Mason scares Mom...

I had just a couple minutes before work so Granny and I went out to check out the plants.  There was a late frost and lots of rain this spring so some stuff is just not doing well.... :(

Mason followed us to the back rock garden.  Mom and Chris had just cleaned out the fountain pond and filled it earlier in the day.  I was snapping a few pics and I heard Mom say, "Mason don't play in the water".  Neither Granny or I could see Mason...  I wondered why she said that, then I thought... "Didn't I just hear a splash?"  I peaked around a rock to look at the little, but deep pond... I seen nothing.  I kept looking though because I didn't see Peanut Brittle either.  All of a sudden he came shooting to the surface...  I seen wet, red curls over the rock wall.  Yikes!  Heart rate=200MPH!

Well, no serious harm done.  I found out I can still move lickety split ("if i hafta...")  But the water was fresh and therefore COLD!  Mason was scared, stunned, and coughing/crying.  I lifted him out and carried him away dripping wet (despite my clean scrubs) and as we walked by the pond he says, "Dat... No!  No!"   Think he learned?

There was a frog in the pond who might be missing his company...

How many frogs can you find?

On a different note...  Chris has spent many many many many many (I could go on) hours redoing the lawn tractor.  He straightened out some dents, sanded off some rust, replaced some parts, and repainted it... and whatever else guys do with stuff...  It looks great!!!  Good job Babe!

And then there is the plants I was checking before Mason scared the tar out of me.  Meet my latest additions.  I can't wait to see them when they get bigger....  Ahhh!  I LOVE plants hostas!
