Sun for the Sunflowers

Another hard picture to choose. I love sunflowers. One time when I was little my mom had a garden full of enormous sunflowers. It was seriously like a jungle of them. Every since I have always held them in a special place.

Shinny

Shinny buttons caught my eye. Kate took our jar of buttons and poured them out all over the table, so she could find a couple to use for her engagement party. Kate and I had fun taking pictures of them! I think the hardest part of this project is actually choosing the picture to post. There were so many button pictures that i had to narrow down, and there are so many things to consider in choosing the right one too. Well anyways I hope you enjoy the shininess like I did!

Rusty

Here is Rusty. My favorite cat at Save a Pet. He has such an angry face on but he loves to be pet. I would adopt him if I could.

Update: Harry/Macadamia was adopted!

Heat wave

Even Leo had to find another way to cool off. The heat was killer, so Leo took to airing out his tummy to cool off.

Peek A Boo

Shamus enjoyed the thunderstorm outside. She was fascinated maybe with the breeze or the rain. Either way she sat in the window sill for a while and finally popped her head out.

Pencil Pushing

I was called into work on Thursday, just so I could stuff, label and stamp over 1000 envlopes. It was the most boring, mindless, repetitive task ever. I know that I would never want a job as a pencil pusher. I can't do paperwork all day. Anyways took almost 8 hours to do it but I got it done!

Macadamia/ Harry

Not sure which name is really his, either Macadamia or Harry. I call him Harry but he is a 10 month old black and white cat. He is super cute but a little crazy. You would be too if you had to live in a cage all day. I'm trying to work with him to make him more approachable and friendly. He already is friendly but gets frightened easily. There are so many cute cats at Save a Pet.

Crazy

Lucas is a crazy cat and decieded that it would be fun to jump up to the top shelf of our coat closet! He's got super blue eyes in this picture though.

Fun Day

Today Matt, Joshua, Erin, Indy and I went up to the school yard and played frisbee and swung on the swings! It was great fun! Of course the sun came out as soon as we got there and it was hot! But never the less we still played in the sun. Afterwards Matt and I made dinner. Cooked bugers, potatoes and made some salad. And after dinner since it was still nice out Matt and I went back up to the schoolyard and played frisbee again with Indy. It was a great day, at the end our feet were black with dirt!

Good Luck Lady Bug

I found this ladybug and I was going to put it outside when it jumped onto my hand and wouldn't leave. I seriously walked around the house with this ladybug on me. I was even able to grab my camera and take this shot. I finally sat outside to let it go but it wouldn't. It refused the go onto any of the plants around me. Finally I was albe to get it off. I felt specail that it stayed for so long though. :)

Amazing Prymind of Goodness!

Erin and I created this amazing Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for her friend Traci! This has 48 Reese's in and was super tall. We stood the ones up on top to have a grander effect on it all.

Lucus the Ham!

The Fuzz being cute and friendly!

Mantis Attack!

Hanging with Lexi by the side of her pool when all of a sudden we spot this praying Mantis! It was really hard to capture, kept jumping all over.

Swimming Lesson

Today Shamus wanted to learn how to swim! haaha no really me and Erin were defrosting some cheese in the sink and I thought that it might be fun for shamus to get wet. At first she didn't like it but I think she got used to it!

Sailboats Galore

Got off of work an hour early and deiceded that it was too nice of a day to go straight home. So I made a pit stop at Cedar beach but it was so crowded that I didn't stay for long. Just long enough to capture these lovely sailbaots.

A lovely drive through the campus before I left. Everyone came to the train station to see me off. There was Debbie, Kv, Lizzy and Pat! I'm so happy that I got to see everyone, wish my time there wasn't so short!

Upside down, Round the tunnel.

Debbie and I went to our favorite park, the Covered Bridge Park! It has all the old school playground euipment, basically the best playground ever! We played on the see-saw, but unfourtunly I forgot that see-saw always turns violent. It was that much fun for me after a while. lol

Cake in the Park!

After staying over Kv's house the night before, Arianna, KV and I made amazing breakfast! We also got Ar a birthday cake and ice cream because her birthday was the day before. We deiceded to eat it at a park considering the day was so nice out. Aterwards we hung out at Bill's house for a while and did other random things as usual

Bugspray can be scary!

Tuesday night we had a bonfire at Kv's house and after a afternoon of jumping on the trampoline, it was time to lather up with some bugspray. But the can that KV had was many years old, it was quite questionable and stung when it made contact with skin. Haha hence my face and Lizzy's aprehension in spraying it on me!

Peach Thinning

This is what DelVal life is like, yes that is a tractor that Taryn is standing on with a baseball bat! Haha we went peach thinning with Debbie for work today. Peach thinning is when you go up to the peach trees and look for clusters of peaches and knock some down. The point is to break apart the clusters so the remaining peaches can grow big and healthy. It was so much fun to take baseball bats to the trees. haha Although standing under the tree when everyone is hitting the peaches off, is not so much fun.

Shamus's new cage!

Today after work I spent over and hour working on a new design for Shamus. I created different levels for her, added a wood log so the she can chew on it, also added a brick to hopefully help her nails stay short. Also just for her to have more to do in the cage. I am going away for 5 days so she wont be able to come out. I want her to be able to keep herself busy inside the cage. On the top shelf where she is sitting there is a hole to get down and for an hour or so she sat there sleeping with her leaning over the side. Silly Rat!

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their freedoms today and remember those who fought for us to get them!

Robert Moses

Kate, Vinny, Erin and I went to Robert Moses! This beach is definalty a winner, it has really nice waves like the ones I remember when I was a kid. We went for a walk down to the lighthouse and about halfway down Vinny looks around and says " Um guys is this a nude beach?" Somehow the regular beach turned into a nude beach without any warning! haha We abrutly turned around and started walking back! This was taken right as we were packing up to leave. I just thought it was funny. haha
