Step 1 - Leave Jim to sit my himself.

Step 2: Watch the entire Chiefs staff hit the field.

Step 3: Hold breath in anticipation of tarp blowing away.

Step 4: Enjoy the fact that you didn't have to help pull the tarp!

My Wild Backyard

So they don't live in the backyard, but I do have a house finch family living under the overhand outside my kitchen window. Chippy lives down a hole right next to my wildflowers in the backyard. I actually small a babyish squirrel the other day, although he may have just been a midget.

Today it was confirmed, I do indeed have a bunny nest in the backyard. It is much more pleasant that the few gigantic ant hills I have. Any tips on getting rid of the huge ant hills? I had a bunny sighting after I was two lawnmower passes away from their nest. I looked over and three little bunnies shot out of the hole towards the fence. They were so tiny and cute, but I didn't have my camera on me at the time.

I lucked out tonight and as I was walking back from hooking up the hose at the back of the yard... I just avoided stepping on the bunny. He was hunkered down away from the nest waiting for me to pass by. I was afraid I had clipped him with the lawnmower and he had died. I nudged him with my foot and he skittered away to the fence. Once again, no camera on me.

I went into the house, grabbed my camera and made my way back outside. I scanned the fence line and saw bunny trying to hide behind the weeds I've been trying to kill. I wish I could have pet him, he looks so fuzzy. He could totally sit in the palm of my hand.

Hangin' Out, Seein' People

I took last Friday off from work and got to spend most of the day with Matt. He was in town for the Owens Center ice show. I attended the ice show with Vince and Sofia. I also got to catch-up with Matt's Mom, Coach and Sister before and after. Definitely a fun day!

The weekend it self was pretty much a blur. Getting things done outside in the yard (another flowerbed) and things done inside. I was able to stop by to visit the parents and saw Tom and Laura for a bit to see what all they had gotten done in their yard.

Last night I chilled with Sandra and Sofia for girls night... wish I had more energy, but I kind of tired myself out. It was my first day in about a week of not running around somewhere. Sandra treated me to a new experience of a Smore made over the electric stove top. Pretty good, even though I'm not a marshmallow person, but definitely not something to right home to Mom about.

Tonight I mowed the lawn at warp speed so I got get a bite to eat before heading down to enjoy the Chiefs game. Absolutely perfect weather at the ballpark. I even managed to get my second game ball of the season. Third ball of the season if you count the "tarp" ball Tom snagged for me.
