The Enchanting Snakebird

I hope you're not tired of the Anhinga because I was really enamored by them! They're also referred to as the Snakebird because of their habit of only having the head above water while fishing.

I loved watching them sun, so beautiful all spread out like that!

I love their little puffy heads!

And their modest splash of color amongst the black and white.

Truly incredible birds!

Rare and Magnificent

The pink ladyslipper (Cypripedium acaule) is one of Wisconsin’s wild orchids and I suppose it can be found in several places throughout the state. But there's only one place I've seen it. One place I go back to every year to see it again and it never disappoints. So today, I'm thankful for things I can count on, things that are rare, and things that may take a little effort to find but when found lift the spirits up.

Adrianna's First Coach Purse

Remember how I said Addy is a girly girl? Of course you do, that was just yesterday, lol. Well, one day, PaPaw got a bug up his butt that the little precious one year old needed a Coach purse. So off we went to find one. Do you know that they don't really make small purses for one year olds?

We did find a coin purse that looked to be about the right size for her, so we brought it home. How many 1 year olds do you know with $70 purses? Think she might be spoiled?

She loves it! And she knows how to carry it!

See, she's sitting ON the reflector, poor little princess can't sit on the grass.

And I guess you could say brother is all boy. He didn't even want to touch the purse. Pretty funny considering when we gave Addy the purse he wanted one too, lol.

Perfect Time of Year

Finally the days are warm and the potatoes are coming up. French fried, baked, mashed, julienned ~ I've never met a potato I didn't like!  How do you like yours?

PS - Which photo do you like better? I couldn't decide. . .

Our Girly Girl

My precious granddaughter is all girl! She loves flowers!

Even tries to eat them, lol.

She's willing to share.

She's a little easier to photograph than her brother, it's just getting her to look.

She loves her puppy! Often you'll find her napping on him, and he doesn't mind at all.

She loves dresses and sparkles too. She's a very girly girl!

SO much of a girl that when she sees the reflector, she thinks it's her spot to sit, lol. She was sitting on the gold side here, can you tell?

But she hasn't quite figured out the idea of blowing dandelions, lol.

The 4th butterfly

When you're told T3N2M0 in connection with a cancer diagnosis you get scared, well, once you figure out exactly what that means you get scared.  When you read that this scoring means you have a 20-30% chance of being alive in 5 years you get determined!  And when you are sitting in that chair getting butterfly #4 on your survivor tattoo project you begin to truly have hope!  Today is the 1st day of the last year working towards that big 5 and I'm going to beat those odds!
