Ozzy & The Crow

This guy sat in this tree for the longest time while Ozzy went crazy barking at him. I was getting dinner ready and knew that by the time I went and got my camera he'd be gone but no, he still hung around as I finished what I was doing...so then I went downstairs, got my camera and this is when he decided to fly away, of course!

Goodbye Mr. Crow!

"Bon Voyage Mr. Crow" says Oz!

Willy Nilly Friday 5 No. 16 - On Read Mountain Rd

click on photo to enlarge
Read Mountain Road, Cloverdale

There used to be a real pretty old house that sat on this piece of property. It was big and kind of in the same state of disrepair as this building. I always loved it though and would admire it when I drove by. I always meant to stop and take a picture. Then one day, about a year ago, I noticed activity going on around the old house and thought "yay, someone is going to fix her up"...then she was torn down...so, a couple of days ago while driving past, I made myself pull over and get a picture of this place and the barn, before they are both gone.

Now it's Willy Nilly time:

1) Did you know that someone is rebuilding the Gone With The Wind house? Yup, it's true...read about it HERE

2) Do you have a hard to shop for person on your Christmas list? I'm sure you can find something for them in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book ...that Vanity Fair Academy Awards Experience would be a wonderful gift, just putting that out there ;)

3) I love street portraits...here are some great ones Meet Harlem's Official Street Photographer

4) Did you hear about the Canadian teen that was bullied? Read about the positive way she handled it Right Here

5) Some of you might know that our Ozzy is a Rottweiler. We've owned the Rottie breed for about 25 years now. I started this blog when we had Crockett and you have probably already seen photos of Ozzy on here, or been on his blog! Anyways, Rottweilers are such a terrific breed, very loyal, very gentle, and very smart! There's a documentary that was recently made about this amazing breed and I can't wait to see it. I wanted to share the trailer with you :)

Our Ozzy sleeps in the boys room. He takes turns from Braden's bed to Dalton's bed and is very protective of his brothers!

Well that's my 5 for the week and now it's your turn! Post 5 random "willy nilly" things and link back to me. Visit other Willy Nilly participants and have fun! Have a great weekend too!!

Willy Nilly Friday 5 Number 7 @ Smart View Picnic Area

(click on photo to enlarge)
This is where we picnicked when we were at Smart View on Sunday. (See yesterday's post). We brought along a big old turkey sub sandwich, some chips and cookies. There is a picnic shelter with picnic tables. Every time I say picnic, I want to sound it out like pic-a-nick as in Yogi "Hey Boo-Boo, I see a pic-a-nick basket" :) ....anyhoo....now on to some random 5's!

1) Would you stay in THIS hotel? I love scary things but I wonder if I would be too chicken? Probably!

2) School starts for the kids on Tuesday...boo....some of you might know I work part time in the cafeteria, yes, I'm a "lunch lady" lol...so I've already put in 2 days this week. A few hours to get the kitchen ready, a couple hours for a safety meeting, then Monday I was volunteered to work 9th grade orientation and then it's back to school for real on Tuesday. Funny, I was a stay at home mom for so many years, up until Braden and Dalton started 1st grade, that's when I started working in the school. It's nice have a routine.

3) Ashlyn heads off to college in a little more than a week. It doesn't seem real. She's been local, going to community college here but now she'll be almost 2 hours away. I told her I won't cry. She said I will.

4) We watched Divergent this week. It was really good. I like Ashley Judd and you know something weird? A couple of weeks ago Nick and I watched Kiss The Girls on tv, with Ashley Judd. There was a guy trying to kill her. The guy who tried to kill her on Kiss The Girls plays her husband on Divergent! How strange right?!

5) Have you seen this:

Haha...Ash and I tried with Ozzy. I gave him a shower 2 days ago and this time Ash wanted to record him. He did much better the second time around. I think he actually liked it. I'll see if I can piece it together to share with you next week!

Have a great weekend!! Now it's your turn!

July Theme Day - Celebrating Summer

“Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

The theme for the City Daily Photo group is "Celebrating Summer"...we spend so many days of our summer chillin' on the creek. Here the boys and Ozzy are taking a break after a long crawdad hunt.

Willy Nilly Friday 5 #1 - Anniversary Park

(click on photo to enlarge)
Anniversary Park, Williamsburg

If you remember the reason we were in Williamsburg/Jamestown/Yorktown a couple of weeks ago was so Nick could participate in the triathlon. First leg is a swim in the James River. He's one of those guys in the red caps. First group, green caps which are made up of military and younger guys, are just ahead, already swimming.

So now for some Friday 5's:

1) On Wednesday I took the boys to see the Lego movie. It was really cute. We laughed a lot. Regal Cinema has a summer movie special for kids. For the list CLICK HERE

2) This guy proves that there are people out there who care

3) I came up with a great idea (for me) to store recipes in Pinterest for my weekly menu. I make a new board each week labeled "Menu for the week of month/date" and new recipes I want to try out from the internet, I just pin to that folder. In the past when I want to try a new recipe, I would forget where I found it. Now it's tucked right there in my menu board!

4) Want to see some pretty pictures: CLICK HERE to see Bing's Photo of the Day Gallery.

“I like dogs
Big dogs
Little dogs
Fat dogs
Doggy dogs
Old dogs
Puppy dogs
I like dogs
A dog that is barking over the hill
A dog that is dreaming very still
A dog that is running wherever he will
I like dogs.”
― Margaret Wise Brown, The Friendly Book

Now it's your turn! Make a short list of 5 things on your mind, or long list, which ever, then link back to Willy Nilly Friday 5! Don't forget to add your link here so we can visit you! Happy Friday :)

Ruby Tuesday - Ozzy and Snow

(click on photo to enlarge)

Ozzy spies something "ruby" in the snow. I don't know what that is....looks like someone forgot their jacket. I've kinda got snow burnout. Today is supposed to warm up to nearly 60. I can't imagine the mess of mud that awaits under this heap of snow though! The boys have a basketball game tonight. It will be exciting to say the least. The last time we played this team, it got kind of heated. I will behave though and just take pics ;)
