happy foo'in feckant!

yesterday was june 2nd.
our family will forever refer to
it as "foo'in feckant".
years ago, when i was growing up,
there was a boy in our neighborhood
who's birthday falls on this date.
but whenever you asked him when his
birthday was, he would reply
"foo'in feckant"...we recognize it
every year! funny what you carry
with you your whole life!

i have a wren building a nest in my
little red bird house that i bought
about 3 years ago in excelsior.

apparently the male flies around
and sets up house at several different
places then invites the female to
inspect them all and select her
favorite and when she makes her selection
she tears everything out of the house
that the male prepared and re-does
the whole thing. don't ya just love
the wren!? :) don't even get me started
about their song....it's my favorite
(next to the cardinal).





yesterday emily had her "kid" party.
never a drop of rain on her luau themed
pool party! this was fun here's some
shots from the day...









she got a real, live, russian tortoise!
i believe i have mentioned that emily loves turtles.
her best friend gave this to her!





today, i am heading up to camp courage in annandale.
the miracles of mitch foundation is sponsoring a
week there this summer ($40K!) and so they are
getting a tour of the facility and i wanted to check
it out as well. i'm not so certain that i will be
able to go up there the week that they have
selected, but i'll make a valiant effort for sure!

oh, a little prison work yesterday as we tore
out all the mulch from the passed 4 years and
replaced it with all new...what a work out!
