I Am Way Behind, Day 148 and 149

I cannot get over the color of my puppy's feet! They remind me of candy with the combination of pink and brown. I don't recall ever having a puppy with this color feet before. The pink does make for good subject matter...





We got 4 cubic yards of mulch delivered Saturday and we have LOTS of outdoor work to do over the coming days. My kids helped me out by getting the mulch where it needed to be. My son actually asked that I take a picture of him atop the mulch pile!

I am two days behind everybody else in my photo blogging. Being under the weather can cause these setbacks but I will be catching up and I will be visiting all of you guys too.

The Look Of Adoration, Day 147

Spontaneous photo I took this evening. Ruby was tired and mellow....

Puppy Arsenal, Day 146

If you have a puppy, this is only 1/4 of the supplies you will need! I didn't have the other 8 chew toys we have for her. Just like the boy scouts motto says, we are always prepared.

Fresh Veggies, Day 145

Our Memorial Day dinner was very colorful thanks to four different colored peppers - add in some shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, teryaki sauce, and brown rice and you have a great dinner.

I hope everybody enjoyed a wonderful holiday with those they love.

Time Out, Day 144

Puppies have teeth, many razor-sharp painful little teeth. Time-out is needed frequently when Ruby uses these teeth. Thank goodness I have an old playpen from when my kids were babies.

Kayaking, Day 143

Two friends kayaking.

Day one of Ultimate Frisbee was a success. Girls cleaned up at 3 for 3, boys won 3 of 4.

Tomorrow, they will play again. Thankfully, no injuries - just a bit of sunburn and sore muscles.

Ultimate Frisbee, Day 142

Ultimate frisbee is an up and coming sport, the kids tell me. Both of them are on their high school team.




This weekend is State Championships and their team (s) are favored to win. My daughter is on the girls team and my son is on the open team. Please pray for an injury-free weekend for all of the kids. If you look at the first photo, you will see a girl with blond hair (and orange socks) jumping up into the air. I spent Mother's Day last year with her in the emergency room of a hospital when she was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion during a game that was played in the pouring rain.

I don't want repeats of that this year. However, I am unable to attend the games this weekend. My hubby will be doing the honor of being a chaperone...
