Happy ‘Gotcha’ Day and Birthday to our sweet Cosmo kitty who wandered into our yard 10 years ago. I think someone dropped him off all those years ago. We think he’s about 12 though.
I spent a little time outside again yesterday. It wasn’t as breezy and the mosquitoes were testing me as was a chatty Cat bird. The bird was talking to his friend in a nearby tree. The entire time I was lounging about. I did a little work-moved some plants around pulled some weeds near the pond (and waving to the three current residences -two little and one medium size). I got a book in the mail about Christian Sanderson, the man whose museum we had visited on Saturday. It’s a smallish book, but it was just published this year. All the photos looked exactly like the layout of the rooms as they are now. And I saw where Mr. Sanderson passed away on my 7th birthday in 1966.
I also took a few photos:
Happy with these hanging baskets-Chenille and Nasturtiums. There was something else in there with the Nasturtiums, but they over took it.
The Lantana is a hardy plant. Love the Dr. Seuss type balls of flowers:
The petunias are pretty too with their stripes.
And I have a serious gnome invasion-they are coming out of everywhere!
I took these with my camera phone. I think it’s a nice one.
Hope to take my mom out to a hometown event they have during the summer called ‘Dining under the stars’. Brian has his orientation at the store tomorrow-you all know what that is-videos!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by! Oh, I wouldn’t laugh at your Dumpster Diving for Hobbes. I think half our house if furnished that way! People in the Depression era would applaud our efforts I might add! Thanks for keeping in touch. I’ve barely had time to blog, let alone leave feedback for others. I think once school starts again, I’ll be back in the swing.
Ha ha! When you mentioned Hobbes, I had to share that experience. : ) Hope you can get online more soon. I remember those school days as being hectic, but they do fly by!
