Once Again....

..the driveway garden is blooming...!

Love those little blue flowers.

..Hope is Forever..

Face Off....

Max, Mia and Misskitty get along fairly well...

But

Every once in a while there is a little "spat" amongst the Divas....

..Hope is Forever..

Sorry....I'm late....

(just 2 of the park visitors-thanks Sarah for the pic)

Just had to many work related issues whirling around in my brain this morning...

Couldn't even think of a blog post...

the end of a Fiscal year is a taxing process...!!

..Hope is Forever..

Got Nothing....

...but, blue skys and high temps...

Looks like another A/C day..

..Hope is forever..

Hello...!

Another friend flew by the office to say..."Good Morning!"

..Hope is Forever..

Yesterday....

..about 8:45pm...

Can it get any better..?

..Hope is Forever..

It's that Time....!

Yep..!!

They're mowing again...

I can feel the pollens/sneezes heading my way!

..Hope is Forever..

Wal Mart Special....

..that's what I'm calling this little wall hanging..

Found this packet of precuts on the "craft" isle of my local Wally's...

the price was right..

sooooo....in the cart it went...

This is what i worked on when i had no other project in the works...

Took me forever to finish..

But

here it is.....I love the colors...

..Hope is Forever..

Monday....Monday....

...Just another beautiful summer day in the high country...

..Hope is Forever..

Misskitty....

...still the best watchdog (cat) on the Twelve Acre Wood...

..Hope is Forever..

Rain...rain...go away.....

Yes.....I know the mountains are in near drought conditions...

But

For the last few days we've had nearly an inch a day...

the rain is OK it's the thunder that comes with it...

That thunder is turning my furr babies into quivering little masses of breathing/panting hair...

Does anyone out there use a "thunder shirt or jacket"?

Do they work?

Mother Nature is not cooperating with me and my babies are

SCARED...!!

..Hope is Forever..

Wish List....

Mia's birthday is coming up soon...

Yesterday she told me the above big boy toy would make her life a whole lot easier...

and would be great for digging bigger and better holes...

 

I told her it wouldn't fit in her toy basket...

sooooo

just forget it...!!

 

She was not a happy camper...  ;(

..Hope is Forever..

Strange....

This funny looking pink cloud moved across the hollow Sunday in the late afternoon.

Looks a bit like an alien ship from some SI-FI movie..

I thought about making sweet tea

In hopes that beams of light and little large-eyed green men would start to appear...

Oh Well...

It was just the reflection of the sun and wind sheer....

..Hope is Forever..

TBT....

Looking at all the Throw Back Thursday posts yesterday..

inspired me to take a peak at some old photos stored on my hard drive and i came up with this pix of Max taken in 2010....before we started having him groomed....

He's soooooo cute...and now that we have him groomed....

We can see his face...!!

..Hope is Forever..

To Quote Garth.....

"And the Thunder Rolls"

The lightning...wind...rain show last night was unbelievable...

So glad for a covered front porch ... gives me a ring side seat...!

..Hope is Forever..

Like Mushrooms....

..big boy toys are popping up overnight in the front yard..

..Hope is Forever..

Another Barn Quilt Square...

The parental units finally decided where to hang their Christmas present.
"Three Cats and a Star"
Custom made by The Quilt Square Girls" here in Ashe County...
the Girls are having the grand opening of their new store this Friday.
the Store is located in downtown West Jefferson, NC...
You can also find them on Facebook.

Anyway the cats and star are up and adding color to the neighborhood...

..Hope is Forever.. 

New Neighbors....

We might have some new neighbors...

Some sort of bird flew out of one of the bird houses last Friday night as we were leaving for dinner...

Haven't seen much activity  as of yet

and then again maybe Mr. & Mrs. Bird was just looking...

..Hope is Forever..
