What made you smile today.

My latest dollar store bird-house painted and hanging in the oak tree.

The chickadees are back. :) I welcomed them with open arms. Some are new ones, fledglings, I imagine, as they are smaller and a little scruffy looking.

 Their heads are tinier than the adults and they seem to fly from branch to branch as if playing. I counted thirty in the maples right near the feeders. It`s so wonderful to see them again and hear the familiar "chickadee..dee...dee...dee...dee." I hope they stick around now.

We picked a few yellow beans off our two bean plants today. There are plenty more that are almost ready.

And dear, adorkable Audrey.

This is how she watches tv with me at night. Every once in awhile I put my finger in under the blanket and she bites it. Great fun. :-b

We are in for lots of sunny, summery days. Would you believe it`s time to cut the grass again. Who needs a gym when you live in the country.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend & Happy July 4th to all my American friends.

hugs, Deb
