Cicadas

We don't like the cicadas. We saw them when we were camping and they seemed to have followed us home. They are all over our trees and the ground. They are so loud! We can even hear them with our all windows closed. Mama said they will be gone in a few weeks and they only come out every 13 years. We hope so! Scout doesn't even want to play in the yard anymore.

Rough Morning, Scout?

Scout looks like she is having a really rough morning. She must have stayed up late last night.

Snake!

We need to update everyone on our camping trip that we took last week, but we have breaking news! Last night, Mama and Scout were walking in the front yard and they saw a snake without a head. :-O They came running into the house yelling for Daddy. Daddy went out and determined that the snake was headless and he tossed him in the field. Mama said if the snake was back tomorrow, she was going to freak out. Well, the snake is back in our front yard right now! He is still headless and now is smelling pretty bad. We figure some animal brought him back to the yard to munch on him. Mama told Daddy to toss him across the road this time and if it comes back again, she is not going out in our yard until winter. She hates snakes.

Mama has been really busy since our camping trip. She has been taking classes for a new job while still doing her current job. She finally completed the classes last night and now she has to start taking phone calls. She is really nervous about doing that part, but once she gets the hang of it, she thinks she will like it. We hope she does because it sounds like a pretty cool job.

We've Been Busy, But Nothing Exciting

Daddy has been out of town this week, so we have been helping Mama. She was going on and on about how she needs to buy her own tools because Daddy seems to hide them or take them apart before he leaves so that she can't do things around the house. He took his cordless screwdriver apart, but swears it's all there. It's not. Mama resorted to a regular screwdriver to get things done. It took longer, but she did it.

The cows were out in the field last night and I wasn't sure about them, so I barked. Well, I barked once and then cried, but I did bark and it was loud. You should have seen how the cows reacted. I don't think they will be messing with us.

Mama re-potted a flower that she was given at the anniversary party. We think it looks nice. This might be all we plant this year, except we have a tomato plant. Scout likes it for some reason.

We've been busy chasing bunnies. We haven't caught any yet, but it sure is fun running around the yard with them.

We will be away for a few days because we are going camping. It is supposed to rain the entire time. We are not having good luck with our camping this year.
