July Slips Away in the Shaw Yard

This was my facebook post last night before I went to bed,

"what a yard-full of activity!  Our grandma cat Blackie

brought 3 kittens:  Yamaha, Mr. Bubbles and Grace to our house.

Toby, the beagle, and Yamaha are NOT hitting things off well...

lots of puffy tails, hair standing on end, hissing and woo-woo-wooing.

Kids were also blowing bubbles in the sunset....COOL pictures.

Also 4 baby birds in nest over window."

So here are the photos of our evening in the yard

as July slipped away into August.

Erin watering the yarrow (only thing the grasshoppers won't eat.)

Thunderstorm over Pierre (2 hours away).

Check out Chad Coppess' blog Dakotagraph for his view.

The 4 baby birds. . . ok, they are barn swallows.

Not a favorite among birds.

But they are NOT in my little "garage" . . .

pooping on the hood of my car.

This would be Yamaha.

Who is NOT a beagle lover.

And THIS is blowing bubbles in the sunset.

They had a HYSTERICAL time.

In the Psalms it says this ...

and we sing it almost every Sunday...

"This is the day that the Lord has made,

we will rejoice and be glad in it."
