Memorial Day 2009 ::

Thinking of those who served!

Friday Kittenblogging ::

And other things on a Saturday evening. Here are the 2 kittens I have left although it's now time to find them good homes. They're at that terminally cute stage where they're just now finding their personalities!



I was finally able to cut my entire yard today before the drizzles moved back in. This is the first time the yard has been totally dry since before Christmas! I cut about 1 1/2 acres with a bit more than that left to grow as it pleases in blackberry bushes so I ride the Snapper for several hours each weekend although I must say that I generally find cutting the grass to be relaxing.

I'm sitting out on the back porch listening to some music as I write this post and the hummingbirds are flying all around me. Life is good!

Thunder Storm ::

Passed through yesterday morning along with lightening. As thunder storms go around here this one was pretty mild, but my wiring got zapped by lightening with the result that my desktop computer is dead. I put a new power supply in it, but it still will not start which probably means the motherboard is dead. I was thinking about building a new computer anyway, so this will give me that nudge forward. I'll still fix this one and then pass it on to Taylor since she has my old PIII box and it is definitely getting old.



This is an older photograph of Taylor, but it's still one of my favorites!

My Baby Birds ::

Pictured down below flew today. I checked the nest Sunday and knew that it would not be long. There's another nest on the back porch, but it's situated where I cannot see inside. I think there are some little babies in there, but I'll probably never know exactly when they leave the nest.

New Life--New Little Critters! ::

The kittens are pretty much weaned now and it's time to find them homes. Wish me luck in that quest! I'm seriously thinking of keeping the little grey one on the left.



Here are my little baby birds which live in my front door wreath. I try not to use the front door and the mother is pretty understanding when I inadvertently disturb her by opening the door.






I love springtime!
