boy, does time fly...

I have no idea where this week has gone, but gone it has...
hung the netting up here after we got it washed...

makes the best little cat bed...

been feeding the birds...
have to fill up every day now...

you would think they would have bigger bellies...

maybe I should eat birdseed...

got a new baby coming on our street...
mommy is in the hospital right now working on that...
they broke her water right after lunch and are inducing labor...

been working and cleaning and napping here...

and there has been a little excitement on the street...

one of our neighbor's had a fire early Monday morning...

and at 5:15am, we were all down there watching...
they have been working on clean up ever since...

we just got back from our walk and took them a couple bottles of bleach...
we had 4 of them...

the smoke alarms worked and they all got out...
they have small children...

so we were all pretty worried until we found out they were ok...

and our fire department did an amazing job...
they had the fire out in 10 minutes...
saved the house...

here is a photo of the front window...
you can see all the way through the back window into the back yard...

and we have had sunny skies...

 but the last 2 days have been humid and muggy and cloudy...
we need rain, but figured out on our walk last night why we weren't getting any...
the neighbor's have a hole in the roof from the fire that they have been working on...
I am sure they have been praying for no rain...

and another neighbor got a new toy...
he's going to restore it...
the inside is in very good condition...

just muggy...

we have only gotten 4 tomatoes that were turning red so far...

thankfully, another neighbor has been keeping us in tomatoes until ours starts coming on...
and are they good...

the king of the cardinals wasn't too happy with us yesterday...

he wanted to take a bath and we were picking green beans...
he told us off...

still have some blooming going on...

and the butterflies are everywhere...

so that's about it from here...
got to do our yearly blood tests in the morning...
so no food after midnight...

have a good weekend and I will post more later...
