Happy Pink Full Moon...

Happy Pink Full Moon...
.
"Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States."
.
"– Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."

LOVELY weekend.......

Father and son, chatting over the back fence, on a lovely Saturday morning...
.
Our grandson, the "squirrel whisperer"...  :-)   This baby squirrel became attached to him.  Crawling up to his shoulders and sitting there, watching the world go by.  When he put the baby squirrel down, it would follow him...

Later, the baby squirrel went to Animal Rescue. 

They already are trying to keep a nest of surviving baby rabbits safe.  Until it's silly mother, takes them away.  -sigh-

All this, with their own dog!!!!
.
I grabbed an iron rake, and dug/pulled up the matted dirt and weed roots, which were covering some of the bricks, on our old back patio!  You can see the process, in the above photo.
.
And here are results!  I have more to dig/pull up.  And need to sweep or hose the dirt away.  But this is an accomplishment!  Bringing our old patio bricks and rocks back out, into the sun!  :-)
.
Air War Games going on, again this morning.  Good thing!!!!  With all the provocation, we are getting, from our enemies!!!

Now, if only we had a Commander In Chief, who had the guts, to act like a man.  Instead of to just wander around, with his nose in the air, and his head, in the clouds.

Grrrrrr....
