Can you see it? Our house in the rain drop.

Last year at this time we had had enough rain. This year, not enough. We got about 3 hours of much needed rain today. And we couldn't stay in and let it happen. We went out to play in it.

June, Be Gone

"How did it get so late so soon? December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?" -Dr. Seuss

Howdy, Monday. I can't believe that June is ending. It's seems like Summer break is zippin' on by so fast. We took a trip to CA last week to the Hub's family. The girls had a great time, I had a virus of some sort so I was out of commission for most of the trip. We'll be home for a couple of weeks then off on another trip. We had a nice weekend back. Just chilled at home mostly and celebrated our favorite friend's 3rd birthday.

July is looking like a very busy month for me. Some exciting things happening that I will elaborate on later. We'll be celebrating Vienne's 4th birthday over the next two weeks. Talk about time zippin' on by. I've been listening to her talk lately and taking it all in because I just love that little 3 year old voice.

This is My Best Shot for today. And, holla!! I'm a guest blogger at Shutter Sisters today! Go, see. And don't forget to participate there. Come on, make me look good.

What Do I Want?

Some air. I will be up soon.

Meanwhile, there's life at Stacy's.

Hello, Monday

Happy Father's Day to my great Hubby. We had a great Father's Day weekend. The girls gave Daddy his gift early so that he could set it up and use it, an XM radio. They're not so good with surprises anyway. We did lots of swimming, went to the Berges Fest for the parade and carnival rides, and had dinner with the Grands.

These will be My Best Shot for today.

Unfortunately, she flew into our patio door on Saturday and really knocked herself out. I heard the familiar "thunk" and went to find her laying on the porch. Natalya and I put her in a basket to watch her for awhile. She had a bum eye and don't know if she got it from the crash or not. She was so sweet and beautiful. Our little scientist found her in the bird book and turns out it is a Yellow Billed Cuckoo. When Daddy held her up, we hoped that she would take off but she didn't. Whe we had to leave for dinner we put her up in our playhouse hoping that when we got home she would have flown away. When we got home she was not in the playhouse anymore. But, a cat was. Could it be possible? We don't have cats, it was the feral one that lives nearby. No feathers or any trace of the bird was there so we are hoping that it flew away. Natalya named it Samantha. Bye bye, birdie.
