I never knew that the shelters had a special date for the unknown birthdays. How awesome is that! Thanks for the beautiful shots of your kitties. They make me "almost" want to get another cat.

Awesome shots around the city. Love the two kids on the building, dang impressive!

Cute geckos. Maybe the sparrow tried to catch him and bit off his tail, lol.

Nice murals, Abi. I especially like the cheetah.

Nice photo of the deer; they look like they are keeping an eye on someone, lol.

Here is my entry for this free round @nelinoeva

Nope, I've never seen her bark at her shadow.

Thank you!

Hi Melinda, here is my entry for this week's contest.

Oh my goodness, I feel for you. That is a lot to get done. I hope it doesn't wear you out too much.

I would agree; strong colors usually close in a space. Glad you made the choice you did; it looks fab!

I love the chipmunk just hanging out in the rose; how cute is that! You seem to be making good progress with all the different gardens. I bet you're glad for that.

Ha, your chipmunk stayed for a photo shoot! Funny how they do some odd things sometimes. Mika was so excited to have treed that poor little guy.

Yes, she was very tired chasing the squirrels and that poor chipmunk, @kellyane.

Nice haul on the free goodies. Love the barn photo!

Dijon is definitely one mustard I will do for sure. I'm going to baste pork chops tonight with the raspberry mustard. I think that would be a good combo.

That is a great idea for your vines, and it looks nice too!

My goodness, what a fabulous tile for the backsplash. It looks amazing, and it sure does make your kitchen look so modern and bright. Congrats to you both on doing such a great job. Love it!

Aw, the cherry tree is making room for an apple tree. How perfect is that timing? Apple bread and crisps are my hubby's favs.

The apple bread is so good, you don't want to stop at one slice, lol.
