First, can’t help shooting the yard again.  This is SO May. Magic.  People with diaphanous robes and flowers in their hair play here before we get up and after we fall asleep.  Also skunks do. Shadows JUST LIKE SUMMER.  Except … Continue reading →

~:: Grand Kids ::~

Posted on April 12, 2011 by K

Still part of the visit: Aunt Chaz meeting the Grand Sand. They seem to like each other, eh? (Low light.  It’s low light.  And they wouldn’t hold still.) Not sure what they might have been discussing.  Whatever it was, they … Continue reading →
