when the guys are gone, this chick will play...

been trying to declutter the kitchen area..

so added some things that had been 'out' collecting dust...

and to clear off surfaces...

so all the things I want to keep went in here...

and everything got dusted in here, too...

I added some of the lilacs I collected in the spring to this jar...

and while I was going this...

other things were going on...

Charlie took the shoe off of my doll and when I went to put her in here...

she was footless...

so found that in the living room...

mauled...

so we had a talk about mommy toys and Charlie toys...

he just rolled his eyes...

and this character...

can you see him now?

he was a bad boy, too...

I had looked out earlier and saw the feeder tilted and lid not on right...

and just thought DH had FAILED in the bird feeding this morning before he left for work...

but it wasn't DH...

someone, no names, was stealing bird feed...

this was full, but he kept tipping it and dumping the seed out and then running down and pigged out...

and when I tapped on the window and told him to quit that...

he gave me the tail!

how rude!

;0)

I am not having a good day and have terrible tummy problems...

and trouble keeping my blood sugar up...

prayers would be appreciated...

DH has 3 days off...

and Craig got tomorrow off...

cooking out tomorrow...

fireworks here are Saturday...

and a Jonah Fish Fry before...

so guess that's what we are doing...

have a fun and safe fourth...

and remember...

vets with PSD and animals when shooting off fireworks...

they don't think its fun at all...
