Life from where we are

 This Momma duck was trying to get her babies back to the water  They needed to negotiate this set of steps  This little guy was afraid of heights & couldn't figure it out  She was down in the water with the rest of them "yelling" at him to get moving  It took him forever to get down there & he just fell into the water  Maybe he doesn't like to get wet?? Love

 We love going to Saratoga......but not during track season.  It gets way too busy.  We decided to take a walk around a couple weeks ago on a beautiful afternoon.  We wandered into the park to check out the ducks  They were everywhere & had lots of babies  This is one of the smaller ponds so the babies were free to test out their swimming skills Love

 I had 5 yards of mulch delivered on Sunday  That means the next few weeks I will have an aching back  But it will be worth it.........  .....because all my beds will look like this  It is a well known fact that I collect driftwood  This is where it ends up Love

A couple weekends ago Popster had signed up to do a therapy dog assignment at the air national guard family day. They were expecting around 3,000 people......only had 2,000 as the weather was crappy. It had turned cold & rainy & so windy up on the runway.  Most of the events were inside the big hangars This is the transport plane that goes to the arctic We were supposed to just mingle with the people.  Molly walked into this plane like she does it every day! She doesn't look so big anymore does she? I love German Shepherds  He is gorgeous! Love

 This gorgeous butterfly flew into my garden  It's a swallowtail & he was feeding from the weigelia  Usually when I see something like this by the time I run inside to get my camera it's gone  This guy hung around & gave me a chance for lots of shots Love
