June 12 of 12 2009

Thanks for visiting with us today. My bride is headed out of town for a visit in Georgia, so I'm left to my own devices. Annie, the curious cat, will do what she can to keep the puppies and I under control. She can be so bossy. Later, this evening, my grandson Michael will come visit for a while.

9:35 a.m. Getting a late start taking pictures.

9:40 a.m. Caught Annie, the curious cat, getting a bite.9:42 a.m. Momma bird about to launch from her house to get some baby food.
9:50 a.m. I thought I'd do something a wee bit different and show the evolution of a Magnolia Flower. This is a bud having just shed its outer shell.
9:50 a.m. This bud is just now opening. You can see the definition of the petals. 9:51 a.m. The traditional Magnolia blossom. They smell so pretty.
9:52 a.m. This blossom has "bloomed" itself out.
10:01 a.m. I just noticed that the deer got into the garden and "pruned" one of our hydrangeas. I need to spray the beds again.
5:20 p.m. Michael coming to visit.
7:45 p.m. I came up to the den and little Pepper looked so pitiful. Annie, the curious and very bossy cat, had stretched out in the recliner that Pepper normally sleeps in.
7:45 p.m. Pepper has determined that she will not be denied and is pondering how to co-exist.
7:46 p.m. Discretion being the better part of valor, Pepper decided not to disturb Annie and curled up in a tight ball in the corner.

Once again, thanks for visiting us here in Ninety Six. Now I invite you to go to Chad's site and visit some of the other 12 of 12 sites. See you next month.
