Oh what a beautiful morning

Honestly, it was all I could to to keep from bursting out in song as I walked around the yard this morning.  The sun is shining and it's a perfect day.  I took a brief video of Jody playing after she got her belly full; One of the best things about having a baby animal of any kind around is watching them having fun.





I consider Jody part of my mother's day package of gifts from Cliff, by the way.  I'm still enjoying the Crimson King maple tree he got me last year... a gift that keeps on giving. 

See, there in the distance?  It's a good-sized tree, considering we only got it a year ago.  

The trunk lists to the right a little, but that doesn't bother me.  


We had a nice motorcycle ride to Sedalia yesterday and our catfishing neighbor brought us a gallon freezer bag of catfish.  So all in all, it's a great day to be alive.


I've found out robins are the culprits who have destroyed my little tomato plants by eating the leaves off them.  Here's something funny:  I have a woodpecker with a sweet tooth; he's indulging in the nectar in the hummingbird feeder!
