RIP Michael

I was very saddened to hear that such a music icon died yesterday! He was an awesome musician and performer. He will be greatly missed in the music world. My favorite music video of his was "Smooth Criminal" and I loved all his songs mainly equally yet I have a soft spot for "The Way you Make Me Feel". Truly a great loss.

Growing Up!

So hard to believe that my kid is going to be 20 in August! He's enjoying the summer right now, and is getting ready to go to the community college to take a placement test sometime next month. I think we will go out one day next week and see if he can find a part time job.

Baby Birds

We have a birds nest in one of the rose bushes! Not sure what kind of bird it is, it appears to be some sort of finch type bird, as it is very tiny. Anyway, we discovered it awhile back and I've been monitoring the activity as I can.

So, I got to looking when the mommy was gone, and guess what!?! There are babies now! You can't make them out really good in the pictures, they were just little fuzz balls. Its very hard to get a good shot, as the nest is just out of reach without stretching and hoping for a good shot.

I will continue to update as the wee ones grow.

The mommy sets on the nest faithfully. I've only happened upon it a few times without her around.

Hummingbirds are Back!

Below is a picture of a hummingbird getting a drink of nectar out of the feeder. Yuck, its gotta be hot! They love it though, and become quite territorial over the feeders. Not much else to talk about today. Staying inside, till I leave for work.

Happy Father's Day!

Today I went to see my Dad for Father's Day. This is one of the pictures I put in a card I made for him. This is him holding me when I was a wee one of 1 month.

Here is the other picture that was enclosed in the card. He was very surprised! Wow, just the reaction I was going for! Last night Jonathan, and LB went to mom and dad's church for a Father/Son dinner. Nothing fancy, just a get together, they said they had a good time. I stayed home with the dogs and we chilled in front of the tv and caught up on some old CSI episodes that I hadn't watched.

Jonathan went home with his Papaw and spent the night and I picked him up today when they got back from church.

I fixed LB a nice dinner of salad, steak(left in a bit too long, tougher than I like), bread, and baked potatoes. Yummy! We all ate good.

Of course he and my dad both spent part of their day splitting some of the wood that they have taken to their yards.
