ok..so more random..

Yes, today was long.  The longest day of  the year..and long because I'm excited for tomorrow..

Kinda like the first day of school...well..without the pink sponge rollers.

..or the new #2 pencils..the blister-producing new shoes..

anyway...tomorrow is our first annual { yes, I have decided..}Gathering of the Blogging Buddies lunch at Archibald's in the beautiful Gardner Village..


It will be "Breezy", "Life in Red Shoes", "All My Memories" , "Arizona Photos" , "CATIZ4PAWPAW". and of course, "Main Street Memories".

...oh and I am sooo mad!  I am trying to invite "Melinda's Fabric & Fancies" and "Random Musings From My Point of View"..but blogger is doing that thing again where, after I comment, it loops forever and brings me back..and won't let me comment!!  Grr...!

And because I don't have your emails, if you are reading this and can make it at 12:30, tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22nd...Please do!!!

Then, I woke up cranky this morning ..no, not Mr. B..silly..I was cranky.

Well, until our walk when we turned the last corner and I spotted something out of the corner of my eye..at the corner of a building..

One pretty quail....and 6 (!) little quail-ettes!! They were sooo little..and kind of  running in a million different directions..I wanted to run to get my camera..but they wouldn't have waited..

{this is not them..but look at all those little left-legs..in the air..at the same time!!}
But you know..."I" saw them and they made MY day better :-)

{also not mine...but, awww..}
So, be sure to look around every corner...and be expecting bunches of little-feathered-love!


...so, plan on joining us next year for the Second Annual Gathering of the Blogging Buddies...Utah style!
