Fun photos & a few bargains too!

Good evening! i sure hope you had a WONDERFUL holiday weekend! Ours was quite busy with local fireworks on Friday and more fireworks, down in town on Saturday and then a rock hounder's picnic on Sunday! and our week doesn't look to slow either! (sigh) Well, i am HAPPY to report that most of my hearing has come back from driving up and down this mountain!!! lol That's GREAT news since this week is already FULL!! This year we certainly did better on taking firework photos!! My method... let DH have a try at it!!! LOL He did much better than i! and it was FUN learning more about my little old camera!!
When i last shared photos, i showed a yard sale's garden of tall red flowers and told you i would be back to share mine!! it looks more orange than hers but it is at a different elevation, which may have something to do with it, or the fact that she had it directly in the ground and we have potted ours! ANYWAYSss, it looks LOVELY to me! :)

I am going cuckoo over yr bargains! All the RED especially! I just love it.

That baby peacock is amazing! I think it has a look in its eye like "I know I am a royal bird" and the little chicken just looks plain!!!

Well that is great news, about yr ear, I guess "popping" the ear going up and down the mountain helped it?!!! LOL -- oh my gosh, what a treatment!!! Better than having to go to a doctor!!!

The coyote is sad. I know people hate them but they are just trying to live too. I love to hear them yip at night, we have them here.

My Ella loved the baby chicks. I thought the puppies were pot bellied pigs at first! LOL! And I too love the red vase as it is beautiful! And the coyotes break my heart. People are ruthless and senseless and awful.

What a collection of photos for this post. :)
