    If you only knew how my day went yesterday! You would probably laugh, most likely be somehow repulsed at the precise wording I would use to describe my personal Series of Unfortunate Events, and walk away wondering if you should ever come back.

    Let me just sum it up in as few words as possible:

    Being a girl can be a wicked-awful/hilariously funny cruel joke.
    A diaper is a diaper, no matter what form it comes in.
    Gravity hates women; we don’t need to stand on our heads for something to drip upward.
    I’m not sure which is worse, the need for pre-meds or the need for dental work.
    I’m glad my regular physician is old-fashioned.
    I’m glad the pharmacist whispered.
    I’m going to go have some yogurt now.

    Now I spent a little while out in the yard yesterday after I finished painting. We’ve got some really pretty things in our yard that we enjoy being around, and I know it’s probably boring to a lot of people but I’m sharing anyway! Neener-neener!

    I was watching a baby squirrely cautiously finding things to eat around our feeders, and then his big brother (I think?) started romping around the yard with him. I love their duo pic. Then we have a siamese gerber daisy growing, which I think would sell on ebay for millions of dollars because it looks like, uh, man parts. heh. We have roses in full bloom all over the place, and I started experimenting with black & white photographs of them. I wish monitors were scratch & sniff, they smell so purdyful in full color! We have another baby bird learning how to fly, but I’m not sure if he’s a robin or a starling. He looked kinda lost. Just all sorts of backyard eye candies for you today!

    I think I really need to get out more. 😆

    Great pictures! What is the third flower from the bottom? the one with the shoots coming out of the center part??:?::?:

    I saw one of your most FAVE birds today. Mr. Grackle was chasing a squirrel. Caught the squirrel and flipped him about three feet, then continued on the chase. I don’t know how it ended because the person in the car behind me wanted me to get out of her way. 😯 My money was on the bird.:evil:

    That one is called Fanfare, for anyone wondering what it is! (The colorful trumpet-petal looking bunch.)

    I hate those ^&*(% grackles!! SEE, I am NOT a true-blue-through-and-through nature lover. If I only had a pellet gun. Those nasty mean birds!! Grrrrr…..

    I have to say of all of God’s creatures, me hates the grackle most. I understand his purpose and all, but any big black bird that picks off live prey in my backyard is evil!

    I would love to see one of our local red tailed hawks go after one of them. THAT would bring a smile to my face. heh.
