Happy Birthday...!!

Max is 10 today....
Well
We don't know when his really real birthday is ...
but
we rescued him in September, the vet at that time, estimated he was 8 weeks old and if you count backward...you get the end of July..
So
Happy Birthday Max...!!

Missed It....

Yesterday afternoon a double rainbow appeared off the front porch...
for a few moments it morphed into a "triple" rainbow....
but
I missed the shot...
RATS!!!
First triple rainbow I've ever seen...
Maybe next time...  :()

What's with the wildlife...?

Strange things are happening up at the mountain park....
about two weeks ago, one of the rangers that lives in the park, found two tom turkeys fighting on the hood of his brand new car.....this pass Monday, I chased away two tom turkeys that were attacking the side of our seasonal rangers brand new car.....and yesterday we had a chipmunk hiding under our copier....
Of course I was by myself in the office when I saw the chipper run under the copier....
I propped open the front door and made a "bait" trail, using my cheese snack...then when our intern arrived we began to hunt for the little guy.....finally after about 2 hours, I had to make about 100 copies....as the copier turn on the chipper made a run for the door....our intern using a rotating-shooing arm motion and me playing linebacker at the copier, got him out the door....
Two grown women virus one less than a pound chipmunk.....it was tough but we did it...!!
As for the turkeys.....I think a contract on their lives is being considered....
But
The live traps are coming out of storage.
The local car dealership says it's the metallic paint....it acts like a mirror, the turkeys see themselves and go into attack mode....
Go Figure...!!

Social Media.....

I'm not a big fan of social media....
I don't tweet, instantgram, text or any of that stuff...I do have a Facebook site, just for keeping up with the kids and grand kids...now that written let me tell you about Buddy...
Tuesday, July 5th, I heard kids in the neighborhood calling for "Buddy"...
and thought to myself poor kids they've lost their dog...
Buddy showed up at our house on Thursday...very timid, would not come to us...
we saw him several times on Friday...same thing, he would run away...
On Saturday we saw him trying to get to Lula's food bowl....so i grabbed a dish, some wet food and went out to feed him....he was still timid and on a hunch i called out..."Buddy"....he immediately stopped and turned to look at me....could this be "the" Buddy?....
We got a picture about 4:30 in the afternoon....CityBoy and i both posted the picture on Facebook and the word spread at an alarming rate about a lost Chihuahua....
By 9:00pm  Buddy was safe in the arms of his Mommy and Daddy, they were camping down by the river and Buddy had run off due to the fireworks they had Monday night...
Buddy was one happy little camper and I finally found a use for Facebook other than spying on my kids....!!

Simple Things......

Like enjoying the firefly show while sitting on the covered front porch during a misty rain listening to the firework the neighbors were setting off....the smell of a BBQ grill cooling down, ice tea in a sweating canning jar, floating down the river on a tube, kids....dogs... cats....birds....some wild critters....and us living in peaceful harmony..
That's what living in the mountains are all about...
the Simple Things...
