Good Morning

I walk around the house every morning after putting the boy on a big yellow schoolbus, esp Tuesday 'cause that is when the landscapers come and I want to make sure there are no toys in the yard. Yeah, a landscaper comes every Tuesday, trims, mows, moves the trampoline and we move it back.
We rent this house but the owner is still in love with the lawn. He came out and personally turned the sprinkler system on. It's a damn nice lawn. I have never lived in a house with a lawn quite this luxurious. I know they can be terribly environmentally unsound but, my goodness that is a nice freckn lawn! hmm. Spell check has no problem with the word freckn. funny, that.



The flowers out back are starting to bloom







See that grass? it's like that all over out huge back and front yards. Look out for deer poop, though.



I'm not sure what these flowers are called but they smell like roses and look like cabbage














I got a whole bunch of photos like this.


Where the little bitty bird was...












And then finally got one.



Baby starling, I think. There are literally hundreds of them in the plum tree eating midges and flitting about.















A tiny ant carrying a piece of leaf. These guys were all over the ground but hard to photograph cuz they were moving so DANG FAST.
