Our Cats

This is Johnie curled up sleeping. Isn't he so cute? He did scratch me once , but it wasn't that bad.
This is Johnie inside the house. Our cats are outdoor cats, but sometimes they come in for a few minutes.
This is Johnie and J.C. in the kitchen.


J.C. likes to explore the house. Once one of the cats went up stairs!

" J.C. was exploring the house," mom said.

I love our cats!

Threstle Rock Trail

Sunday afternoon, we went walking on the trail at the park near our house. We came upon some big rain puddles. We looked closer and found tadpoles. The next day we went back with a net and a container.

We put them in the container and took them home. We caught some tadpoles with just tails, some with hind legs, and three teeny tiny frogs.

Here are two of the three frogs on a rock in the container.
Here is one on my finger. Do you see how tiny it is?

It was sooo cool!

It's eyes were still open, but it was still dead.

The Outdoors

This is one of my favorite statues, it's a froggy holding a tube that collects and measures rain water.
This is the pear tree. It has more leaves than the plum tree does.
These are the, well I don't realy know the name, but aren't they pretty?
This is the plum tree, like I said, it doesn't have as much leaves as the pear tree does.Our red bird feeder doesn't get as much birds, but it is pretty.


I don't know the name of these white flowers but they are beautiful!


This is my mom's Rose of Sharon.

This is our strawberry plant, when ever there are strawberries we pick them and eat them right away.

This is my mom's pink rose, it's called: Jacob's Coat. It is very pretty.

Baking

Did I ever mention that my sister and I love to bake? Yesterday we made brownies with our dad! They were so good! They had lots of fudge inside and outside!!!

Our dad let us have some of the extra dough in the bowl, it was so yummy too!

My sister and I put some sprinkles on and our dad gave us some ice cream too!

A lizard

This is a lizard we found in our backyard. Doesn't it look weird? Click on the picture so that you can get a closer look. My mom tried to catch it and I think that's how it lost it's tail...
