Well, hello

So I've taken a few weeks off. We did a little traveling, which was lovely, and now we are back. It's still hot here and, for more fun, outside it's very hazy and smoky due to some swamp fires which are burning in NC. Swamp smoke. Lovely.

But we did venture out into the backyard for a bit and mostly managed to avoid the mosquitos.

 Lovely "housekeh", right? This is a word that spell check does not recognize, possibly because it isn't actually a real word.

She tends to turn and run as soon as she sees the camera coming her way. I am running out of creative ways to get her to look at me..

 Played a bit of hide-and-seek (she cheats!):

 Ready or not, here I come!!

Also, my photo was featured on Mortal Muses today. Love it when that happens. I am in the "life in black and white" photo pool featured photo as well as in the mosaic on the front page (the Chucks). 

TGIF! Have a wonderful weekend.
