ABC WEDNESDAY ~T~

Time again for ABC WEDNESDAY. Today's letter is T.

The month of June begins our 7th year of living in this house. We live between a city and a town in an unincorporated area. I enjoy the country setting, the corn field at the end of the road and all the wild life that travels through our yard. I have no idea where they are coming from or where they are going, but most animals travel through twice a day. In the morning. they are headed one way and in the evening they are coming back through the other way.

We have seen these animals every year, but this is the first year that we have seen the great display that they put on during mating season.

My T... is for... TURKEYS

This is Tom. He is coming out of the woods.









His friends continue through the woods.

Tom is heading to the neighbor's yard.

This looks like a good place.

Do you think she noticed?

Doesn't look like it. Tom heads back to find his friends.

But look ... who's following behind.

ABC WEDNESDAY is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and her Team.

So far, so good! this is the second day of the mem and my second post.

  STINGRAY ~

Last year my husband and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary with a Cruise. One of our excursions was to Grand Cayman. There we took a boat to STINGRAY CITY, which is a large sandbar in the ocean where boats anchor and tourist can view and swim with Stingray.

Female Stingray are HUGE!

Male stingray are much, much smaller.

It is said,If you kiss a Stingray, you will receive 7 years of good luck.

The one with the lethal tail is the MALE, the smaller one.

The males tend to skim the bottom and that should be a sign that they want to be left alone.

Females are very friendly and the HUGE ones.They can be 6 feet across. The people on these boats do this almost every day and know the stingray by their markings, so they know which one can be handled.

Mellow Yellow Monday

WOW- the week went by fast! Here it is time again for Mellow Yellow Monday.
Today, I chose a plant from my garden. It is a ground cover under an Oak tree. I just LOVE the texture of the leaves and the tiny yellow flower under them.                                                                                

This Dead Nettle, Yellow Archer, grows 6 - 8 inches tall.

ABC WEDNESDAY ~R~

Today, ABC WEDNESDAY is featuring the letter ~R~.

My ~R~?

~R~ is for Robin.

We have lived in this house for 6 years. 5 of those years, in a pine tree, just outside the front door, a Mama Robin has laid eggs in a nest.

Some years, she has laid them in early May and mid June. Some years she has just laid them in June.

Most times, we don't even notice that she is there. And ... she gets use to us going in and out the door.

And so do the little ones.

The great thing is ... she builds and repairers the nest on the side of the tree that is just outside our bay window.

I am sure you were wondering how I got all these great shots.

So far, we have seen her in the tree and in the bushes below, but have not seen her sitting.

Looks like this is going to be a "June" year.

MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY

Here it is ... that time again. It's been a few weeks since I posted something ... partly because ... the week goes so fast and I forget until Tuesday and partly because I am one of those people who wants to post something different. Don't get me wrong ... I LOVE all the flowers! In fact, yellow flowers are my favorite, but ... I have to be different ... it's in my genes!

This week, my MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY  post is brought to you by Madison's (WI) Farmer's Market on the SQUARE.

Doesn't this golden honey look DELICIOUS? And I just LOVE the little bear bottles.
