More balance

  Wanted to share more of our balanced pack. The cats are in the pack also. They think they are dogs and the dogs don't mind.

Sometimes they drive me crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way.
  We went to the spring opening of our "local" drive in a couple of weeks ago. A double feature that we actually wanted to see.. most of the time the movies they play are not something we would actually pay to see. lol More family stuff with animation. I'm, for the most part, not into cartoons. Once in a great while,, maybe. The theater is actually around 26 miles from home but when you live in a small rural county that's how it works. No big deal but for old folks with bad backs the round trip and sitting for another 4 hrs can be rather trying. Just have to get work done first so you can re coup the next day lol . And 2 movies for $7 a head is just not bad at all. You can take your own snacks but the theater actually makes their money on the concession stand. There is a playground to entertain the kids with before the movie starts that includes swing set, volleyball, basket ball goal,slide etc.  You are even allowed to take a small BBQ grill as long as you are done before the movies start. They provide a place to put the hot coals! Just make sure you have a fm radio in your car so you can have sound. Pretty nice set up if you ask me.

  Another form of entertainment for country folks is the plain ol' campfire. Nothing beats a nice campfire in your own backyard to enjoy the simple sounds of an almost summer night. Just perfect!
Watch the night sky come up and enjoy the sounds of the horses, cows, coyotes and owls. Throw in a sound or two of chickens and night birds singing to top it off. Not forgetting that to be able to share it with a loved one makes it more special.

  We have a new type oriole in the yard this year. It's an orchard oriole instead of a northern oriole. Kinda cool to add a new bird to our visitors!

Handsome little guy, isn't he? I haven't seen our northern oriole visitor yet this year but I'm sure they will be around soon. We did however lose one of their nests in a wind storm. Leaves us two in the walnut tree. The hummers are back also. Have only seen a couple, may be the scout for the rest. Not sure, we normally don't have many stop here. I keep feeders out but they mostly eat from our flowers etc. ...
  Had a wonderful day outside working in the yard. Just piddlin'. Almost bedtime now so will close.
Have a diamond day!
