Weekend Images...

Our soggy front yard

It's rained nearly every day since we got back home. Sometimes, only for a few minutes. Sometimes all day long. The result is a soggy front yard, filled with noisy, croaking frogs at night who rest in the cool water all day.   We cut the grass as soon as the water recedes, because it will certainly rain any second. If we don't, we have thick, knee-deep, mosquito-filled grass to cut. The   jungle takes over. I swear, you can almost hear it grow on a warm, sunny day!

Our visitor

 When we took Tag out to explore the yard today, Handsome spotted this fella in one of our pine trees. He was probably hunting for frogs, geckos or some other water-logged critter. I managed to snap a picture of him, but he flew off crabbing at me for disturbing his hunt. He sat in a tree on the next lot making a racket until we turned and went into the house. We decided to let him get back to his own business.

A basketful of beautiful

I finished winding my tapes onto those gorgeous thread bobbins on Saturday, but they looked so organized and pretty in my big basket. I just had to share a picture with you before I sign off today. I'll be in the studio later to start something new.   First, I have to head to the laundromat. Seems our washer wants a visit from  our repairman...and he won't come until the parts we need arrive...in a week.  Great news is that our extended warranty will even cover the costs for taking our  laundry out to be cleaned. (Sure glad we got that extra coverage!) Cool, huh?   I've got my week organized and if there are no snags. I'm planning to get a lot accomplished. I'll be taking pictures and sharing the process with all of you.   What do you have planned? Are you creating this week, or recharging for later? I'd love to know.
