Ted on my head while I slept in my bed

I finally slept and this is what my cat does.  Several things here.
I find this hilarious.
I'm sure no one cares.
Or finds it gross.
I'm still wearing my make up from the day before.
This is normal for Ted Wait For It.  He loves to sleep on all of our heads.  This happened to be Sunday Morning and everyone else was awake so he had to find somewhere to sleep.  When I woke up, Troy told me to go look on the camera.  He thinks he's so funny!

Wasted time

 This is what I waste my time on these day. Trumpeter Swans. Big surprise to everyone who knows I love birds right?  What great about it is they are right out in the field behind my house.
 I have my binoculars sitting on my end table.  I find them so fascinating to watch.  The way they communicate with each other.  Every once in a while there will be a fledgelings along with their parents.  They will fly into the field in pairs.  Most of all, I love the noise they make.  It annoys my family.  They are really quite loud.  I have to say I would rather listen to these birds than to a middle school band.

 Beautiful when the fog is hanging low.








I was stunned how large these birds are.  One night I walked out into the field with them.  They didn't let me get to close.  I was hoping they would.  The kids and Troy warned me I would probably be attacked by them. Bird attacks only happen to Troy though.

Flat Mia from New Mexico

Our little friend Mia from New Mexico had a school project that we got to participate in.  The had read the book Flat Stanly.  Then made themselves into Flat self.  They then sent their flat persons to someone to go exploring.

We got to take Flat Mia all over the area where we live.  Show her things about Washington.  







Olivia had so much fun sharing Flat Mia with her class.  Mia and Olivia were such good buds when we lived there.  She misses Mia a lot, so this was fun for her to be part of Mia's life.
It was fun for me too.  I got to do a little scrap booking.  Haven't done that for ages!  Most of all it made me feel a little bit more connected to my friends that I miss so much.

Chasing the sun

Several weeks ago we took advantage of the sun and took a nice long walk along the beach.












I love days like this.  Exploring. Laughing.  Most of all, Sunshine!
