all the time the squirrels were playing, this gold finch was enjoying their play as well!

 

run away while we can... make good our escape!

 

which way should I go? up or down?

 

 

had four of these monsters eating our bird seed this am... and teasing the dogs.. haha.. these two just stayed at it for a long time, like they knew something cold was coming...

 

coming home!

Enjoy the day...

 

and they kept flying

 

the lead bird up high has actually started to roll and is upside down in spinning downward.... the rest are still flying..

 

and away they flew...

 

Grandma Ann and Madison let the roller pigeons go.... Nope, she is not afraid of much!

 


Andrew was digging holes and setting traps to catch some big game...

 

then it was back to climbing trees... and chasing dreams...

 

Ms. Madison was not tooooooo sure about coming down into the spillway between the two ponds. It is quite a ways down and it took Andrew about oh... 2 seconds to get to the bottom... haha.. but she was not very sure at all as you can see... by the look on her face!

 

Andrew was impressed that Jagger came along and then when he saw him jump in the pool and set in the middle of it, and it was cold, and.. well, how cool is that, Andrew wanted to know!

 

haha... yelp.. where there is water, there is a boy, and a rock!!!

 

the old saying, where there is water.... there is a ....???

 

Madison enjoyed other things instead of the trip, or at least she wanted you to think that.. haha...

 

This shot reminds me of life a bit... trying to figure out the real from the mirrowed...

 

first time I have seen the stumps under the water since we bought the place in 1960. I wondered what life was like when the pond was built, and who did it and how...

 

No this is not staged! Ann is enjoying the trip as much as Andrew, however by the end of this outing, Madison was HEAVY and Ann was tired to say the least!!

 

and there were plenty of shells... but he enjoyed throwing rocks into the pond... like most boys would, haha...

 

Andrew could not decide which shell to pick up...

Andrew and Madison stayed with us...

 

Andrew and Madison stayed with us yesterday afternoon and evening, so Mom and Dad could take care of some business in Tulsa. We did the lunch thing and then Ms. Madison took a nap. Shortly after her waking up, Ann and I took the kiddos on a exploring trip around the farm. Our first stop was the bottom 'double pond', we call it, however, like Ann mentioned, the second pond is no more, it is a dry pond bed, but anyway, enjoy the photos...

The Goober Yard from our home last evening.

 

I saw this early and took some early shots with my phone which are posted on the stanmobile.blogspot.com site. Even before I took those, the front moving through and the clear skies below it was breathtaking. I wish I had my camera earlier and we could have really enjoyed those shots! Enjoy the day!

Great evening with the Robinson's in Stillwater last evening...

 

We visited with some life long family friends last evening. Ann and I and Great grandmother and MK and Phil and Tammy and Austyn had a wonderful time with Sharon, Lawerence, and Morgan.

Highlight: besides the way to much super great food, we learned of a fantastic party Morgan threw for his friends before Christmas that was strange, enlightening, and completely different from the run of the mill parties. These guests and Morgan will remember this party for their whole lives due to the circumstances of it.

Enjoy the day. I think the supercharged bunny and her brother are coming over for a bit, and yesterday we kept Austyn in the am. How cool, being a grandparent!! Loving it more and more everyday! But it sure helps remind you that it is better at 60 to have grandkids than kiddos of your own... haha... love to all..... s
