It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

It's funny, but I was thinking it was a beautiful day today (albeit a tad on the warm side) and Mr Roger's theme song popped into my head. That happens to me sometimes. A phrase will come to mind, and it's been in a song somewhere. I looked at the clouds earlier today, and started singing Both Sides Now: the verse about clouds. Hopefully I sang it well, but I rather doubt it. My husband was silent. He's used to me singing everything. I used to embarass my girls singing in Wal Mart.

I had the thought to take a few flower pics this afternoon, but I wanted the lighting to tone down a bit first. Then I waited a little longer than I anticipated and thought perhaps I'd waited a bit to long, but still got a few decent shots. I hope you enjoy the results :)






Oh, this guy was extraordinarily noisy, as jays often are:



And this is the neighbor cat, Ricky, although I'm quite sure for many years he has been certain that we are really the intruders, and the place is his.



P.S. Keep looking up at the clouds, but don't forget to stop and smell the roses once in a while. :)
