We found these teacups a few weeks ago
at GW for .99 - can you believe it? My hsb
was going to make bird feeders out of them
until we got them home and realized
that we just couldn't do it.

Bed and Breakfast
Apparently the word is out in our neighborhood that we are running a bed and breakfast....
Can you see one of the room from here?
Me either maybe we need to look closer
Maybe we need to closer.....can you see it now?
Kind of minimalistic to me..... definitely a fixer upper
but.......Ms Bunny likes the cool comforts of modern concrete......
She was caught noshing on poppy leaves for dinner
Later she was caught having clover for dessert
In the back yard...under the porch.......
Mr Fat Butt (refer to this post)
http://jos2ndact.blogspot.com/2009/07/wanted.html
He apparently likes it more dark and dingy as well as airy
I haven't actually seen him eating - purely circumstantial evidence
although he didn't seem to care for some of his food choices.............
He has a more discerning palate for basil.
.... yes the same basil I planned on making tonight's pesto for dinner
This is what it looked like yesterday:
Today after Mr Fat Butt dined:
guess he couldn't reach the top leaves
Since we reserve the right to refuse......he's been cut off....by netting

Tag Your It
I've been tagged - Thanks to Dawn and Sunny!!
Dawn has shared about her pup, Sunny, so I decided to say a little abt mine:
I too have a yellow lab named Emily. She turned 11 April 1st. She is still very spry for an old dog. She doesn't like 4th of July - as a pup she didn't mind but as she has gotten older she gets frantic with the fire crackers.
She loves the dog park unfortunately the younger dogs are to much for her any more. She isn't into rough housing - she just likes to sniff and walk around
She is definitely a comfort puppy - she has never met a pillow she doesn't like and if there is one hanging out on the floor she'll find it

Show and Tell Friday
Please join Kelli and other participants
for Show and Tell Friday
Recently while I was at a local antique mall came across this teapot/kettle. It made me smile and for a brief moment thought of buying it. I realized I had no where to display it as it didn't really fit into my decor, beside at $12 it was to pricey for my budget. Instead I decided to take a picture and share it with everyone in hope it makes you smile as well.
Yes, it is a watermelon teapot!

New Flower Bed
So we came home and he started marking out the new flower bed.
He has decided he wants to make as many flower beds as he can so that there is less to mow. The plan is to get it marked out and move some of the perennials from other beds over. Either later this year or next Spring he plans on building a dry stack stone wall around it, so it'll be more of a raised bed.
Great job Chuck!!!!!
