MAY 4, 2009 IMAGES OF LIFE IN LOCKIE LAND TODAY
I have been taking a few photos lately and have not shared any in a long time, so on a rainy Monday, when I should be doing other things .. I am playing on the computer! lol
No one else does this I am sure!!!
The collage above is of my wigela bush in my backyard. It is so pretty this year! I have some iris this year.. but it is not a good year for them, the wind has been might rough on them. Lot of broken stalks, and just torn up flowers, from nothing more than wind.
But the wigela is going strong and so I will share its beauty with you.. The butterflies are swarming it! All kinds... Painted Ladies, and Monarch, Butter Bits, Swallow Tails, and I even found a Lumina on it, one morning last week.. Those moths are so gorgeous!
This comparison is of the same place on the creek, taken from the same spot. It has rained and rained until the creeks can't hold it all any longer, and the river has jumped its banks also.
I couldn't even get down to the place the one photo was taken.. the water is all the way up to the entrance to the fishing hole!
I found these yesterday on the side of the road by the creek. This is a wonderful wild flower that goes by the name of Solomons Seal. I have always loved these plants, have tried to transplant them many times.. but it just is not to be.. they pick their home and won't be moved!
Now we get to the inside of the house. Here is the newest member of my household. Good ole "Jackson the Parrot Dog"!
He loves to crawl up on Gary's arm and go to sleep.. snoring sleep .. deep puppy sleep!I have never seen a dog do this kind of thing before, ever.. the top picture is more in keeping with what dogs will usually do when they sleep. Jackson has not sprouted any tail feathers yet so we are hoping it is just a passing phase.
If it isn't, well Gary needs to start lifting weights.. because this little guy is growing by leaps and bounds, and pretty soon, he is going to be quite a chunk of weight to let sleep on his shoulder.
He wants to sleep in the bed, so I let him. I wake up in the mornings and he is up on the top of my pillow with his head laid on the top of mine.. go figure!
I will finish up with a little video that will show you that my suspicion that Jackson has ADD is well founded.. lol.. hope you enjoyed the tour of the things in Lockie Land in May 2009.
I enjoyed presenting them to you!

Looks like a little bit of heaven right here on earth.

Love that flwr.. I tell the kids that is where Tinker bell llives, cause those tiny flowers look like little bells. Never knew the name.
Hahahaha Jackson the pirate dog, he sleeps high in the sky.. COME ON SING WITH ME!! Jackson the pirate dog.. guys?... SING! LoL! if he continues this I wnat pictures!! hehehe.
As for him sleeping above your head.. glad it's not his hind end you wake up to.. giggle.
Freddie, you need to go to the eye doctor. I have shown you some blooms on a bush, the creek at flood stage, and my dog whom is insane.. this is not heaven.. I hope it is not even close! But then again, you are not from around this galaxy are you, so this might be heaven material for you.. I love ya green and scaly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vinnie, did you notice the little pieces of white stuff on the carpet?.. That is little pieces of paper towel.. he discovered that it is lots of fun to snipe them from the trash can and then go ripping and tearing around.. and around .. and around... and around.. lol.. I love that pooch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Iggy..
ReplyDeleteHave mercy! You think my carpet is beautiful! Did you not see the little white spots all over it.. Jackson has discovered the art of tearing paper towels up into little tiny pieces and then he might just pee on them.. to make an artistic statement or something! He is a whole bag full of fun .. I love his little white fuzzy butt!
ReplyDeleteGreat.. thanks for posting it in your pictures.. I have to tell ya.. seeing bits and slices through the backgrounds of your blogs can make a woman just a bit over wrought.. lol.. be there in a bit to check it out!
It is still raining! And supposed to continue all week long! My garden is floating, the weird watermelon farmers seeds are floating.. ( snicker!) and poor ole Jackson just about drowned in a mud puddle in the front yard!
ReplyDeleteHave we got a working page over at your site?.. I will be there directly to check it out .. I loves ya sis..
Okay - that dog is so f'in cute I could eat 'im up!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling he would get in a few good bites out of you first OJ! He is gnawing on everything.. and I literally mean everything.. he even attacks the fireplace poker.. he is learning though.. it will roll his little butt up!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys are water loged too. I about had it will the monsoon season.
ReplyDeleteI saw you are (Your state) is getting rain again today.. last night.
ReplyDeleteThat Jackson is such cuteness! I want one!!
Man it rained last night, adding to the already soaked and sogged out grounds inability to absorb any more.. I mean it rained! I am afraid to go and check out the river.. I bet it is rocking a rolling!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am it rained cats and dogs and frogs last night! Jackson is meaner than hell is what Jackson is.. little shit bit me today.. yes, he got his biter smacked for it too!
ReplyDeleteHope he was playing and not paying attention.. he wasn't trying to be boss was he?
ReplyDeleteYou okay? I know those little needle teeth hurt!
As cute as Jackson is, my daughter's dog, and, my bro-n-law's dogs.. I don't think I have the energy to train a puppy right now. Darn things have too much energy - you know.. Of course you do.
ReplyDeleteLoL
I'll just have to give bruno and casper each a bath and bring them in.. They hate being in the house.. don't know why.. (maybe too crowded)
WOW! You did get a lot of rain! You took some great photos. The flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe puppy is so cute! Love the video. He knows who's pillow to sleep on....the person who's hand feeds him....HA! Fantastic post!
