Lizard

One of the lizards wasn't so lucky today. Willy stalked him, and we thought he'd gotten away and that Willy had given up after the lizard made it to safety underneath the freezer. A while later, the poor lizard was a goner. Chris was rather impressed with Willy's tenacity.

Deer

There is a family of deer that live in the woods behind our house. We hadn't seen them in a while and I had never been successful in my attempts at getting a photo of them. Chris called me out on the porch this evening, so I tiptoed back in the house to get my camera. Shot a few through the screen, then remembered the garage door was open, so I quietly went out and managed to snap a few decent shots.

Patience pays off

Patience pays off, I got a bunch of photos of the bluebird, this one is my favorite.

Bluebird

We have some Bluebirds that hang out around the house. I've been trying to catch a photo of one of them for a while now. I was sneaking outside to snap one on the birdhouse, but by the time I got out there, it was flying away. I managed to get this one when it landed on a nearby tree. I'll keep trying.

New curtain

My mom made this curtain for me and Chris. She gave it to us a few months ago, and we finally got it put up today. This is the door to the garage. I'm taking the photo from my bedroom, so it is nice to have a curtain up for a little extra privacy. We wanted something that would let some light in.

She and I went to Ohco (a fabric outlet) and found the fabric in a remnant bin. It was only a few dollars. Thanks Mama.

Willy's a little sick

Willy's got a little upper respiratory infection. I took him to the vet this morning, so he's on antibiotics and eye drops for about a week. He seems to be feeling fine, the infection just showed up in his eyes like it always does. We started the treatment early, but he's still not going to be happy having to take his medicine.

Go Kart Racing

Ty and I went to Starcadia for a day of fun. Ty is my 13 year old nephew. He was really fun to hang out with. I had a good time with him. And yes, he beat me both times we raced. Altogether, I think he raced 12 times. We played 4 rounds of putt-putt. (I won 2 of the rounds, and yes Ty, I'm rubbing it in! He won 1 and we tied the other. I even managed to get 3 hole in 1's. He got 2 hole in 1's I think.) He did the rock climbing wall, the bungee trampoline jump, and the batting cages.
