Remember my pansies??

Remember the picture of the pansies I took. Well the deer ate them down to nothing!! Anyone for a deer steak?

A new addition to our Meeting!

Little Claire, Russ and Alesha Earnests new baby. She is precious.

Joke's on me!

Ha Ha, I called the Hollyhocks, Hollylocks. I honestly could not remember the correct name. I knew that did not sound right, but I could not think of anything else so that is what I wrote. Maybe I was getting it mixed up with Goldilocks. I walked and did water aerobics today. I am very tired. Plus grocery shopping....so bed will feel good when I hit it. Unfortunately I still have to cook dinner.

My flower gardens

Chives blooming. For some reason most of my flowers are purple! I think I will have other colors later.

Lupine.

Irises and hollylocks
More hollylocks

My half wine barrel full of impatients.

Pansies on my porch.

Come take a walk with me

These are some views I enjoy on my morning walks. I walked 70 minutes this morning.
The Klamath River

My naughty dog after she rolled in a dead skunk! Luckily it was pretty dried out so it was not hugely stinky.
Wildlife tree, there is a nest of starlings in here, I could hear them. That is the mama or daddy not sure which.

Month of May almost Gone!

These deer were enjoying the soft thick grass on the last warm day we had! IT is now only 50* again! I was enjoying the sun so much. I mean the warmth, we still have the sun.

Well it is spring convention time. Dad and my sis left today to go to Mt. Ranch 2. Next week Mike and I hope to go to Walla Walla convention. Hard to believe it is that time of year again. Soon the summer will be gone and we will be going to Fall conventions. Seems strange that we go to two now. When I was growing up we only went to one a year. It is nice to start the summer and end the summer with one though.

Dad is doing better. He still gets very lonely and has some "teary" days, but they aren't quite as over whelming for him as they were. I seem to cry each day at some time or another. Just takes one memory to set me off. I have always dreaded losing my parents and it is as dreadful as I imagined, but also getting easier for me as the days go by.

Our "young men" are all busy, doing well or seem to be anyway. Clint is hoping to head for San Luis Obispo in August. He will start school there. He hopes to get a degree in Construction Management. Then his income should be more steady and sure, than trying to be on his own. All for now.
