Here are a few pictures I took recently.

We went on our hike near our home and the milkweed pods are beginning to burst and dry and the last of the years flowers are fading.  I finally remembered to bring my camera and snapped a picture of these blooming thistles.  I just love these flowers.  We've seen quite a few deer but I'm not quick enough to get a picture of them.

Dave's family threw a bridal shower for me this last weekend.  We played games, had a wonderful luncheon and I received many beautiful gifts.  One of my favorite things was also the simplest!  Dave's sister has chickens and she gave us a dozen beautiful brown and white eggs.  We had eggs benedict for supper that night.
