Nolan and His Pals

Earlier today Thunder (who moved away with our neighbors daughter when she graduated from school) was over to visit Lightening so all three of the boys got to play together. They wore each other out running up and down the fence line. More about Thunder and Lightening here.

Kayaking Adventure

A great day at Hoover in the drizzle teaching our nephew to kayak.  

Tiger Swallowtail

So about an hour after I hung a basket full of verbena (Lantana sp.) where the ugly bush once stood a Tiger Swallowtail came a callin'.

Independence Day

Perfect weather, family & friends and a fun parade in Uptown...The boys gave Nolan a run for the money. LOL He was a pooped pup. Fireworks did not bother him at all. Great day!
