Sunny Saturday!
After a nice motorcycle ride around town, we decided our day would be best spent in our backyard, ticking a few projects off our list. Step 1: Blender Drinks! After that, we closed the gate and let the kitties join us outside for the first time! Toki immediately started to explore. Pickles was outside for about 2 minutes, freaked out, ran inside and watched the rest of the afternoon from the safety of the kitchen window.
We inspected the sprouts in our flower bed...
John took some pictures of a motorcycle he is trying to sell and I started an art project...
Toki supervises....
It was super fun to spend the day together in the sun, working and playing in the yard. and now it looks like this, ta da!

Saturday Stroll
We woke up to a lovely Saturday morning and decided to take walk to coffee. It's about a 3 mile stroll through some very lovely neighborhoods and we like to snap pictures, look at houses, and befriend kitties we meet along the way...

Fashion Friday
Oh joy of joys, some sun! Yesterday I came home about an hour early and sat in my back yard in my shorts with a beer. Delight. I don't wear this look very often, but I love long skirts. This particular skirt is a size 16 in kids, so I'm grateful that some person at Goodwill about 4 years ago mistakenly put it in the adult section without checking the tag.
Something cool I've learned is that when you have a skirt, shirt, or dress that you never wear but can't seem to get rid of because you love the fabric, you can simply cut it into a strip and turn it into a scarf. I've done this with a couple items and it turns something that you love but never wear into a much smaller item that you still love and have far more opportunity to wear. This scarf was once a cute little dress that never quite fit right. Transformed into a scarf, it fits perfectly. It also give a chic look to 4 day old sweaty workout hair.
It's undoubtedly my mother in me, but for most of the summer, my wrist will look just like this. The turquoise bracelet is a hand-me-down from her and the silver bracelet is my all time favorite from our first trip to Mexico. I wear it so often that I think next year I will have to get another one to replace it; I'm actually wearing it out. and those are my Honeymoon rings, from 2 different Mexico trips.
As much work as it takes to keep this overgrown backyard from completely enveloping our house, I have to admit it really is pretty.

Chickens.
I was walking down the sidewalk coming home from work the other night and a big fluffy chicken came trotting across the road towards me.. Of course I stopped to make friends...
OMG, I could just scoop you up. We go back and forth about having some chickens of our own. They are such a delight.
True Story: Growing up, I had a chicken that looked just like this. Her name was Redneck.
