This might be a good way to go around the “No Pets” problem. No food to buy either but pretty cute – and welcoming!

Ketchup vs Mustard…
by admin on Jul.30, 2010, under Real Estate

I have to admit to being a great fan of mustard. This is sort of the condiment version of the old “vanilla or chocolate” ice cream question – which is used preferred – ketchup or mustard?
At least one person on the planet leaves no question as to his condiment “leanings.” He is mustard – through and through…
Read his story here and have a great weekend!
“Scoot” across your lake or pond…

Now THIS looks like fun! And, good exercise you won’t even notice…my favorite kind…
This unique hydrofoil frame allows you to skim across water simply by hopping gently up and down, propelling you as fast as 17 mph (about 4 times faster than anyone could swim). At only 26 lbs., the lightweight aircraft aluminum and fiberglass frame is easy to transport to a dock or boat for launch. Don’t forget your vest!

Got some of these seeds from my Mom (thanks!)
Many of the blooms are buttercup yellow but this one bloomed yesterday with almost a Fall-color look.

Friday Video – TGIF…Haven’t seen the Goldfinch doing this…yet!
What goes around….

Have been watching this Goldfinch feast on the first and now the second sunflower. The sunflower is only there because of the bird feeding in the Spring. One seed must have fallen just right and received enough water to grow and bloom – through gravel!
Sounds like a well-laid plan between the Wrens and the Goldfinch….

If anyone ever calls you a “bird-brain, ” say “Thank you.”
A spot in the shade…

Found this little guy sitting on the leaf of a Mexican Coneflower. He seems quite happy to be sitting 3 feet off the ground in the semi-shade…

What do you think of this hot weather?

Not sure if this is what they are discussing. Maybe the topic is the fact that I had just refilled their feeder with cold juice on a 99-degree day?
