A Nice Afternoon

Yesterday afternoon was very nice-it was 80 degrees and sunny, with a slight breeze.  We took advantage of that to sit by the firepit for a while with the dogs.  They just kinda made their spot in the shade and stayed there instead of running around like they usually do.  Here's a few pictures.

My "Little Girl", Roxie

Looks like it's going to be another nice day today!

Time Flies

Time flies when you're having fun, they say. It also flies when you have WAY too many things going on at once. The last few weeks have been that way for me.


I'm hoping to get out again into the woods and do some more hiking and get some great pictures very soon.

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I heard a different kind of bird making noise in my yard--it was a male phesant! We had a female one that hung around a few years back, and got her to the point where we could throw handfuls of birdseed and she would run up and eat it. Hopefully we can make the same progress with this guy. I put out some corn for him this evening when I saw him again, so will be watching for him to come and eat it. Here's a picture of him!
