Backyard Fun

So sorry for missing yesterday's blog post!

We hosted a little Fourth of July shindig at our house and the typical things were consumed: food, beer, snacks, more food, red meat, liquor, more beer, etc.

Oh and of course there was one giant mess to be cleaned. Not to mention that after all this, I still had to go to bed and wake up in time for work, hopefully with no hangover. Thankfully, this all worked out according to plan and I survived, feeling as wonderful as ever this morning.

So, between cleaning up, winding down from the days events, and cooking the roomies late night fried egg burgers (yes - when I am back east I will bring said technique with me...literally fried egg, easy medium or well done, on a burger...mmm), I crashed in my bed, hard. Hence, the lack of a blog post.

And as a result, here I am, trying to ramble on and make it up to you. Sadly, I realize I can't, so I guess I'll just post some more pictures that I took while playing out in the yard recently. Nothing too special, just the typical "oh look, flowers!" My green thumb has finally paid off.

Oh and fun fact about Los Angeles? Something that I didn't expect?

I should have known better, I feel like I've let Jack Hannah down...

We have black widows!

I discovered this guy - or I guess in this case, gal, in our back yard tonight.

No worries though - they aren't a threat to us really and with them being around the area, all hospitals are ready to treat any bites (which don't occur that much apparently).

Scary little shits...but damn cool at the same time.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
