Have a great weekend!

A Little Altitude Is Good

I can think of few things more exasperating than a massive, well-timed hard drive failure.  It’s been two weeks since I had fried “Apple” for Saturday breakfast.  Things are still not back to normal, but should be very soon.

I wish I could be on the beach with no worries during this forced time-out.  Still, it’s allowing me to organize, plan our summer, and enjoy the little things.  I even rearranged some furniture!  I have one week left, then I’ll have quite a flurry of catch-up — then I’m back in business.  Hopefully, with more frequent posts!

I took this last year.  I’d been keeping my eye out for a fun shot of this beautiful ferris wheel.  There we were, high up in the cable cars, just past sunset…

Haircut

Alan had been ready to give this kid a haircut for a while, but I had a hard time saying goodbye to the original.  You know, that jagged look of newborn hair?  It’s too cute.  You can’t get that back.

I know,  I can’t stop the tide.  Here’s the only way I could keep it …

Update on Those Babies

How long does it take for little Eastern Pheobes to fledge?  I have no idea, but I’d assume a month?  More?  So, imagine my shock when I crept near the nest this morning to check on them (cozied up and way too big for their home) and ALL FIVE flew off in a frenzy around my face!  The last one out was pretty shaky.  I cannot believe I gave them the push out of that nest.  Flanneryis going to be mad. at. me.  Because I didn’t have my camera.

Here they are 2 days ago. Yes, look at them. I shouldn't have been surprised.

Happy Progress

The kids played ball until dark yesterday. Alan and I joined them for an inning or two. Here’s my baby on his way to join the fun, which is a big deal to him. I’m sure he thinks he’s capable enough and why shouldn’t he join? He’s been patiently waiting for his chance to be on the big boy team.  I didn’t get pictures of him running around the bases, underfoot, with a bat AND ball in hand… happy as a clam!

I took this last year.  Progress, indeed!
