A little hard to see since they blend in with the rocks....

We had bird visitors at our little pond this morning.

Brad and I watched as the birds figured out that going to the waterfall was the best way to enjoy the water...until...one little bird decided to jump in! Needless to say, he wasn't a swimmer. I'd be scooping a dead bird out of the pond if we wouldn't have been watching. I had to put my camera down quickly (and carefully!) and get him out of the water. He thanked me in his own birdy way and once he was dry he left. I'm going to have to put something in the pond so that if any critter would fall in again, they'll have a way to get out.

I didn't take any pics today.

I'm really getting back into scrapping...so here's another layout.

I want to do another layout featuring Dad's car....

You should see what's under the hood! Wow!! Shiny!! lol

Finally making some progress!

Flower beds just need some mulch and decoration

and I want to fill in at the pond and plant some grass.

My participation in yesterday's speed scrap earned me part 1 of this kit.

Not sure why I feel the need to name every animal I see?

This is "Chippy".

He stuffed his cheeks and is heading home

(under the rock...not to be mistaken for the same rock

that I've been living under for so long. LOL)

Happy Birthday in Heaven Corey Meinhart!!

Fun with Pappy...

Thank you, Pappy! (Dad) :)
