The bees love my basil. Thankfully they spend the entire day there, and don't mind when I pick around them. Kevin took these pics, and I think they are pretty cool. I like their buggy eyes.The kittens have opened their eyes. Mother of the year, Mrs. Pacman, abandoned them today. While she ran the streets the 4 babes cried. It kind of got on my nerves. She finally came back this evening and nursed them. She will walk on them to get to us. They scream as she is stepping on them. You can see how she got her nickname.
Ralphie, our new dog, has adjusted to our schedule. He is a fun dog for the kids. He tolerates a great deal of toddler abuse.
The kitchen cabinet doors and drawers have yet to be put back on. I plan on doing that some time this weekend. I am going to put a layer of polyacrylic on it first. If you use latex paint you should go with a polyacrylic. There are many good things about going with latex instead of enamel.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy Friday! Those pictures are very good!
I like the bumble bee photos, as well as the veggie smile face you made with your garden's bounty!
We had a bug I couldn't identify in the backyard recently. Then yesterday Amelie and I stopped at a fav playground -- the nearby preschool where both my big kids went & we hope to let her go a year from now. The custodian came out & visited with us a bit, as the preschool is not in session & it's not very common to have kiddos on the playground right now. He said that many parents are scared away by the hornets that they have. In five years of going there, I'd never noticed there being hornets, but they were hovering quite a bit at that moment. so I learned what a real hornet looks like & have mixed feelings about knowing there is at least one in our backyard. Mr. Elbert said that the hornets (at least the variety that live at the playground) won't sting unless you threaten the queen who lives underground. So perhaps we have a queen nearby? And so I told my kids not to dig in the ground -- just to stick to the sandbox! Maybe I can snap a photo of it or of some hornets soon. They seemed so much longer than bees & yellow jackets & wasps to me!
all those bugs scare me! we had a hornet's nest early in the summer and it was horrible. i couldn't wait until kevin got rid of it! i didn't help at all! i am a wimp when it comes to those things!
