Sum...Sum...Summer Time!!!

 

It's summertime in the country. Here in the Mid-west we had a blazing week of heat earlier in the month, but since then it hasn't been so bad. I could live with the 70's and 80's--with no humidity. It would be fine with me if it could stay like that, say, until the end of September-- than get chilly. Okay, maybe I ask for a lot...

In the meantime I'm bringing you some more pictures for "Take Me Home Tuesday".

 



The view directly across from the house.



Is it just me, or doesn't that look kind of artistic?





My daughter mowing the yard this past weekend. She enjoyed herself.



Ready to plant some more lavender.















Home Sweet Home...

Monday Night At Home

 

Take me home country roads...leads straight to my house on a Monday evening.

 



Hey Bertha, she's taking pictures again. Just look up and smile.



Fine, Gertie. Doesn't she know I don't like my dinner interrupted?



She adores us...she calls us her little fluff balls. Isn't she sweet?



We're so adorable...we could take this trio on the road. Do either of you sing soprano?



Ace is trying out for the roll of big, bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. "Is that you Grandma? What big teeth you have!"



Salem followed me into the driveway. I was trying to get her to look at the camera.



Then I got this!  Okay, Salem a little to close and personal. Cats are scary this close up.



I should seriously make an 8x10 of this and frame it.



The farmer probably thought I was nuts, taking pictures of him working.





Home Sweet Home



One of my favorite spots...which is now sporting some new giraffe print pillows.

Who says one can't live in the country AND be fashionable?

Animal House

Pets make me smile. They are so goofy, I can't help but love 'em.



Ace and Junior--The Greeters. This is what I see when I look out the van window. "We are so glad you are home! Pet us."

Please ignore anything you might see under my daughter's bed. Nikki is guarding the dust bunnies. Nikki is my stalker kitty. She was taking a break from her stalking duties, under my daughter's bed. She is a brave cat.

 

[caption id="attachment_4479" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Joe, the 'fraidy cat"][/caption]

Joe is very sweet, but very skittish. He doesn't want any funny business going on. He's 13 so he's allowed to lay under the bed if he so chooses. When I'm old, if I choose to lay under my bed, then let me. Just sayin'.

 

[caption id="attachment_4480" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Shamus, the kitty"][/caption]

Shamus is the youngest of the "crew". He is either fearless or has no sense, we're still not sure. Please ignore Junior sniffing Shamus' backside. Animals do not understand social etiquette....especially while getting their pictures taken. Sigh.

 

[caption id="attachment_4481" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Shamus and Salem-- Outdoor porch guards"][/caption]

Salem is the queen. She is beautiful. She puts up with nothing. Don't mess with her. She has claws and is not afraid to use them.

 

[caption id="attachment_4484" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Lonnie, Terrier Extraordinaire"][/caption]

Lonnie is the newest member of the family. My son got him from the local humane society. He is the sweetest guy, I just love him...even though I've nicknamed him "The Furinator."

 

[caption id="attachment_4482" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Jazz"][/caption]

This is a picture I took of Jazz during our last snow. I took the picture through the living room window...where it was warm.

 

[caption id="attachment_4483" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Llama Love"][/caption]

These are not my llamas, but I love them anyway. The neighbor across the road owns the llamas. I just get to watch them. I can't wait for all the babies that will appear this Spring!
