

Spent two hours at the eye doctor to decide that I don't want to have surgery again on my left eye.
I wanted to take a picture of my crazily dilated eyes but my stupid battery was dead.

Finally got my new record that I ordered in May-- I guess they had to make more. Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music.

Weed perhaps but looks like a tiny Morning Glory to me!

Iris is a pretty little girl. So tiny!

July 7, 2014


She didn't get this one.

July 6, 2014


This girl ate all the leaves and two tomatoes off my tomato plant, one whole geranium and part of a second one. Here she is snacking on a tree as a little after dinner snack. Sigh.


Enjoying some Boulevard Brewing Tank 7 in our festive vintage glasses.

Phoebe found this cute little guy outside the Bon shopping center. Carl liked to call him Pepe. 


Gorgeous hollyhocks over in the Stiles garden.
