for the weekend


It's the weekend! 
And a busy one already... but thankfully, it has rained and cooled things off a bit...
and there are movies to watch from Netflix.

Yesterday I had a great time visiting with some friends of mine; 
and they happen to have some pretty amazing gardens, so as I was walking around
we found these awesome dudes.

Read more about them here
and how you can help them here, here, and here.
