I've got a turtle head pokin' out...

Danny found this guy in our pond last weekend when trying to clean it up. We decided it would probably make the turtle happy to leave it a little green, so we filled it up and left it alone.

I wasn't sure the turtle was still in there, until today when it popped up between rain showers for a bit of fresh air.

Who's the mouser?

Last night I saw a tiny little mouse peering out at me from beside the TV center. We were both surprised!! (S)he immediately made a beeline for underneath the couch, and it wasn't long before several animals were in hot pursuit. This little game of "Cat and Mouse" (pun intended!) went on for several hours, with periodic episodes of high-pitched squeaking (taunting, maybe?) and then the whole herd of animals frantically scurrying across the floor to the newest hiding place. Finally one of the animals nabbed the little guy. (S)he was unceremoniously disposed of in the flower bed. Too bad; (s)he was really cute, but I hope there are no siblings out there.

We have eight animals out there (listed alphabetically): Abby, Annie, Bimbo, Dufus, Emily, Fatty, Panda and Simba. Which one caught the mouse?

Smart boys

Eli Manning got married over the weekend ...
It's good that both he and Peyton had the good sense to marry some good old Tennessee girls ...

Strawberry Jam Forever

From the Roy Culinary Files ...

Last night I replenished my/our stock of Strawberry Freezer Jam ...I made 22 cups, and could have made five or six more had I wanted to go to WalMart for more sugar at about midnight. However, this should do us for a year or two. (More than that and it gets syrupy anyway.)

Oh Boy, Oh Boy
