Summertime Love

First of all, we are about to get another little thunderbumper ~ I love it! Luckily, I did get the kids out this morning while we had a peek of sunshine. Look at the cuteness I got out of the kiddos during sprinkler time. Finn didn't warm up to the camera until later.













Look at those lashes!!




I don't even know how Finn cut his nose, but I tried some retouching on the next few photos. What fun!








Now, why get more pets when your yard is a revolving wildlife center. Yesterday, we stumbled upon this little guy in our herb garden.



I shouldn't say little. This turtle is at least 8 inches across. I thought someone was joking with us and had put a little garden prop there b/c he wasn't moving. I taped on the shell and his little head and feet popped right into his shell. We spend the next 15 minutes waiting for him to reemerge!!







Anybody want some oregano?? Seriously, I could feed the whole community. It's out of control!



Eat your heart out Bambi! These little fawns joined us for lunch yesterday (or was it 2 days ago!). We watched them from the dining room window. Ally was screaming with excitement but they never ran away!
