RIP Maggie ~

RIP Maggie 5 Feb 2019.....

Feel like crawling into a hole and dying.

Maggie and I have been together for 21 years.

My wee heart horse.

She has been sick for the last few years but took a turn for the worse this last weekend.
She was in so much pain, honestly think she stayed because she did not want to leave me.

May you run pain free in big green pastures 

with many Apple trees.

Sense of humor and Pooping sheep ~

One xmas years past,

 DH was in a rather cranky mood.

So to take the Micky out of him, I bought this.

Grumpy sheep that Poops chocolate jelly beans.

No, I really could not help myself. LOL

Norway and the Realization ~

DH had to go to Norway for a bit.  

Wasn't able to take many photos because he 

was there for work.

Some of the gifts DH brought home,  

different but I love them.

Will not wear this hat around the farm animals and birds though.
Want to keep it nice as long as possible. 

The Hat ~

My DS bought this hat for me and I figured it is about time

 to take a photo of me enjoying it.

Tried to get the right side of my face to smile but it wasn't behaving... ah well.

Taken with my old iphone and it was pretty dark out.

The lad does have a good sense of humor. LOL...

Wild Birds~

 Trying again to take photos of the skittish birds... If I stay on the sofa and take photos through the window and 

window screen....

The female Cardinal was busy chowing down.Almost good enough to see the Nuthatch giving me a dirty look before it flew off. 

Then there was two beds~

I put the old cat bed, that is on the right under the xmas tree. That became the new favorite spot for Rose to sleep. Then Mia decided to like that spot too and the squabbles ensued.
So I bought a new bed and the world is now a more 

peaceful place.

Looks like the xmas tree is going to be up for awhile.  

Most likely put some silk flowers in it.

Cardinals ~

There is a pair of beautiful Cardinals here.

Have been trying to get a photo of them for awhile now. 

Birds in this area have always been super skittish.

Best I can do, is sit back from the window on the sofa, take the photo through the window, window screen, way over to the tree in front.

Get any closer and I do not see them for awhile. 

Needless to say, is a bit of a challenge.

Really want a nice long distance bird lens !
