The other day the dogs kept getting upset and barking.

I went to the door and saw an AT&T truck sitting out front

and thought that was why.  But then I heard this weird scraping noise

and thought the guys from the truck were doing something around

the front door.  I looked to see what they could be doing and found this guy

trapped between the window and the chair trying to get out.

 I scared him he scared me and I left him

alone because of it.  When I checked about an hour

later he was gone.

 When I went outside to photograph the turtle
I saw this flower blooming and thought it looked as pretty
from the back as it did from the front
 especially the way the light came through it.

 And I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Chuck online, Tuesday.

He doesn't care.  I said it in person and that's what he prefers.

 Some of the family came over Sunday to celebrate

with us as a surprise.  Trish put his gift in a girly bag, cute.

Chuck, his Mom and Frank and Renny.  Renny

really likes Frank.

Corey and James and Mini-onion

Chuck saw a painting of a beagle he liked in an antique store.

So I painted one of his beagle for his birthday.

He named her L.C. when we got her because she 

had papers and it was fancy for Lady of Charles.

But we never filed the papers and when she goes to the

vet she's just Elsie.  She's become an old lady, poor baby.

I can't remember if she's 11 or 12.

 I spent all of last week sanding, and painting part of the

kitchen.  We decided to wait to finish it because I'm still 

not sure I like the color.  I wanted gray and on a small door

it looked just right but on all of these doors it's got a 

cooler blue base look.  I am a warm color person.  I

just don't know if I can warm up to this color.
