Early one morning last week we had a couple of visitors.  Surprisingly Desi and Lucy didn't notice these two hanging out on the fence, and in the garden.  I think they were picking bugs out of the garden for breakfast.  I was able to snap a couple of pictures of the 2 American Goldfinch that hung around for a while.

From Wikipedia:

The American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), also known as the Eastern Goldfinch and Wild Canary, is a small North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from mid-Alberta to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter.

The only finch in its subfamily which undergoes a complete molt, the American Goldfinch displays sexual dimorphism in its coloration; the male is a vibrant yellow in the summer and an olive color during the winter months, while the female is a dull yellow-brown shade which brightens only slightly during the summer. The male displays brightly colored plumage during the breeding season to attract a mate.

On Sunday we decided to head over to the Lia Collision Center car show.  The show had a few hundred cars entered, and a really nice variety of cars to see.  The show was to benefit the wounded warriors project, so it was all for a good cause.  I have uploaded a bunch of pics to the 2011 Lia Car Show Album in the Gallery.  Here are just a few highlights.  Enjoy!

This weekend a lot of the family got together at Thacher's Park for a little family reunion.  It was so good to see everyone, a great time was had by all.

  Hopefully this is one tradition we will continue for years to come.

Brenda took a lot of  great pictures, I am have posted a few below, the rest will be in the 2011 Family Reunion Album of the Gallery. Deb has added her pictures to Facebook, which I will try to add to the Gallery as well.  If anyone else has pictures that they want me to add, please send them.  enjoy!

Well, it's been a while since my last post.  Summer is officially here.  It's 4th of July weekend.  The water is back to normal levels, and we have started to repair the damage from the flooding.  Matthew and Kiana both graduated from high school last weekend, our driveway at home is finally useable.  The roadster is running well, and the sun is shinning.  All in all, life is good.
 

I have tons of pictures that I haven't downloaded from the camera, maybe someday soon I will get caught up on that stuff, and start posting more regularly here... Maybe.
