Friday and Saturday

 So we start out Friday around 10 AM, as I had just dropped off the car for the much cheaper brake job.  Indiana peeps, Ed's Car Care not only did the back breaks swiftly, but gave me a quote on the fronts (which the other guy called 'fine') that was such that Ed's would do both for about $100 more than the other guy quoted just the backs.  You go Ed's!

Bright Blue Day

Little robin not yet flight worthy

It was at this point Ed's called me (already!) with a sitrep!

What I was trying to get in the selfie!  Need to get Laurie to come with us sometime...

Typical day at the Pond

Heron...

Goose Family Robinson

...and the varmint

IDK what these are, but they line the west side of the Canal

His eminence and the Mrs

That night...

 

And Saturday, an unscheduled (and barely survived) trip to Shoaff...

Bunny #1

We paused here so Mr Squirrel didn't run into oncoming traffic

All this construction just so we can have flowers in the middle of the street

Bunny #2

He was singing us along

I definitely cut that bimini!

Off-roading

Uh-oh

Bigger uh-oh

Winner, "Worst placement of a picnic table"

Break #1

This was a ways off, still not sure if Groundhog's head or Squirrel's butt

Misty was watching this flicker and it's buddy hopping around the branch

Definitely varmint this time... Misty looked everywhere else but...

She was head-to-tail soaked at this point

Sees another doggie... I see "daddy being dragged" in my future

Two doggies ahead... every time we'd get a decent way be hind them, the black doggie took a poop (3X in about a quarter-mile).  So we passed them all...

...and there's two MORE doggies....

Another trail, another chipmunk

Break #2

We sat there for about 10 minutes- and THIS guy was bitching at us the whole time...

Never saw one before- it's called Fire Pink
