| Sunshine and warm weather returns!!!! | |
|  |   Lodge Bluff Homes phase 2 is progressing!  Lucas is supervising
    homes #3 and 4, but the  | 
| The ditch is back on!  Buddy's favorite thing is when we throw pebbles into the irrigation ditch for him to chase. | |
|  |  | 
| New steers have arrived. They are fascinated by Buddy. | The feeling is not returned. | 
|   To be honest, they creep him out. He'd rather play indoors, thank you. |  | 
| The first fawn sighting of the year for me! | |
|   Stopped by The Timbers Lodge one day when it was decorated for an event. |  | 
| A visit from Rebecca & Bryce! The family converged for the occasion. | |
|   Eric, Buddy, Katie, and Larry at the corn hole boards. |  | 
| Introducing Buddy & Bryce, Buddy never likes kids until they are about 12. | |
|  |  | 
| Now the corn hole gets serious. | If Jeb is involved, then there's a lot of trash talk for sure. | 
|  |  | 
| Family gathering around the fire. | A Celtic concert at Indian Springs golf club, provided by our local Sunburst Arts group. | 
|  |   Some of the many swans we were blessed to admire this year on Costich Lake. | 
| My Mom shared this photo of my Dad tending to the screen door that separates outdoor cat Tom from indoor cat Patch. He's having to add a second lock to the door at cat level so they can fight through the screen better. | |
| 
 At first I thought this was a large group of swans, but then I saw that half of them were some kind of pelican. | |
|   Here's a closer look at them. |  | 
| Now they're taking off. They were disorganized at first. | |
|  |  | 
| But they quickly got into order | Here's a closer look at two of them, heading out to new adventures. | 
|  |  | 
| An eagle was perched on our fence one day, just past our garden. | Here he takes flight. | 
|  |  | 
| Turns out a red-winged blackbird was pestering him. | No doubt protecting a nest. What a brave little bird, eagles are huge! | 
|  | |
| One lone pelican came through later in the month, he must have lost his group. | |
