BACK SCRATCHING, GARDEN LOVE AND GNOMIE

This is the grey boy loving life..

he does this everytime I run him

to the park .. this

is when he's the happiest...

Ok, I wouldn't have thought this was possible

but yet, here it is.. two morning doves on

one tea cup feeder.. a small, dainty tea cup..

their balance is improving by the week..

Here are my growing elephant ears!!!!!

I'm so excited that they're doing so well and getting so big!!!

A RARE SIGHT, SHOTS FROM THE GARDEN AND SUMMERTIME PAGE

A rare photo of Riley laying down in the grass out back!

For some reason he doesn't like the feel of grass on his belly.. I guess I might not

either with all those weeds mixed in..

The theme is Summer.
I've been making these pages to write letters to wounded and deployed soldiers
through the
http://soldiersangels.org
website.
If anyone is interested you can sign up to write letters.. or you can "adopt" a deployed soldier
and send a care package once a month and write a letter to them every week.
Good stuff.. and a lot of soldiers on the waiting list for that little extra support.

TRYING TO FLY.. BIRD BATH AND THE WRITTEN WORD

The flying grey...

He was running like the wind all afternoon!!!

I managed to get a picture of this sweet bird

bathing out in the flower garden..

all those little white spots are the water droplets from his shaking his wings out..

kind of cool..

I used the words from "It's a wonderful world"

STALKING, SUMMER TEA, PEPPERS, BEES AND WINGED DREAMS

Here is an action shot of the boy trying to pounce on

two birds in the backyard..

(no birds were harmed in the taking of this photo, they were too fast for him!!)

He stalked and chased them on and off for over an hour while

we sat out back enjoying the beautiful weather.

Here's a picture of the ice teas I've been brewing myself.. I loved

the color of the Mango and the Raspberry Pomegranite is my fav!

If anyone wants the recipe just let me know in comments and

I'll add to the next post!

My Summer Peppers!!!
