Eating Outside
The past couple of days, the weather has just been wonderful. We have been able to enjoy eating outside on the porch using the new chairs we bought. They are the perfect height to use with the table we got a few years ago. It is a nice change of scenery. We watch the people […]
Passing Clouds
I took some time today to just sit on a rock, breathe in fresh mountain air, and watch the passing clouds. I didn’t try to make objects out of the shapes, but just watched them move. There were large white clouds that would billow in some places getting larger and puffier. Others were thin and […]
Bountiful Birds
When we get to the cabin, we always fill up the bird feeders and put them out right away. But the last couple of times, we haven’t had any birds come visit. We have really missed them and wondered why they haven’t been around. Yesterday evening, though, we saw a flock of wild turkeys – […]
Great Unplanned Timing
We made a trip to the cabin today, watching the weather as thunderstorms were developing. We caught just the edge of a storm before we stopped for lunch and saw that it had already passed through. We were pretty happy about that, as it looked like a pretty bad one and we were in the […]
Down Under
Today I saw pictures from another friend’s vacation in Australia. Of course the wildlife there was made up of kangaroos, parrots, cockatoos, and koala bears. I get excited if I get to see them in a zoo. I thought about what a beautiful and amazing world we live in with such diverse creatures living in […]
Helping Nesting
Last year, we had a couple of finches build a nest near the front door using the light and ledge as braces. We were very entertained as we kept a close eye on the eggs and eventually the baby birds as they fledged. Earlier this summer, two finches returned and tried for a couple of […]
Hummans Collect
My mom and I watched a program tonight about little kids who do amazing things. There was a little boy who read science books and learned all about space. My mom said that was just like my older brother. He also used to read science books at just 6 years old. One day he came […]
Virtual Trip
My brother and his dog have been travelling around in his truck and trailer for a few months now. Recently, they headed up into Alaska. He shares some great pictures and videos of wildlife including bald eagles and baby owls. We are lucky to video chat with him several times a week. He will show […]
Amazing Weather Event
My parents and I made a trip up to the cabin today. When we arrived, we noticed the familiar yellow pollen from the pine trees had covered the deck. In the afternoon, some small thunderstorms moved in, but cleared enough to go out for a walk. My mom wanted to identify the numerous wildflowers that […]
Planting Seedlings
A couple of months ago, I received some free packets of flower seeds in the mail and at a caregivers event that I attended. I planted them in tiny pods a few weeks ago, hoping to eventually put them in the big pots at the front porch. I have been taking meticulous care of them […]
