Random Thoughts And Images

This post is a bit of a hodgepodge. Our spring faculty assembly starts in a few days and I thought a blog post might take my mind off the events to come. Obviously not too well because here I am blogging about something I'd like to forget for 10 seconds. Anyhoo, I've started a new young adult series by Nancy Springer. It's called the Enola Holmes Mysteries and the main character is the fourteen-year-old younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. I find it cute and intriguing. We do not own the kinds of adult books I like to read (other than the classics) so I shall continue with the young adult literature for now. On with the images. Most of these were taken a few weeks ago. This first set involves the always entertaining Sandi.


First you see a couple of ducks casually swimming in the (nasty colored) lake. That white box thingy is a target for a cross-bow.

Now you see the ducks waddling up the steps...

They have made it safely to shore in search of corn kernels (yes there are corn kernels in the yard).
Here comes Sandi (bottom left corner), Queen of the Yard and thus proper owner of aforementioned corn kernels.

And the ducks are back to the lake. Now what I won't be showing you is Sandi walking down the steps into the lake devouring the presumptuous ducks. Just kidding.

I visited a local herb farm a few weeks ago and purchased a couple herbs to pot and keep on my back porch. Here are some pictures from that trip.

We were admiring a cement fish pond when my friend asked if anyone wanted to see a snake. It was a very tiny snake and it made a great nature photo-op nestled on the colorful berries.

I took this picture just before we left.

More dog pictures you say? Well, you are in luck. A week or so ago a stray dog began hanging around the library where I work. It doesn't want to be touched or even approached but I did sneak a picture in the other day.

Finally, I give you...Yogi. Yogi is a miniature, cute as a button, full of spit fire chihuahua (thank goodness for spell check). He's the new puppy of a friend of a friend.



As you can see he's wearing a tiny little sweater.









The poor little guy wasn't used to all the flashes from the camera and got a little shaky. He'll have to get over the paparazzi stuff because he's too cute not to photograph.


This concludes my nonsense posting...until next time (scary laughter in the background).
