Not So Shy DH

DH always has a photogenic smile, even when he's sleepy. Really.

What's that growing out of your neck?

Okay, let's go in...the skeeters are hungry! Slap! That woke him up.

It's a happy talent to know how to play.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

We're getting glorious Fall days and nights,

great for planting mums and for watching

the does with their fawns.

They come to feast on the persimmons

in the back yard.

They play tag and romp and leap.

But they don't like my camera.

So I thought I'd post a not-so-shy dear.

I caught DH being a bit playful

as he and I were in the yard putting away the spinners

and deciding where to plant new daffodils & tulips.

Now if the dear deer & chipmunks would just leave them alone.

Anticipation

We've been painting inside and out, powerwashing and staining the deck and fence, raking, mowing, planting, and mulching ... and one nice morning we took a break to go to a city park where Ella caught her first fish EVER. That pic is on Emily's blog.

Here's DH fishing that morning--he walked the entire lake perimeter only to do lots of fishin' but no catchin'. This foto is my best catch of the day.

Anticipation! We have a fishing trip planned for early May and another for early June. Whether it's fishin' or catchin', DH and I will definitely be restin'. Vacation, we're ready for ya.
