So cute... I had one of those wooden sandals when I was little. My day brought me one when He went to Japan. I think I also have one of those costume.. or was it a Vietnamese costume.. sorry I wasn't sure. It was indeed a long time ago.

Oh wow. Shades of my father. I have three that go back over 50 years, gifts from my dad when he returned from trips overseas. Love these dolls and the memories they engender.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
