While looking for the pictures of melody to post, I found some pictures I had planned to post and never did, so here they are, just for fun.

Midas by my 4th of July flowers

The heavy rain we had produced some really amazing wildflowers in the front yard. And they have lasted so long.

if anyone wants seeds for next year let me know. I’ll be pulling them up soon.

an interesting spiderweb in the back yard. Never saw a spider in it.

This one looked neat after the sprinklers went off. It looks like suspended raindrops.

my orange brandy rose put on one yellow bloom several times this year. That’s never happened before. It also produced a totally different petal of a different color⬇️

when we came out of the doctors office last week.

after having lunch one day, we encountered these two amazing restored broncos parked near our little 1989 Bronco ll. The one on the right is from 1963, not sure about the other one. We waited awhile to talk but the people never came out.

we’ve had so many butterflies this year. I captured three at one time in this photo

the sunset was beautiful last night.

Hope you enjoyed these random pictures. I love taking them and then sharing them.
thanks for tagging along

here’s our little cutie patutie, or I should say cupie doll.

I love her little turban and her smile is so infectious

Below it looks like she’s telling a long story using her hands just like a kid does

Hannah and Javie are going to have so many wonderful experiences raising this beautiful child. The worries do come but the joy gets you though.

here’s Tracy just showing some teeth. Dig that 60’s hairdo🫣

Here’s Hannah just seeing the teeth coming in.

there’s that infectious baby smile again and look at all that hair. Tracy and Hannah weren’t that lucky.

since we aren’t traveling in the coach anymore I’m not sure what you might see here. I still take lots of pictures and like sharing them. This is my only social media outlet.
So hope it’s something of interest now and again or maybe just once in awhile so you’ll want to return. I’d love it if you did.

Here is our beautiful Midas. This picture is from 2011. Look at those dazzling gold eyes, and that’s how he got his name. You can also see the white hair on his belly that you don’t see very often.

I know how much all of you love your pets and how much pleasure and joy they bring you, just like our Midas. We were thrilled when after 14 years of never wanting to be an inside cat, he decided to run in out of the rain and now it’s the heat. He still wants to go outside to roam his territory, roll in the sand, chomp on the catnip, and hunt for lizards. He will let us know with that unmistakable caterwaul when he wants back in. In the beginning he was following me around like a new puppy, constantly wanting to sit in my lap for attention and wasn’t happy until I sat down. But then he discovered our bed after starting to sleep with us. Now he hangs out there during the day a lot.

He still likes my lap though.

Then had to change the blanket to a scratch pad, those long claws kept snagging. I think he likes this better.

This was one of his favorite spots at first. ⬇️Of course, people who know cats, know they will love a spot for weeks or months and then just like that they won’t go near it. He abandoned this after a a few weeks. ⬇️ Do you think Lily would like it Ray? Martha?

These were given to us by a friend and he tried out both of them for awhile, but he never goes back now.

it gets uglier but I wont post those pictures, the poor lizard was pregnant😢

He keeps a watchful eye on his territory every day. ⬇️Sometimes with a low profile.

But one disadvantage of being an outside cat, those pesky mosquitoes are biting Midas’s nose. It started last year and the vet diagnosed it. Nothing we can do for him.

And that’s a glimpse into our beautiful Midas’s world.

stay tuned

I have pictures of our great granddaughter Melody
