Just Chillin'

This guy is hanging around my front yard a lot & spends a lot of time sitting on my car tire. I guess I'll have to disturb him when I want to go out

Baby groundhog

We have a flat tire on the lawn mower so we are using this guy - he has a big job ahead of him

The thief

At camp we watched him climb up & down the metal post - it is not a smooth metal so I guess he can get a grip on it

The thief has escaped

He scampered down the post

Dairy farmer making bales of hay

This is the field in front of our houses. Looks like hot dusty work.

Monsters in the field

Now we have many bales like these in the field (Max counted 36)

Arizona Sun

These are the perennials I planted this year. I like them enough I think I'll plant some more - if not this year then next year for sure. They are just getting established & should fill out a lot more.

Hairy Woodpecker

This guy was at my bird feeder

Dave feeding Bob

Dave has made friends with Bob - but of course he had to bribe him with peanuts. I don't know which of these guys is cuter.

Female Mallard

This duck was just off the beach at camp

Mark pumping up the air mattress

At camp on Thursday night Ryan, Kevin & Mark wanted to sleep in the tent on the deck. We tried to tell them it would get cold. It got down to 10C. Brrrrrrr
