This is Shadow and Kricket on our walk to see the Iris. We had fun taking pics of the flowers. Miss Kricket is my BLUE BIRD OF HAPPINESS! She is always so excited about life. Shadow is a sweet loving puppy. Both my Girls are a true joy in my life.

This BEAUTIFUL male Oriole was eating Cottoneaster berries at Shawnee County Lake. What vibrant color!

Some critters like living in a busy location...

How beautiful are these?!!

These are my Girls: Kricket and Shadow.

They don't understand why they are up on the balcony and I am down in the courtyard without them?

I have two, count them, TWO beautiful tea towels on my refer. I love them both. Thank you Sis and Cherilyn!

This little ladybug egg timer came to me via Zach. Thank you, Son. I LOVE IT!!!
