At Play!

Some good, cool friends of ours have some very cool kids. They joined Michele and me for an ad hoc hooping and poi session. 

I was able to take some shots while others played. Because of Michele's limited health, she couldn't do as much as she would have liked but learned A LOT from the others. 

As I hope you can see, it was very FUN!

Cat Nap Wednesday

A little distracted from sleep...

Not a spirited, holiday July 4th post, but then again for Katie,
isn't every day a holiday? ;->

Getting quieter . . .

Quiet enough.

Macro Monday

Any idea what this could be?

Does this help?

It's a puffball about the size of a half dollar coin!

Chicks!

No, not "hot women" (like my wife!), but little chickens! Good friends of ours raise them as pets and invited us over shortly after receiving a "shipment." That's right they really get shipped overnight in a special carrier with special handling via UPS and the USPS. 

I still chuckle at this idea. Would I go to the post office and ship a package asking for "chicken handling" and at the "chicken rate"? Is this how KFC gets their chicken? It might taste like it. Sorry, if you frequent this blog you likely guess I'm a foodie snob.

Seriously, they have to be shipped immediately after hatching because the yolk provides all their nourishment for the first 48 hours or so. Crudely, the chicken grows from the white of the egg and then around the yolk. 

If you saw our recent post on the egg toss I guess this post might then be . . . odd. After an egg toss, is the next activity a . . . chicken toss? Tee-hee. 

Regardless, they are very cute.

Cat Nap Wednesday

Doing a little a box exploring.

Now getting a little tired.

Now asleep.

Any idea what this is?

Surely, this next shot helps?

One HUGE strawberry!

Strawberries are in season in our area and ARE wonderful!

Car Show

Another post on the car show in Northport. This was from the post on Memorial Day. Very fun!
