Flowers, Birds & ATC's from Margaret & Mim

World Class

It sure is.

That's the name of this beauty.

Fair & I let Annie and Anabelle play last night on her front lawn while we enjoyed her Bearded Iris' since they wont be blooming for much longer.

In July she is going to dig them up and thin them out. A big job but has to be done. She will then give some away. I am going to see if I can do an Iris bed somewhere. They are sooo pretty.

She is also going to get rid of Five she likes the least or doesn't perform well and is ordering five new ones to put in their place.

She knows every one of their names too.

BE SURE TO ENLARGE EACH PHOTO

Friday I got two envelopes full of ATC cards.

I love going to the mail box these days.

This one came from Margaret

I LOVE her work on this paper she uses.

She drew a lovely drawing of Cactus in a heart and wrote words in a string like row.

Be sure and enlarge to see the detail well.

Thank you Margaret I love the whole package.

Mim http://ammdh.blogspot.com/ sent me these Two ATCs and a cute card I showed before with Apples on it and this little envelope with Miss Em on it that Miss Em ATC was in.

Love the Lizard she surprise me with too.

Thank you also Mim. I love it all too.

We finally got back to the Duck pond a couple days ago.

The babies are growing up. These two were together but with out and parents. I loved how they were walking and squawking. Today we went early with Fair and did the whole walk and saw them together still. They have paired up already.


The decided it was to much work to walk and squawk and sat right down in the parking lot.

Didn't seem to matter if Annie was with us.

I thought they were adorable.

Something else was out there begging for food when we went.

This is a nutria. I think that is the spelling.

they are blind and have two big yellow buck teeth.

They aren't mean and love bread. He came right up to get some bread this one guy was throwing. He tossed it some and then gently pushed it on its way. He had a little girl with him and was a bit afraid of it. I miss that shot as a Canadian goose was flapping its wings getting in my way to get the shot.

He went on his way after that.

Lucy Goosie with four babies. but later she hooked up with two other geese with six little babies and these came to beg for bread the man with the kid was tossing out to them.

Look at all the babies here.

I am not sure if they knew who their parents were after this.

They learned how to beg very well.
I stuck around watching for a while and then we left.

This I took close up of Fairs Purple Robe Locust tree.

Its flowers are like sweet peas. It is huge in her out back.

Another one of her Rhody's. This is looking at our house from her yard. We can see the other side which is just as pretty. Benefits of her yard is we can enjoy and she can dead head. LOL

This clematis is in Fairs yard too. I have one growing but it is slow to get to flowering.

We spent the weekend working in the yard. We had so much to do once it warmed up and quit pouring. Weeds had taken over. Hedges had gotten out of hand.

So I spent most of our time outside working.

We got an early walk in with Fair and Anabelle at the park and then got busy working in the yard.

But we didn't forget to ENJOY ourselves too.

Hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend
