frik and frak
they scurry about ~ ~ ~ running this way and that ~ ~ ~ up one limb ~ ~ down another ~ ~ jumping from one tree to the next... they jostle, they squib and suddenly pause for a wink, then back at it again.... and again.... and again....
**We have a pair of these little guys (could be girls, or one of each)…..always together and always enjoying our trees and roof and deck…. I tried to get a photo of both but they are too, too quick. We have named them Frik and Frak. The one in the photo is Frak – I think… or could be Frik………
a feathered symphony

cheeps, tweets
squawks and caws…
…
coos, pecks
honks and quacks…
…
quite an ensemble of musicians
to awaken the senses ~
performing a melange of melodies
to accompany life’s many dances….

the roadside diner
*
right now it lies barren,
not much to attract the eyes
but
to a goose or a Sand Hill crane,
it is a buffet of delectable delights….
*
flocks of families and friends all come to gather
sharing stories and gossip alike ~
such as
“did you hear the scandalous tale about so-and-so and so-and-so?”
or
“anything exciting happen during your long, return flight?”
*
~ however ~
in only a few weeks,
this field will evolve
into something a bit different
yet
not quite new …
still a tasty place to grab a quick bite
but
with an eclectic decor
and
a whole lots more to chew!!!

open 24 hours – all you can eat buffet…….

Weekly Pet Challenge – Post Walkee Pee
~
Post Walkie Bliss ~ ~ ~
Peyton offering up refreshment – from his prized water bottle.
a quickie note: If you look really close, you may see the infamous ‘lone white whisker.”
~
“This is the life…..”
a quickie note: The water bottle above was mine then became Peyton’s. It was ‘the water bottle’ used when he hit his grand slam in baseball – many, many years ago, and present through countless soccer games, baseball games, running meets (my Ironman) – thus, becoming ‘the’ prized water bottle.
~
“Is this heaven because I think this is heaven…”
a quickie note: She is so, so, so happy right now.
~
One last quickie note: When we returned home, I told Peyton I would run his water bottle through the dishwasher – his response – “It’s okay, Sydnee is family.” Mom’s response – “Yes, this is true, she is your sister.”

Weekly Pet Challenge – yes, at it again….

Incident report: October 17, 2014, approximately 2:30pm
Evidence:
downstairs bathroom: one possibly two torn tissues
*
“Excuse me Miss – what did you do in the powder room?” “Please look at Mommy….”
*
“Why are you smiling…have you nothing to say for yourself?”
*
What you do not see is big Pee (Sydnee’s brother Peyton) saying…”Ahhhh, she is just a little puppy. Sydnee Pee is just trying to speak her mind….”
Mommy has one thing to say – “Really?”

TIME TO MAKE THE COOKIES
Peyton (aka as Big Pee) in the kitchen.
~
dough rolled and ready to cut into shapes
~
cookies being placed on baking sheets
~
ready to rock and roll….i mean ready to rock and bake….
~
Yes, I know – you are wondering where is the ‘pet’ – this is a pet challenge after all, right? Normally Pee is overseeing her brother in the kitchen, but this time she was lying in the sun on the deck. I did try to get a picture of her eating a cookie – nope – she would not allow it. So, I am resorting to another photo of Pee sleeping with me, since this is where she has been sleeping when big Pee has not been home…
~
Yes, mom is in the photo….
