At first, I got scared of the package, because crazy Mommy opened it a little!



But I really love the present!

Thank you so much!

An adventure with Delmar

Refusin' my wheelbarrow...I'll get you!

Ground tomato tastes yucky

Nope. I will not eat it

Bucket boy (or is it trashcat?)
(FYI--the can is labeled 'yard waste')

Dino-mite!

And these are for Tammy, even though it's not really a woodshed:


"I saw something nasty in the woodshed!"






Let's hope he was not traumatized for life. Since he sat at the door asking to go out some more for a long time afterward, I think not.

August 28

Today we collected and sorted the black walnuts in the yard for the squirrels. They proceeded to knock them off the bench and do absolutely nothing with them.

Flint's reaction to a trip outside*



Octie Lu on her turn
(FYI--Octavia is her full name)





And finally, Clarence--not done until later in the day.
He didn't really listen to me. Also, the end startled Mama so much she abruptly stopped videoing.

And a bonus

* a safety note*
Our cats have always been kept strictly indoors, but we thought we would share a few supervised minutes of the super-nice day with them in the completely fenced in yard---However, they all immediately ran back to the door to go back inside.

Please keep your cats indoors!

While we were at the ranch in Michigan we went on lots of hayrides for campfires

We had lots of discussions....


on things like Lauren's and Teddy's Jewish names

and then also on nothing at all...

July 27

Mom took us to a horse ranch resort in Michigan...we had lots of fun.
Thanks again Mom!

Swimming with Mom...I am a little fish!



...did I mention that I broke the camera function on Mama's camera so she can only take videos and strange pictures now?....so expect lots and lots of videos.

Also, it means that the updates will be kinda slow since videos take a little while to get up there.

This is what I did when Regina asked me what color my eyes are

Yay!!! Computer is fixed!!!

Well it turns out that the 'blue screen of death' really meant death for Mama's computer this time. The hard drive had completely died, so Da had to order a new one and rebuild the whole thing from scratch using backups....thank goodness for backups!

It took a long time, but we are back up again. Thank you Da!!!

Also, check out Clarence's web debut.

Update--computer is broken

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't been slacking, but that Mama's computer (on which I do my blog) has been doing the whole 'blue screen of death' thing....so Da has been busy fixing it for the past week or so. Since that is the computer all the pictures are on, I haven't been able to keep up with my blogs. But I wanted to let everyone know that I am still taking my pictures and recording my observations, and I will be updating as soon as Da can get the computer whipped back into shape!

Smiles!
