Uncle Melvin's pretty garden!!!

I love to look for Uncle Melvin in the morning's when I leave for work. You can usually find him this time of the year in the middle of a row in his garden! I love these big o' squash blooms & his onions look like baseballs in the dirt!

Look what a found in my rose bush!!

I just squealed very loudly when I was prowling around in my

back flowerbed & ran up on this bird nest! I doesn't even look real!!

~~FYI, oh FYI~~~I'm really thinking it's a Cardinals nest now!!! oh me!!!

I just have to keep my nosey self away from it so I won't get my eyes pecked out!!

Helen's showing off her flowers... ;-)

I've told moma on a couple of occasions that I'm gona "transplant" her hot pink calla lilies, I mean from her flowerbed to mine! She let me know right fast like that wouldn't be wise thing to do! Since I got behind on my blogging she has also celebtated a birthday on May 17th!!

Decoration 2009

~Everyone was able to come in last weekend for decoration where Jeff's daddy is buried. You can also see a couple little rascals who tried to smell some of the artificial flowers & who got in trouble for digging in a bird nest they ran across!

~we had a air & bird show !!

We are not to far from hwy 75 & 168 so it put us in a pretty good view of the airshow that was going on a couple weekends ago. We could hear everything real good & I just catch the planes real good. While I was out running around the yard Jeff pointed out our buddy was back so I could catch him a little better than than the planes. Red headed woodpecker! Who'd thunk it?

I've got to get caught up in my blogging!

in short...this is what it's all about everyday!

Bassmaster's was in Horton not Guntersville?

We had some company Sat. eve. & for a little bit on Sun. morning Jeff & Doc got in alot of necessary fishingtime, they were catching them as fast as they could reel them in! Doc stayed very busy cleaning a good mess of them also!

~Little Smarty's!!!!

~Well, you can see in the top picture the little pair of birds have been trying to claim a post under our porch for their new home. After several attempts with moth balls which they nicely rolled them off outta their way! So, I had a "IDEA" ! I took a rubber snake I had on hand from a previous adventure & stretched him out from corner to corner, Yea, that was gonna fix it! I had out smarted them little birds after all! I go by the door every bit of 20 min's later & she's using the dang snake as a PERCH!!!!!!!!! So i gave up & let them little determined birds just carry on with their business! I just hope they don't mess up our porch & leave it like they found it! I'll keep you posted....... that is the loving couple at the top of my blog......Heckle and Jeckle~

I love a rainy night....

~this is the water crossing our road & our neighbors driveway this morning! YIKES
