There's a lot more light...

and a lot more mess in our 'back yard' right now. It's made a huge difference -- it's so sunny out there! The tree crew dropped eight big oaks Monday. This is actually an 'after' photo, sort of. It was a lot crazier before, Michael has been working on it all week.

Our friend Mike was lending a hand today. We invited him over for a visit and then put him to work! Nice! Hmmm... I wonder why we don't have more company?!

It's an all-summer-long project, so if you're looking for Michael the next few months -- you now know exactly where to find him!

She hops like a flea and burrows like a tick!

We think she's been sneaking coffee and smoking cigarettes 'cause her growth seems stunted. We've had her for 1 1/2 months and she's only gotten a little longer and not much heavier. There are dwarf bunnies. Maybe we have a dwarf kitty. There's nothing small about her attitude. She has two speeds: asleep and attack! Her eyes were closed when I first started taking the picture. The shutter woke her up and shortly after she jumped at the wrist strap of the camera.

Last night she went for a little swim in the toilet. Ask Michael about it the next time you talk to him! Ha, ha, ha! She really is the Monster Baby, don't be fooled by her cute looks.
