Well it's another "New Year" and I hope to be able to blog more this year and visit blogs more (no guarantees though). Most of you know that my mom has Dementia now and looking after her can sometimes really cut into my personal time so if I'm not on the computer much you'll know why.
Well if you follow my blog you've probably noticed I've been absent again for a couple of weeks. Seems that is a pattern for me anymore. I'm still alive and doing okay, just busy.
If you are here for last Friday's WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE click on the link to be taken to that post.
Saturday was our sweet Speedy G's "Gottcha Day" and I just never got around to getting his pictures up and posted. (Shame on Me) but he had a wonderful day and got plenty of love and attention. So today I'm sharing his photos for:
1. Every summer I try to get a photo of a butterfly but most often or not they fly off before I can get a picture of them. I managed 2 of this lovely Swallowtail before it took off.
2. Took a little drive earlier this month and spotted some Wild Turkeys.
A couple of the adults and some of the baby turkeys. There were lots more but they were moving quickly and it was hard to get decent shots of them.
3. Enjoying some of the summer fruit readily available in this area. Yummy Blackberry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. Doesn't get much better!
4. I like to do Black and White shots now & then. This is a Cherry Orchard and wind turbine.
5. Out on another drive. Had to take a shot of the baled fields.
6. I liked the way this building looked and the cool sculpture in front of it. Will share a better shot of that at a later date. (Got to give you something to look forward too).
We took a drive this week up Tollgate to the lake where my hubby is doing some work on a cabin up there. Today's photos are from that trip.
1. First up, a view of the Blue Mountains from the E.J. Haney Viewpoint. Notice the crows in the trees on the right.
2. We stopped at the Tollgate Store to get some snacks and outside the store was this (weird) metal sculpture.
It's a badger catching salmon. After researching I'm not sure if this was a Bear or a Wolverine but it's not a Badger as they are much cuter that that. It looks really ferocious and scary.
3. One of the fancier cabins on the lake.
You have to be a member to use the lake and there is a gate with a code that you need to get inside as people actually live there year round.
4. We didn't see any deer on the way up (except for some horses which I made the mistake of saying, "Look at those big deer" before I realized they were horses) now I'll never live that one down. Yes I do know the difference! - Anyway while we were looking at the lake this lovely deer was just walking by and munching on grass.
It seemed almost "tame" and hubby says it's there almost everyday.
5. Some pretty wildflowers growing by a post on the ground.
6. Can't leave hubby out since he's the reason we took the drive. Here he is hard at work.
7. On our way out we spotted this little family happily swimming on the lake. I'm not sure what kind of birds these were but I'm "guessing" perhaps some type of a Loon.
Today we have, Speedy G just lounging around. I love how he lays with his paws spread out in front like that. He has to sometimes because he has such a big fat belly...see the next shot.
We call him, "Sumo Kitty" because of that belly!
He has such a sweet little face that I just couldn't resist sharing this shot too.
Leaving you today with a lovely musical selection to enjoy
One of my favorite songs by the Eagles....I hope we all have a Peaceful Easy feeling type of weekend.
It's been a super busy and hectic week. More on that in a minute.
1. Remember last week's WNFF Jurrasic Park Car....see post below. Well they invaded the fair grounds. Here's one of them trying to eat the Education Building.
2. Saturday we got a new bed and mattress. Sunday Speedy the cat got sick. He ate Easter Grass, Candy wrappers & ribbon. Had to spend Monday at the Vets doing a $360.00 Barium Study to make sure nothing got stuck in his intestines. He's fine but the Vet bill over $400 wasn't so much fun.
On the left, Caramel enjoying the new bed. On the right, Speedy G recovering from his trip to the Vet.
3. A sure sign of spring around here is when "Woody" the woodpecker returns to peck on the telephone pole next door.
4. Another sign of spring...When my mom's French Lilac tree blooms and perfumes the air.
5. Finally on Tuesday Coleen had her knee surgery to repair the tendon in her knee that hold your knee cap in place. She's doing okay but mastering crutches has been a challenge for her.
Needless to say between taking care of a sick cat, an 89 year old mother and a kid out of surgery the week hasn't exactly been a barrel of laughs but we are surviving.
