Last week was our pet hedgehog’s birthday.
Happy 6th Birthday, Daisy! We think you are absolutely beautiful with all your little spikes.

Around sundown, toads can be found all over my yard. This little fellow was hiding in my vegetable garden.

Oklahoma City Zoo
Over spring break, my family and I went to the zoo. Being a first grade teacher, I go once a year with my students at school but the rest of my gang hadn’t been in a number of years. It was super crowded because of spring break but it was a beautiful day. Here are few of our favorites of the day:
My daughter has a fascination with owls so here is her favorite.

I love looking at the snakes. My grandpa taught me to appreciate snakes when I was young. He taught me which were harmless and which were harmful (poisonous as well as harmful to his farm).

Because my hubby is a party pooper and didn’t have a favorite, I’m picking another of my favorites. I also love the lizards. Can you tell I was a tomboy growing up? I’ve caught my share of lizards and snakes. lol


My son said his favorites were all the monkeys, apes, orangutans, etc. Here’s a couple of shots for him.

The bunnies are back and man have they grown. They are just as cute as ever too. They are ten days old, their eyes are open and they can hear now.
1 day old

10 days old

1 day old white bunny

10 day old white bunny

1 day – all three

10 days – all three

And just because they were too cute not to share.
