The Holiday Weekend

Here's Paiton Rayne last night at the Kansas City T Bones game.  See that empty stand behind her? 

An hour later!  

As you see, we had beautiful weather, high 80's and no rain. 

The Falcons Sky Diving Team started the festivities. 

And the fifth diver brought the flag down. 

The Minions came by. 

And mascot Sizzle the Bull tried to intimidate the opposing bench. 

It worked, we won. 

Baseball great Frank White is still our first base coach. 

The fireworks afterwards were gorgeous. 

Looks like a nebula, doesn't it? 

NOT a firework... this is the spectacular red moon in the sky on our way home. 

The girls made it through the day unscathed. 

The dogs hated it, but survived, thank heavens. 

And the garden goes on. 

As does nature all around us. 

We hope you had a great weekend! 

A Baseball Picture and Some Regular Stuff

A year or so ago, Frank White, 8 time Golden Glove winner and 2nd baseman for the KC Royals, was still working for the Royals after his retirement from playing. 

Unfortunately, there was a falling out, but the Royals loss was our gain for the Kansas City T Bones... Frank White came to work for our team as the first base coach. 

I've been trying to get a good picture of him this season, his second, to put on the blog, and last night... yee ha!... I was able. 

Yes, he did see me taking pictures, and I got a big smile for my efforts.  We sit in the next section over from where you see the people sitting here. 

Thanks, Frank. 

Ummmm... we lost. 

Humoungous mushroom in our pasture... there were four of them.  The babies tasted them, but it worried me so we went right back up the pasture after checking them out. 

Here we go up the pasture, leaving the mushrooms alone. 

The petunias on the deck of the henspa are still going strong.  

We have sunny skies today, after four or five days of clouds. 

We have two kinds of basil growing in the trough on our front deck.  Aren't they beautiful in and of themselves? 

Why, yes, that IS a goat on top of the now shuttered little red henhouse, helping himself to some willow leaves. 

And looking through the forest the little henyard is becoming... you can see eggs in the duck nest this morning. 

And here are some of those same eggs this morning, ready to go to the food pantry! 

Have a great Saturday, everyone!
