It's Friday and a Long Weekend. Shall we party?

HATE to mess up listener's pretty lay out, but this is the logical place to put this, lol!

This is the only way to do this: if I try and post it, the software thinks it is *real* HTML, and either makes a link, or tells me it can't post because some tag or other isn't closed.

Have a Brownie..

Incase you're wondering, these dessert photos are from the Volunteer Dessert we have each year for the good folks who volunteer at the Library.  :-)


Update from Renee. Forehead slap--I completely forgot that we'd be losing the Echo comments at some point. Had to re-jigger something so that the usual Blogger comment option would kick in. Here's the link to the Echo comments from earlier today.

Lemon-Lime Bars

Time for Breakfast...

Speaking of Time...we need to make a decision about what time the Blog resets each day.  What if we set it for midnight Central Time, since Renee is the founder of HEP?  That would make it easier on those on the west coast, be good for those who feel it currently resets too soon each night, and we east-coasters tend to be night owls anyway.  Just a thought.  What's your thought?

Volunteer Trillium

I found this in my front yard under the window!

Happy Sunday!

Today is the party for Dr.*Son over in Maine.  :-)  We're extra glad because we'll be leaving behind temps in the 90's to go to the coast where it will be 68-70F.  Ahhhhhhh.  Remind me to tell you about the harps!

Pansies!!

Trip to the Greenhouse

Oops...belatedly...

Another Island Castle

Knowing how way leads on to way...

Carelton's Prize

"Carleton's Prize rises from the lake about three miles east of Valcour Island, just off Providence Island.  The rock received its named after being mistakenly bombarded by the British fleet under Sir Guy Carleton in search of Benedict Arnold's vessels in 1776."  :-D

Happy Mother's Day!

The Dr. is in !

Son*in*Maine formally accepts his Ph.D. today at NCSU!!! Check out where it's taking place:

Castle

There are a number of these little stone castles sprinkled around the islands of Lake Champlain!

Great Big Bunny

Mizzen

Mizzen has an "M" on her forehead.  She also has some orange tones in her colouring (see yesterday's photo).  She is a very sweet kitty and tends to follow.  A mizzen is a small sail at the back of a ship.

Spinnaker

Spinnaker has beautiful markings.  She is lively and at the forefront of whatever is going on.

A spinnaker is the big curving sail flown at the front of a sailboat to give it extra forward motion.

Baby Cats!!

The tabby is Mizzen and the calico is Spinnaker.  They are three and a half weeks old.
We have reserved them and will adopt them when they are 9 weeks old.  Visiting lots meanwhile! :-)
