Say "hello" to my leetle friend....(read with a french accent)

This little critter was hanging out by the garden yesterday...
at least she wasn't enjoying my tomato plants!

How does your garden grow?

It seems to be growing quite well this year, thanks.

We seem to have succeeded
at keeping the deer away from the tomatoes.
Finally!!

We're gonna have lots of apricots too.

Ditto on the apples.

Free-ranging

Today we let the chickens out to free-range.
They LOVED it!

Their favorite spot seemed to be under the grapes.
They ate them, too.

This is a cute shot of them,
minus Helga,
who was hanging out on top of one of the retaining walls.

More birthday pics

This lovely smile is what I got the SECOND time I asked for a nice smile.

This is what I got the FIRST time I asked her to smile.
I think she decided to turn into cake monster.
A classic!

Bubble Swim

Why have just a swim, when you could have a BUBBLE SWIM?!
College girls like it too. :)
