What I would love to do...

 Have you seen those big metal roosters for yards? Ones similar to THIS?  the ones I see are between 3 and 4 ft tall.  I wish I knew someone that had one I could borrow and put in the back yard.  I would dearly love to see Copper's reaction to one.  I really do not know what he would do, but I bet it would be fun to watch.

This morn he found a nest of baby rabbits right at the corner of the patio in under a clump of daisies.  They were not baby babies...he does not have the instinct to kill that Delta did and pokes at them to get a reaction.  Rachel put him back inside and they hopped out of the yard.  But they were still little...mabye 5 or 6 inches long!

Another shot of one of the begonias...

 We wondered why some have the single layer of petals and the others multiple layers?

It is raining here....had been raining since around 10:30 this morn.  But it sounds like it is raining heavier now. 

I ran to Walmart before the rain really started...it was misting a bit and by the time I got home starting to actually sprinkle.  I went upstairs to vacuum before I brought Copper up.  He does not like vacuum cleaners, among other things.  And paces and paces if I vacuum when he is near.  So, I thought I would just leave him in his 'room'

By the time I got him up, it was raining...he had to go out.  And of all times he just took his time.  Came in pretty wet.  We keep towels hanging by the door just for him.  So dried him down as best I could.  He enjoys the drying process....LOL  Needless to say, I did not choose to stay outside any extra this day....on sunny days we both like to go outside...he to sunbathe and me just to enjoy being outside and maybe reading a little.

Yesterday I cut pieces of the little blocks and made 10...I started sewing more today but I was just chain piecing and only got one step made for about a dozen more blocks.

Sunday coming to an end...

 Just had to show a blossom from the hanging baskets the girls got me.  I have always loved begonias.  I told my daughter she would have to help me keep them growing.  I am not always so good at flowers in planters these past few years.

I hope you have all had a good day, a wonderful Mother's  Day.  It was good seeing the kids...Lorelei and her mom had had a cold...Lorelei got over hers easily, but Sarah was a bit slower.  She was fine today as far as that goes.

The daughter I lived with made this Honey Dijon chicken...I think she tried the recipe the first time after we moved here.  It is delicious.  I am thankful to have both daughters that like to try new recipes...they both come up with some good ones.  I have tried glancing for the recipe and don't see the one she uses.  I suppose any of them would work.  The chicken fixed like this also warms up an is just as good as when it was first made.

That is about all I have for right now...
