Bats, Green Apples and the Teeter Totter Saga
Those of you who stop here regularly know that I walk in the morning.
Early,
Very early.
Normally we leave a 5:30 AM.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances,
which could be only explained in an anonymous blog,
we had to leave earlier.
My friend Dawn and I go together,
We talk,
and laugh,
and although I have not lost any weight,
we justify this social time as exercise.
Due to the earlier departure and the shortening of the days,
Yesterday we encountered BATS again.
You see, we dealt with them earlier in the spring,
but with the longer days,
it was light and we haven't seen them for a few months.
Now, this is not a city walk.
This is a great nature walk.
We see
rabbits,
chipmunks,
squirrels,
groundhogs,
an occasional raccoon
cows,
goats, geese, ducks and a turkey,
(those are all in a fence together)
and
lots of deer.
We are even prepared to see a bear some morning.
Haven't seen one yet, but we are prepared.
But is was the green apple that did us in.
Early in the walk yesterday,
we were jumpy.
Swooping bats,
I am telling Dawn about having mice in my house right now.
MICE!
In July!
I am blaming on JWS for mowing everything in sight.
He has disrupted their habitats.
We were analyzing this phenomenom when Dawn SCREAMED!
LOUD!
Wake up everyone within a half mile radius SCREAM!
A
green apple
rolled
across
the
road.
The power of suggestion.
We laughed.
Bent over, ab hurting, laughing.
What a great way to start the day!
Yard sale finds this week.
Love this basket!
It was 25 cents.
My list for today includes decorating with this somewhere.
T-shirt yarn rug that I am making for The Neighbors.
Tuesday night painting at the fair.
This had been painted quite a few years ago
and
was needing refreshed.
Finished it up Tuesday night by my car headlights.
Better add varnishing it to my list for today.
And the
Saga of the Teeter Totter.
Gracelyn likes the teeter totter.
(Happy smiling blonde on the left)
Kendall does not.
(unhappy little girl on the right)
Kendall preparing for her dismount despite the movement of the teeter totter.
Now this little girl is not happy.
And Kendall is off to slide.
Gracelyn wants Garren to teeter-totter with her.
But even Garren didn't want to oblige.
Finally,
A truce was made.
Sandbox!
If only all of life's problems were solved so easily.
And this little boy..
is obviously not going to be the
delicate flower
that his sister is.
He is growing so fast!
And a rare pic of me!

What a hysterical story!! Sounds like something that would set me off too. Giggling all the way.
You are way to young to have grandkids...I had to do a double take and reread that you are a grandma. You are a young beautiful grandma!!
Enjoy your day and grand kids,
Barb
