Kayaking

Went Kayaking with my mom last week. Such a beautiful morning.
We're going again tomorrow morning. I can't wait!!
(These shots taken with a point and shoot camera...a little too wet to take my good camera! LOL)

Our Feathered Neighbor

This turkey has been hanging out in our yard for the better part of a month. She tends to like the left over parrotlet food I toss in the yard every morning.
It took a long time for her to trust us...when I'd walk to a window to see her, she'd take off. Now, she knows we won't get her through the windows, and even stayed in the back part of the yard when I went out with the dog earlier today.
Such an interesting neighbor.

Cooper, the kitten has settled in nicely
Cooper

He still has a bit of wild child in him...he's a hider...but will come for pets and cuddles with my mom. And watch your toes as you walk by the couch...luckily, he keeps his claws in.

And because I can't leave Cletus out...here's an old favorite of him (I didn't get anything new when I was there)
