another rescue...

the neighbor's took this one in, too...

but I did a mini photo shoot before they got here...

we gave them some fresh green beans to feed them along with the clover they give them and raw carrots...

they should be big enough to let lose again in no time...

baby bunny rescue...

coming back from our walk we noticed that Georgie the cat was playing with something...

so we took it away- unharmed...

but the neighbor boy saw us...

he kills all and any animal he gets his hands on...

so we took baby bunny to our neighbor who saves baby bunnies from this kid...

he had another one he is fostering so now they won't be lonely...

he will get bigger before he is turned lose again...

he will be safe from the cats and that mean boy...

this way, he has a chance...

after lunch today...

I had ice cream...

vanilla ice cream...

with butterscotch topping...

I ate this while I blogged...

had to keep my strength up...

but then I needed a nap...

as I was passing by the kitchen window, I saw Boofy bringing a snake from the field...

she is the smallest of all the cats...

and the most likely to tangle with something...

and walk away the winner...

Craig removing the dead snake...

so I got a shot of this...

and this on my way back into the house...

things really shot up after the last rain...

these big tin cans are working out so well...

I'm doing more of them next year...

More Japanese tv shows from the 70's..

Kimba the White Lion-

Japanese name is Jungle Emperor...

Kimba...

and Astro Boy!...

those were the days...

the kids now think that the Japanese cartoons are a new thing...

again, they are so wrong!...

Sunday drive...

back of Main Street...

soy beans...

notice the corn is already starting to turn on the bottom...

it's early...

we will have an early fall...

country road...

wild flowers...

morning glories...

daisies...

an old apple tree...

cow pasture...

the elevator in the background...

down the tracks...

all the cows were laying down today...

they do that when it's going to rain...

storage shed...

farm implements...

it's all about farming here...

they are gearing up...

they say there will be a bumper crop in the corn this year...

and it is coming early...

about a month early...

we are having August weather now...

the walnuts are done making and the leaves are coming down...

the sedum is blushing...

and the mums are budding...

and maybe we will be able to enjoy more time outside when the air cools down a bit...

have a wonder afternoon...

Sunday morning:

Craig picking green beans...

persimmon tree...

soy bean field to the east of us...

Craig and Doug still picking...

rose of sharon is still blooming with many more to come...

something has been eating the morning glories...

Monday's supper...

the sedum is blushing...a little early...

Steve in the swing...

Doug and Craig in the loungers...

Steve checking the fluids on the truck...

the newly painted items look so good now...

clean and fresh...

they took the heat advisory off today because of the cloud cover...

there was rain headed our way early but it died out before it got here...

we ended up with 3 1/2 inches Friday...

hope your day is cooler...

I watched these back in the 70's...

Johnny Sokko and his flying robot...

the robot...

Ultraman...

they fought bad guys every week to save the day...

do you remember these?...

and then we also watched every Godzilla show...

all Japanese...

and we watched Speed Racer...

now the kids watch Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon...

Japanese artwork is wonderful!...
