Pic a Day in May - 30 - Silly Wabbit

There are some rabbits in the neighborhood and I think they have a death wish... this little fella always seems to get under the deck before the dogs can get to him...but he will grow up and not be able to fit under that deck soon...

The hydrangea are starting to really take off... I hope they stay in bloom through Steph and Say's engagement party...

This one is almost all white, which I have never seen on one of these bushes before... neat.

And baby bunny found his mama... of course two minutes after this both were about eaten alive by Pino and Roxy...

Pic a Day in May -29- Friends

It was a good weekend.  There is something weird in the air though... in a good kinda way though... more on that in another post... it was great to have our friends over for a cookout Saturday night... (Jeff, Stace, Say, Steph and Joe)... great fun sitting outside shooting the shit and drinking and just relaxing...

The doggies all together on the sofa with me...

Grilled BBQ chicken with some asparagus and onions...mmmm...

There was also some corn on the cob... yummy....

The chicken was not the only thing that got a little burnt on the outside...

Thanks for a great weekend everyone... getting back to the grind today sucked... but good thing is that we are now on summer hours at work and that means half day Fridays for me...YAY!!

Pic a Day in May - 28 Memorial Day-DADT

I think this picture is more appropriate this year, more so than all the years I have been posting it on this blog... I want to thank all the men and women of our armed forces who have put their lives on the line, and especially those who have lost their lives protecting America and our rights... My mom's twin brother served in the Army during Vietnam, flying helicopters, then served many years with the Coast Guard.  We, as a family know what it is like to have a loved one serve our country. A grandfather I never met was in WWII.  I have had several close friends who served, even going to the Middle Easst.  I appreciate all that they have done and gone through to protect this Nation.  This year, with the repeal of DADT, I am happy to see that everyone who is out there protecting us can live with not only having to look over their shoulder for the enemy, but now, not having to look over their other shoulder worrying about their own countrymen turning them in for being who they are.  Today, we salute ALL of our great men and women who served and are serving our country... and remember all those who have died for us. 
THANK YOU
