The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.....

 

 

Oi.... with that said, now I may begin....

Our "little" pet...aka backyard Gator, was removed last weekend.  Seems, he/she was a bit more aggressive than should have been, and he/she wasn't so little, 6'2...ggeeesh! A few other locals reported said "critter" to the state gaming commission, they dispatched a Gator dude, and well, that was that.......With the "critter" gone, the watering hole has sprung back to life.  My heart aches a bit for the "critter", tho I think it was for the best, with the kids, & animals roaming the hood, glad he/she had not harmed anyone...

Speaking of animals, now the "hood" is experiencing a Pit Bull & Doberman running about loose...I love dogs, but any animal I'm afraid of if I don't know them personally.   Seem the "locals" are up in arms about these two pesky beast, they stopped by my lanai the other afternoon, guess they smelled the litter boxes, thought they would investigate...I must say they seem a little scary, but soon were running after one another, then jumping in the water.  I'm thinking they are 2 mischievous  puppies causing some trouble for their owner.....

The other day at work, during lunch we were talking about various subjects, someone brought up, that the difference between the sexes...He said, that a woman's index finger and their ring finger are not the same length.  That the a woman's ring finger is always smaller, and that a man's ring finger and index finger are the same length....(how many of you are physically checking this right now?)  So everyone was comparing this theory, When I spoke out loud, "hey...I can tell hubby I found out I was a girl today....The room roared with laughter...I blinked a few times, and thought did I really say that out loud....Oi!

Well, hum?

 

 

Awoke a few days ago to another beautiful day, gosh the lake looks wonderful......What?....hum? Let me zoom in....

eeek!

 

 

"he/she" decided to get a closer look to.....eeek....

 

So I got to wondering, does anyone else wake up with a Gator in their back yards????   Well, Hum?

 

P.s....he/she was their again 2 minutes ago....eeek!

Wildlife update.....

  

 

BIG BIG SHOUT FOR GMA TURNING 101 ON JULY 4TH

LOVE YA GMA!!!!

 

The rainy season is here...Every afternoon we get a ton of water.  No complaints here.. our lake is filling up nicely.  The turtles are poking their heads up, fish a flipping, they had to be stuck in the mud there for a bit, the lake was getting a tad low. but I'll take the rain over a hurricane any day!

 

   The Muskogee ducks are back visiting us again....They know I throw crackers to them, the other night they came up to the lanai hollering at hubby for their crackers.  Hubby hollered back, she's not here to give you crackers, they looked at him for a second, turned around and flew away...lol   The Mallard ducks want nothing to do with us.  About a week ago, mom had to scoot 5 of her babies, across the lawn into the lake, she sure kept a close eye me, I offered crackers, but she thought lady you're crackers..lol

 

Since hubby's back home, no snakes to wrangle...THANK YOU JESUS! AMEN.  Not sure I'll get the gumption to walk out on the grass barefoot again, knowing those critters are around.  At the very least I'll slap on a pair of combat boots!

Cboi is enjoying his summer away from us.  He's working non stop tho....during the week he works at his University, and on the weekends he's the "Sample" guy at the grocery store.  He's going to be a senior this year, unbelievable...my how time fly's.  He participated with the 1st orientation this year, he was giggling to himself, remembering how wide eyed, and nervous he had been on his orientation day.  I certainly remember how scared I was that day.....He knows his childhood journey is over, and he is ready to begin a new chapter.   We are blessed for sure!
