It's vacation, so you get more pictures!

 Instead of music this week, that is.  We took a Thursday early walk to avoid the severe storms later on that never happened...

What in the world is this thing?

Aw, someone spread petals for us...

THAT'S what that thing was!  More on this later...

I never knew they set up practice dummies for soccer...

These are new...

Wow, a Baltimore Oriole!  Maybe the third I've seen here in 11 years...

The asphalt mothership

Hmm... I never heard of these guys!  Apparently, they are "

northeast Indiana's only total design build site contractor"...

Dew on the weeds

And what is this?

"Who cares?  Let's walk!"

Pausing to let lady and doggie go by...

...followed by hubby and doggie

A lot of these down the back road

And these perfume the whole woods

"I love nature!"

Now this morning- the day I begin my 63rd journey around the sun...

It looked like a foot

A lot of perfume from this one, too

Good to know

Spit bugs out

These new guys are everywhere

I thought at a distance it was a varmint, but it was just a squirrel- a squirrel who, seconds later, got dive bombed by a small hawk

Misty still searched for varmintage

Good morning, Big Guy

First mosquito that did more than light.  He didn't do much after, either

Planting trees on the road near Alumni Center

Misty senses varmintage again...

...but found nada

The landing before we arrived...

...and after

Apparently someone no longer wanted their boat's built in sink...

Hunting froggies

Ha ha, Misty, you missed one

Goslings and Mom

Apparently the "hot asphalt" was just patching sections

First Goldfinch I saw this year I missed, but got the Missus
