are those legs...

I did a double-take today as I was going by my neighbor's car-- because I only saw a pair of legs hanging out
of the open trunk.  Naturally I was a bit concerned and stopped over to make sure things were okay!  Turned out he was laying in the trunk to install some sort of sound-proofing insulation... I told him it was a pretty funny site to go by and just see his legs sticking out of the trunk and I felt I should check it out and make sure the rest of him was there too!

signs

Signs you're at an ag school... I'm walking to campus to meet my husband and he calls and asks where I am...
"I don't know (glancing toward the upcoming intersection) but I smell horse manure"...
"Oh, okay you're at Pammel and Stange (streets)."(knowing the intersection)...

Hopping contest:

Caught the "tail" end of the regional Rabbit-Hopping competition in nearby Nevada, IA.  Winner (pictured
here) will go on to the Story County Fair & county-wide HOPPING COMPETITION.
The event is open to all 4-H kids and an open class option will also be available. The straight course and crooked courses have beginner to advanced levels. There will also be a long jump and high jump. Cost will be $2 per course per rabbit.

RABBIT HOPPING competition.  I mean how awesome is that.  These are some BIG bunnies, by the way.
Seriously, they are about the size of a small cat.

status...

Still no birds in the new location.  Bird seed has blown around a lot though.  So probably lots of birds on
the ground under the window are happy about this.  Mushrooms are growing really well, though kind of freakish looking.  Other plants = fail.

bird

Changed the location of the bird feeder.  Let's see if that attracts more (any) visitors. 
Had strange dreams last night... I was talking to Sara about the show 6 Feet Under...how weird,
I haven't watched that in years.  Also that I was taking a test with all those multiple choice bubbles to fill in.
