• This 'n That

  TGIF !!! The week sure did fly by! Of course, July was gone in a blink of an eye.
  
  We have another milestone birthday coming up next month. (I just recently turned 50) now daughter will be turning 21.   Gah..talk about time zipping by!

  

  She is one special girl, for sure. We got to have a bit of time together the other day, which is always nice.  We went to a few new consignment shops & then had to stop by the park (seems to have become a weekly thing!) so she could see her friend Edgar (the donkey ). 
  She has just gone through a rough time & has had her heart broken. Any mom (or dad) out there knows that when this happens to your baby girl (yes, she will always be our baby) then your own heart breaks as well. But unfortunately, such is life and we all must go through it...usually more than once.  Even though it doesn't seem like it at the time, we do learn from it & grow. 
  
  
  I love my sweet girl.

  Even if she has developed this weird obsession with asses  I mean donkeys

  

  This just cracked us up...
  
  I believe that Edgar has taken a liking to this horsey!
  

  
  Miss Bessy seems a little put off at their PDA!

  

   

   

  We had to take one of our cats to the vet the other day. 

  
  Big Red...see the difference between his ears?...the right one is all puffed & swollen & red. I thought that he either had gotten bit by something or had an infection.
  He has a Hematoma of the ear. Since it was so fresh & so big, the vet decided not to cut into it just yet as he was afraid that he would just get home & bleed all over the house.
  So we are having to give him meds each day and he is scheduled for surgery next Wed. which he will also need to stay overnight so they can keep an eye on the bleeding.
  Poor baby...he is going to freak having to be away from home all by himself.

   

  Hubby was pretty excited to start seeing some nice sized bucks appearing on the game camera....

  

  

  Also had more turkeys hanging out in the yard the other day...
  

  Of course, none of these will be around come hunting season!

  I always just bring my point & shoot camera when we go out on the boat on weekends. There are times that I wish I had my good one with me with the better zoom.

  
  I could have gotten a much better shot at this eagle (actually one of 3 that we saw this day)

  
  and of the heron

  
  and of my favorite....the loon

  There is rain & storms in the forecast for the entire weekend   So who knows is we will get to go fishing this weekend.

  I finally have some sunflowers that are starting to pop up around the birdfeeders. They aren't the huge ones, but they will do

  

  
  
  The apple trees aren't doing so great this year. But I am sure they will be sufficient food for the deer & the bears
  
   

   

  I saw this little guy on my patio the other day when I was inside vacuuming, so I grabbed my camera & got a couple of shots before he flew away...

  
  Poor thing was missing some of his wing

  
  But I was surprised to see that the underside of his wings were orange while his outter side was blue ?

   

  I hope you all have a great weekend.
