A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Field

Yard Work

Bob finally got a few loads of wood chips to put in the flower beds.

Before he spread the chips, I scooped up the Hens & Chicks that have rooted in the soil.

I hope they make it through the winter....I have a PLAN!

Looking good....



Birds...Birds...and More Birds

Early morning with the BIRDS!

In this video you won't see the birds...

but turn up the volume and you will hear

the Sand Hill Cranes flying over the fields.

When the weather was so hot,

the Hummingbirds kind of disappeared.

We would see only 2 or 3 at a time,

but with the recent cooler weather,

they are ALL back...

(Listen real close and you can hear their chatter)

And I can't do a post about birds

without adding our Chickens!

The star of this video is

 the one and only Mr. Rooster -

He has finally found "his voice" :-)

Lexington

Zachary's open house was on Sunday, so we headed across the state on Saturday.

Over to Lexington ---Home Sweet Home.

We arrived in Port Sanilac Saturday evening.

We drove down a side street that we have visited many, many times..

It has beautiful lakeside homes and  beautiful gardens.

(After seeing all the beautiful Annabelle hydrangeas in this yard,

we bought them for our yard in Lexington

and now have several here in Paris.)

It started pouring and soon it was raining AND the sun was shining.

We made a quick stop to get a photo of the rainbow,

and headed  to Lexington.

Drove through town....drove by our house

Nobody there...it sure doesn't look like it did when Bob was there...

We stopped in to see Dennis &  Linda -

SO good to see them again.

With a date to meet for breakfast,

we head off to find a place to stay....

It took awhile, but

FINALLY found a place.

We woke up EARLY Sunday morning

and I headed to the beach to see the sunrise.

And I got there just in time!!!!

So many great memories...

I have taken LOTS and LOTS of pictures just like this...

only different...

Gorgeous, amazing SUNRISES ---

Time to pack up and head to Port Huron for breakfast.

Then to one of my very favorite spots...

THE RIVER...

Then to Barnes & Noble,

where I have spent many enjoyable hours.

THEN we visited the mall

and a lunch at one of my very favorite Chinese restaurants.

Soon it was time to head to Croswell -

for Zachary's open house.

A long day,

we made it home just as the sun was setting...



On a really great weekend.
