TypePadSo much to dotag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341cb9e053ef01676233a2ef970b2012-02-12T09:15:50-06:002012-02-12T09:13:48-06:00This time of year there seems to be something going on every weekend. One just has to decide what direction to go or how far they want to drive. For example, today is the 5th Annual Atenas Charity Chili Cook-off. We attended both the first and second events but haven't...JenZnewlifeSummer clean-uptag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341cb9e053ef016761b98b7d970b2012-02-11T15:59:23-06:002012-02-11T15:59:23-06:00Yep, it's that time of year again.

We've seen them take naps on the banana racks to make sure no one else gets any. An emerald toucanette has come to visit a couple of times in the past week. It seems this guy/gal is without a mate. We usually see...JenZnewlifeColor my worldtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341cb9e053ef016762079324970b2012-02-09T05:58:59-06:002012-02-09T05:58:59-06:00I was watering the yard late yesterday afternoon when my daughter yelled out the window for me to look up.
