Lurking

Peek-a-boo

Not so green fingers

 

What tiny vegetables! It was a sad harvest, and the heat wave in the two weeks we were home certainly did not help. I better keep my day job as a grad student instead of being a farmer. Coming up soon, lonely zucchini and maybe one good red pepper.

In the viewfinder

I like the mocking bird, although sometimes I feel that it is calling me all sorts of names...

Thank you!!!

Super cute!

Thank you Dawn, Ian and Auntie Dell for the wonderful presents and birthday wishes! :) Hoots! I like them all :))

Exam

The exam has been set in early Sept. Right now it is tough to stop doing the experiments and concentrate on reading and writing the proposal, but it has to be done. I am thankful to have the Husby and friends who have been very supportive. As always I am whining and being distracted by a thousand other things (admiring the frogs in the study!)  instead of putting my mind to studying. It is always tough getting started.

So in case you don't see me much it might be because I am trying very hard not to surf at night... Soon, it will be over! :)

Breakfast

my current favorite for breakfast- no cooking needed if i am lazy, just leave the oats and milk overnight and pile on the rest! :)

The new frog

Wind-up froggie meets the clan, he is really cute and we love the way he hops. Thanks Dawn, this is most awesome ever but shhh, don't tell the other frogs...

It didn't take too long for someone to say I challenge you!

That's why they have two ears

Can't remember if I blog about this, but squirrel cat has a tough job!

Its a fishy business

These are the types of things I spend a lot of my time doing. Making fish pose and taking photos. What good is it to do the experiment and not be able to take good photos right? Sometimes the adult fish get infections and fall sick, and much of my time is also spent on the babies, feeding them with paramecium and brine shrimps (ie sea monkeys!).

So why are the fish always happy to SEE me? Because I am a monkey (SEE monkey!) Okay I better stop now, the husby says I am corny and I ate four grilled corns already...

4th of July

Happy birthday to the 4th of July baby!

Everyone around here has a birthday tied to a holiday. Barne's birthday was on memorial day, and I baked him a cake, but I also ate it all up without taking a photo or sharing with him :p

No tripod! the Husby has steady hands I say!

We were all busy with work but came out onto the lawn at 9pm to watch the fireworks. Now we know that they do this every year, its great not to have to go to the Harbor to watch the fireworks and deal with these!
