Missing Hamster

Murphy, our little Chinese dwarf hamster, went missing last night. She was exploring on the computer desk, when all of a sudden I realized I couldn't see her anymore. After 10 frantic minutes of looking, I found her in this little squashy place (I have no idea what it's for) that I didn't think even she could fit into. As you can see from the picture, even she was moving around chin to the ground. I gave her some seeds, and she seemed content to spend the night in there, so we had to flush her out with a pen.

Peas!!!

This is the first bowlful of peas from our garden. Aren't they pretty? And so delicious!

Double Rainbow!

This is a double rainbow that I saw one evening after work. Isn't it pretty?

Skeet on the Pillow

Skeet loves my pillow, and he'll prop his head and shoulders on it like a little person. In the winter, you see him curled up in a little ball, but it's summer now, so you get all the weird poses... I'm entering this picture in this contest. You should check it out, and enter some pictures yourself!

My Roses

Last summer we weren't in the front part of the house, so we weren't in charge of the roses. The people who lived there chopped the roses to the ground every couple of weeks because they didn't want the bugs that were attracted to the flowers, so this year the poor little things took weeks longer to even show any leaves. While other people's roses were these huge bushes full of blooming roses, my little bushes finally decided that it was safe to come out. Here's some pictures after they started to bloom. Two of the little bushes, though, still haven't bloomed yet. They've had buds for days, but it seems that they're still too scared that they'll get hacked off.
