HUMMMMMMMMMM

 

 

Friends!

Our friends, Susan and Celeste (I have know Susan since college!!) sold everything and in February of this year started a tour across America.  Memorial Day weekend found them in Ohio!  We were honored they chose to stop and see us on this adventure and I had grand plans for a busy weekend showing them the sites and scenes of our new home – but, both Susan’s ended up being sick.  The best-laid plans…..still, we had a great time hanging, visiting, playing with Dakota, eating, celebrating missed birthdays and one short adventure into the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  There they saw the heronry and we all did a short hike on the Towpath trail. Me thinks after 3 months on the road a few down days at Casa Connelly were just what the doctor ordered.  Check out their blog at www.avueacrossamerica.blogspot.com  Thanks for the great pictures, Celeste!

They enjoyed our many hummingbirds!

Our lop-sided but delicious birthday cake!

In an earlier blog I reported on visiting the heronry in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  Then we watched the Great blues make their nests, do courtship dances and settle in to raise a family.  60 days later – note the fledglings in the lower right corner.

We titled this one “Waitin’ on a Woman”!

Susan and Celeste plant sunflower seeds at all the places they visit!

Thanks for stopping to see us!  We look forward to following you around the country and maybe I will see you in  Alaska in September!! Safe travels!

PLAY BALL!

Got it!

Water fetch!

Note the wake – her body is half out of the water when she swims for the ball!  Wish my shoulders were that strong!

Not so fast coming back!

Beautiful Dakota Kate!
