Awww Monday August 10, 2020

 Sunrise Friday morning
We made a quick 3 day trip up and back  
to Dunsmuir, California this past weekend.
Visiting good friends, returning things,
  bringing gifts, attending an
art opening and basically having a great time!  
We left at 5am Friday so we could arrive with
most of the day left to play!



Saturday dinner at Cafe Maddalena
Our favorite restaurant!

Toby!

Sunday we visited more friends, some
with four legs and some with only two legs!
Thanks Bill and Ewana for the brewskis and fun visit!

Newt! 


Sister!

And Mister!

Plus we had delicious pizza before heading
home to get ready for our drive home
early Monday morning!
(which means you are reading this while we are on the road!)


Thanks Mike and Tana for the yummy dinner!





Have a great week everybody!
And thanks Sandee for all you do!

Such an awesome garden and flower buddy.

make honey. They are amazing !

It's Awww Monday!! December 16, 2013

Whew! 
Our Mommy deerest and her two fawns are back!!
Some days ago we saw a coyote chasing a deer on
our property. When we hadn't seen the doe nor her fawns
for the last 3 days we thought perhaps one 
of them had gotten snagged. Fortunately not.
Russell went out immediately and gave them a few pieces 
of cut up carrot. If you look closely you can see the orange  
bits in the fawns mouth. We normally try to not
feed them, but then we're only human......

Awww Monday!! Quigley the Quail


This is Quigley the Quail.
His entire family was killed by a careless driver. 
(and I do mean care less)
Quigley was tenderly cared for by an
experienced naturalist,but did not live past 3 days.
He was too lonesome and missed his family.
So sad- please look out for the little guys
when you are behind the wheel.

Awww Mondays with Chip or is it Dale?


And here's Chip....or is it Dale?
We have a lot of these cute little guys
running around our 10+ acres.
We don't mind them as they leave
our vegetable garden alone....
Unlike Tom and Jerry who  are not allowed!

Awww Monday June 10, 2013 with some help from Emily and Pooh Bear


I love bees- especially Bumblebees!
Don't buzz off....
Sit down beside the  flowers and hum along!
Or as lovely Emily Dickinson wrote:
( a BIG thanks to Stephen Hayes AKA Chubby Chatterbox for this addition)

Bees are Black, with Gilt Surcingles 
Bees are Black, with Gilt Surcingles --**
Buccaneers of Buzz.
Ride abroad in ostentation
And subsist on Fuzz.

Fuzz ordained -- not Fuzz contingent --
Marrows of the Hill.
Jugs -- a Universe's fracture
Could not jar or spill.


** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surcingle



Or....as Pooh says:

It's a very funny thought that, if Bears were Bees,
They'd build their nests at the bottom of trees.
And that being so (if the Bees were Bears),
We shouldn't have to climb up all these stairs
