Some hoppin grass hoppers

Just for giggles:

These are some hoppers of grass having a time on my patio furniture. It was really quite impressive actually. Our lady of the afternoon only had one back leg and was still able to hop with glory. Oh how the circle of life finds its way .... glorious.





PS There is a bit of humpin going on in this insect world. MM CHIK AH CHIK-A-MMM

Puppy Party

More back-tracking.

Sept 22 was Costello's Birthday. 3yrs old and still the best Pu ever. (21 in dog years). We had a small grill out. Hotdogs and the like with all the fixins. Brownies for the people and one fine cake for the canine party goers.



The yummy cake: Liver with peanut butter "icing"



Me and my special birthday boy.

Babies all around. (Catch up)

A bit of blog catching up.

My friend Liz from undergrad is full on prego and due in Nov. My friend K and I threw her a shower back in Sept to celebrate the occasion. This was complete with a full spread of food and yummy chocolate fountain. There were of course NO baby games.

(I do not believe in melting candy bars in diapers and smelling them, eating baby food and guessing the substance, or embarrassing a mother to be by measuring string)

One "game" was played but it was not of the listed variety. The shower had a "princess" theme and as guests arrived were pinned an identity to their back. Throughout the shower each person was to ask others yes or no questions to determine what "princess" they were. The end.

All in all I deamed the event a big success.



There was also a bit of "dress-up" to be had. Tiaras required.
