Recipe for Preserved Children

A friend of mine sent me this recipe....it is one of our favorites

Preserved Children

Take one large field, half a dozen children, two or three small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles.  Mix the children and dogs well together; put them on the field, stirring constantly.  Pour the brook over the pebble; sprinkle the field with flowers; spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the sun.  When brown, set away to cool in the bathroom. 

Enjoy a few snapshots from our recent vacation....
















See you later!

Nature Discoveries!


Zak's prize. He got a lot of milage with this scary critter giving me the jumps.


I am glad the boys found this one and not me! It does have pretty markings though.


We have no idea what this is...at first we thought it was legless lizard but then the tiny little legs appeared. Such a long tail!


First they saw the turtle dove eggs...


Then one of the eggs hatched and one chick sat on the nest for a few days....next we found the chick out of it's egg but it did not make it.  :(


This is the little bird we saw a few weeks ago. SO cute.


We are finding more chameleons since our cat has passed away. This is a small male one. Love his bright colors.


He is hissing at us as he look out at us from inside Max's hat.


Our new puppy, his name is diamond.
