Well, Well what do we have here?

The big stare-down again?

OK, who's going to flinch first?

Buddy I can see the mini-sandwich treats you put out for me so go back inside the house and let me get them.

You know what happens next?

My little buddy is now on the deck enjoying his treats!

A sneak attack? ... A quick full stretch and bingo he's got the prize. No that's not the end to this mornings story ... As quick as he appeared, he turned around and with his prize I heard him say "Hasta La Vista Baby" ... The end of my little morning's story.

Hi there,

Macro Mondays is a weekly theme-based challenge group. This week's challenge was "Knots." I created a simple knot to tie a few stems of baby's breath. HMM!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!
