Fun Friends visiting...

Jeff & I are enjoying ourselves at home this weekend, just relaxing and having a low-key time… yes, of course we went to church this morning… and tonight we're going to enjoy a free concert with one of our favorite bands (John Phillip Sousa Memorial Band) at Como Park in St Paul… but otherwise we're being homebodies… catching a little of the Olympics from time to time… but spending a lot of time on the deck & front porch just enjoying the picture-perfect weather we're having… it feels so good to sit outside on a beautiful day!!

We were basically keeping to ourselves, but we had some guests drop by… the first one dropped by Saturday afternoon just as Jeff was getting the slow-cooking grill ready to cook up some of his fabulous ribs…

He wasn't wanting to share our dinner, and he was kinda cute, so we didn't mind too much, but…

He was perched on the very grill Jeff was trying to use, so we had to ask him to leave… we didn't want to inadvertently cook our guest!!

The next guests were around all weekend… and we were able to watch them from our lunchtime spot on the front porch… this Chickadee joined us for drinks (non-alcoholic of course) & for a meal… many other birds joined us as well, but we just sat & watched & didn't try to take pics… we also had visiting squirrels, one was a little red squirrel that was chasing off all his larger gray cousins… and we had our regular bunny as well - he's got a funny growth so we know its the one that's always here in the yard…

Then there was the special guest who dropped by on Sunday, I guess you could say he was a bit of a guest of honor, he was the guest that got me very excited… I asked nicely & he let me take his picture… but you'll have to go see him on my gardening blog… follow this link to see who was my Mystery Guest!  This isn't just a tease, trust me, its worth your time to follow the link…
