James holding Little Miss Buzz Saw



Jon holding Mr. Buttercup (Isn't he huge!)

The children have really enjoyed the cats this
week. They don't have any pets right now, so their
getting their fill.
The other day I stopped my lawn mowing in time to look
up and see Cozy holding a duck around the neck with both
hands just walking down the path . I put the duck back in its pen
and locked the door. Cozy (3) was so mad she stomped her
foot and then tried to get her brother to open the door. So then their
mom finds James standing on a stump he'd rolled over trying to
unhook the lock , but, he still couldn't reach it.
We've had a great week just hanging out together, eating good food, sewing
gardening. How can you not love a
daughter that helps you weed!



Cozy's worm family. We found lots of worms that
day gardening.

    A lot less frightening than your last post. Tabby's have always been my favourites.

    A bet the cats loved being spoilt by the children too. Not so sure whether the duckie enjoyed it too much though :0) Linda good job you were on hand to rescue it or might have been roast duck for dinner.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.
