Billie, you really outdid yourself this morning with the lovely opening of our “Wear Red Fridays”. Looks so patriotic! And our celebrations for today sound so good. Watermelon, peahes, yum and the balloons are so lovely with their reflections. Did you work all night, dear?
I have some catching up to do in the house but I’ll check my computer very often, between chores~~LOL~~
Thanks for your cheeriness at Amy’s.
She DOES wear red very well, doesn’t she!
Would this be you, Billie Blue?
One would think that Georgia would be the one having a Peach Festival, not Massachusetts!
Not me. :) I'm not quite *that* colorful - or that young. :) I think she's probably some teenager in some Disney-type TV show or movie, but don't really know for sure.
Awwwwwwww...wish they had shown up the morning that we
were there! We did see lots of sweet birdies, though!
....and had LOTS of wonderful, lovingly-prepared food!
(((hugs)))
Such wonderful pictures, yorkie! I had heard you talk about your thistle socks not too long ago. Thank you so much for posting your beautiful pictures. And you told me you didn’t know much about digital cameras??? You’ve been keeping secrets from us!
The only reason I asked was that you said “I wear a lot of red” and “I wear a lot of other colors”. Sooooooo, I took it literally! I was born on April Fools Day, ya know, and you can pull jokes on me.
Ohhhh, how beautiful they are! Up close and personal, too! How fun it must have been to watch them.
Well, I did the < center > thing - but it didn’t quite work. LOL! Next, I will share some pictures of the wild pigs (javelina) in my yard, taken from my kitchen window.

Yes, you did look out that window Luv! I used to feed the coyotes all my left overs. Every evening, I would go out into the yard, and whistle. About 12 coyotes would appear, as soon as they heard the ‘dinner bell’. But, when I saw one of them eyeing my little furry kid, and licking his chops, the Kitchen closed - permanently! (Same with the javelina - I would feed them chicken scratch - but they got greedy - and the boar tried to bust into my enclosed porch. Kitchen closed for them, too!)
Besides, it is now against the law to feed the wildlife.
The waves lap at our feet as
we dance together through the sand.
You smile at me and grab my hand
as we start to run.
We wrestle in the soft sand letting it
flow through our fingers.
We lay down and let the sand cascade
slowly over our bodies.
You lean in to kiss me ever so softly,
holding each other so close.
We relax as the ocean waves go in and out,
watching the sunset as we become as one.
.
Oh, yorkie..Your pictures are terrific..I love critters.
I don’t have deer or goldfinches visit here. Having so many goldfinches so close must be quite a sight!
My favorite raccoon finally came last night after a 3 day absence. My critter visits have slacked off.
Good morning, MEG - beautiful amaryllis!
