Birthdays today...

today is my mother in laws birthday...

Catherine...

today is also my great grandma's birthday...

Eva...

and today is also my twin uncles birthdays...

Jerry and Jimmy...

every bed has something blooming in it...

Doofus decided to go visiting this afternoon with Craig...

she collects frogs...

and her mother, Evelyn, who fell last winter and broke her hip, is finally home...

and she said she missed Bebe...

he goes over and sees her...

he barks at the door...

and they let him in to play with Chrissy, the dog...

Chris is here...and Boofy likes him...

iris and columbine...

and did you know we have dinosaurs in Oakland?...here's proof...

they are hard to photograph...

tree...

Chris and Mr. Wiggles getting some sun...

Chris was complaining that he would melt...

I don't think so...

a peony almost open...

the waiting...

and a very busy ant...as long as he stays outside...

I think he lost his buddies...

hope you have a buddy to spend the day with...

as for me...

its now nap time...

the guys are watching a movie...

that should keep them busy for a while...

I'm so happy...

but what did I do?...

what could this be?...

have you guessed yet?...

 

this is the finished project...

a funky sun dial...

this is how it began...

it was Terri's...

who had a yard sale and sold it to Rebecca...

who sent me a photo of her loot...

and I said I want that...

and Eric delivered it...

and then I found out the clock didn't work...

and its welded in the back so I couldn't change the clock and fix it...

so...then I thought sun dial...

its a clock...an old clock...but still a clock...

and I had this stepping stone in the flower bed that had cracked...

so...long story short...this is what I did...

we had just got the table cleaned off and it inspired me to make another mess...

I have to go back and clean again...

have you made a mess today?...

try it...

its fun...

and so it went before lunch today...

and before the mower guy showed up...

cleaning time...

more later...
