A few friends from book club got together and we spent a couple of fun days at the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City. We had a great time! The plays were wonderful and the company delightful ~ it was a great summer getaway!

Here we all are outside the replica of the Globe Theater. The Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City has been going for 48 years . . . I've just been a couple of times in the last few years - but it is always well worth the time and money to go! They also have a Neil Simon Festival going in Cedar City and we went to see "Harvey" - it was delightfully funny. The Hertiage Center is a beautiful theater, but instead of sitting in the normal seats in the auditorium, they had placed the seating right on the stage - so we were only a few feet from the actors - it was terrific to have such a close view of what was going on, their facial expressions, etc . . .we really enjoyed that new experience and will go again!
We topped off our two days with a dinner at the Garden House Restaurant in Cedar City, and it is highly recommended! The food was delicious~!

I was walking by our living room window the other day and I saw these large ears sticking up above the Myrtle Vines in the front yard . . . I went out to discover this lovely fawn - he was only a few days old and was not afraid of me at all.
For Mother's Day, Ray gave me this new bird bath, which we have placed on our back deck, just outside the dining room window. We have enjoyed watching the birds come and play~ they will flick the water all over and splash like children in a pool.
Our hummingbird feeder is like an international airport - they zoom in and out so quickly, it is hard to get a good photo of them, but we have counted thirteen out on holding patterns while they wait their turn to come in and sip. Filling our two feeders is a daily task!
