A Second Photo of the day: May 26th
Of course, no day would be complete without the dog. Courage accompanied us on our Nature Center journey. Hot weather took it's toll on the lad, but nothing a long tongue and a huge yawn wont fix!

I know, I know. A week without a new image.
Moving on, last night, daughter No. 2 performed with her 3rd grade class as Ms. Frizzle, the energetic teacher from the Magic School Bus series. Everything went extremely well! The show was quite funny and our Ms. Frizzle put on a great performance with no signs of nervousness at all! She has one more performance tonight. Break a leg!

Ok, ok...enough of the dog! But I can't help it! This is Courage sending me off to work this morning. As I (or anyone else) drive, run or walk by, Courage chases us as far as the electric fence allows and then he does this bouncy, half circle at the end. It's a bad habit to encourage so when we're not home, he's confined to the back yard.
Bad news from the 5th grade election...after a good campaign, Daughter No. 1 did not get elected. She wasn't even allowed to wear the t-shirt I made her! She's tough though, and after a good cry and some comforting words, she's almost over it. We are very proud of her regardless., and I can't imagine what it must have felt like to delliver a speech in front of the entire school! Way to go, H!

Well, Daughter No. 1 is running for student body president this morning. She is supposed to give a campaign speech at 9:30 AM today, so last night I made her this T-shirt to wear during the speech. This is her and mom giving me the campaign strategy for the day. We should know the results either this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm really proud of her for taking this on!
Way to go!
Way to go!

Up the street from my office in Amberley Village is French park. This stately home and the surrounding 275 acres was bequeathed to the City of Cincinnati in 1943 by Herbert Greer French.
According to the Hamilton County Park District, a tornado riped through the park in 1969, destroying over 540 trees. Not sure how old this bent tree is, but I'm going to guess at least 50 years old.

Not the most flattering image of daughter No. 1, but hey, she's concentrating on my cell phone at the moment. The girls and I (less mom) are heading to the frame shop to have my wedding license framed nicely for Mother's Day. I almost threw it away last year! We also stopped at Big Lots and grabbed some funny Mom's day cards.

My Spring Grades!!

Sorry, no posts for a few days.
Ok, so just when you thought this place could not get any greener...behold! And with the green comes huge amounts of shade which is great for the hostas we planted this spring. We have one small spot in the front right corner of the yard that gets a decent amount of sunshine, and I can usually get a decent crop of tomatoes if the deer don't find them first! Last summer, almost every tomato had teeth marks in them.

Yep...this is about as exciting as images get! Just a car in the parking lot at work. And while this car looks innocent enough, the interior is trashed as is most of the body.
Anyway, last day o classes is today. All I need to do is get my final writing portfolio to the teacher, and i should score an "A". Suuwheeet!

Dad (me) and daughter No. 2 pose for a quick photo, taken by her sister. As you can see, the woods is in full green and the yard looks great. I ordered 4 yards of mulch this weekend and am about 1/2 done.
I've been on the morel mushroom hunting kick for some reason, haven't found anything yet, but I'm determined to find at least one before the season ends in mid May.
