What the heck?

Last week while working in the garden, planting away, I heard a loud SWISH from the sky, and then a large SPLASH in the pool. I had my back to the pool, so when I spun around, ducking as I did. I saw this:

And heard:

"Quack, quack, quack."

As if to tell me that was a rough landing.
They made one heck of a big splash.

They hopped out, and took a stroll about the
yard. Checked things out, quacking all the
way around. Here and there. Hopped back in.

Swam back out to the area of the yard that
I was in. Quacked a little, and as quickly
as they landed in the pool, they took off
from the water and were gone. They stopped
by Country Wings in Phoenix to cool 

off before they continued on their
journey home for the summer. I am still
laughing as I look at the photos. What a
start they gave me. 

 

Hope you are having a great week. Thank you
as always, for stopping by my little piece
of heaven here in the desert, that I so love
to call home.

 

Country Wings Is Back...

 

Hi Sweet Friends. Oh how I have missed you all.  I lost my mojo for awhile. I think she has came back to me. So much has happened since my last write.

The grands have grown as you can see. They now range in age from 2-17. (3 in High School, 2 in Junior High, 2 in grade school, and 1 in pre-school.) So much fun. This was our Easter photo. Absolutely priceless.

Elyse our oldest is leaving for Washington, D.C. in a couple of weeks. She is going to be doing an internship. We are SO proud of her. She was chosen out of so, so many applications. While we will miss her horribly, GO Elyse, we are so proud of you. This is Elyse, she's our oldest grandchild, along with James our youngest.

The trees have came alive in our yard, and I just had to share. I was so tickled when the face arrived. I was trying to match the bark on our tree. I did a pretty good job. The eyes and teeth glow in the dark. The jacaranda has never looked so great.

 

Gardens are smiling with happiness. Laughter all around.

 

Color popping up everywhere, and a little magic hidden in.

 

 

 

 

 

I took a little time out to put in the gardens. They needed some help after the one really hard freeze. Yes in the desert. Lost a lot of plants. The spaces have already tripled since the pictures were taken. Just wanted to share Country Wings in Phoenix.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed stepping out with me today.

As always, thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert, that I so love to call home. Country hugs and SO, SO much love,

 

 



Our Beautiful Girl Crossed Over The Rainbow Bridge Tonight...

It is with heavy hearts,

We had to say good-bye this evening.

To our beautiful rescued Rottie.
She served us well for 12 years.

 

Rasha, I will hear your bark,

See your shade tree,

Miss hearing your squeaky toys,

But most of all:

Miss you our Dear Girl.

 

I know your are running free tonight.
We know that Laddie, Ein Bischen,
Yoda, Striper and Angel,

Were there to greet you.

All our Love,
Mom and Dad
