Merry Christmas ~ Tippy Toes 🐈‍⬛

Hello to all, 

We decided to upgrade the living area for the cat that owns us now.  So my 

husband got this new bed for Tippy Toes. We have placed it into the covered 

dog kennel where he was sleeping. It fits perfectly, and I placed the PetSafe 

heated mat under the removable pad inside the new cat bed. 

I thought it would take some time for him to get used to it, but NO, that 

evening he went right in like it had been there all the time. We feel that this 

smaller covered snug area set inside the kennel, which is covered with a 

sleeping bag, also helps keep him warmer in the wintertime. 

So, now, he is comfy in his new home.

Yes, I used one of his pictures and photo shopped him in, not perfect, 

but he wanted HIS picture in the new bed shot, so I had no choice. 😇🐈‍⬛

Happy Thanksgiving to my chickens

Hello, 

Today it's snowing now and then. Not enough to see on the ground yet.

Today is Thanksgiving, and so I have fixed a feast for them. Today they get canalope, lettuce, grapes, 

tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs along with their treat feed, and some bread broken up into small pieces. 

No, they are not spoiled. Today, they get this each and every day. I like happy chickens. 

They repay me with their colored eggs.

My chickens, Happy Thanksgiving!

I know they enjoy heated water and heaters inside their coop for when it does get cold. 

Love and Prayers,

Happy Fall

Happy Fall ya all, 

I have made this, and have not put it on a wreath just yet. But when I do will post a pick. 

Just had to show what I have been up to. 

We had so much rain this last summer, and last winter left us with a lot of snow to melt, so our fall 

colors this year were lovely. Could not get enough of just looking at all the colors. 

Margo's Scarecrow

Happy Fall, everyone.

A new spot for "Tippy Toes"

Hello to all, 

I have a new picture of our cat that likes to sit on the propane tank when the sun hits it in the fall. 

Also,  Tippy Toes says that he can spot any mice or moles running around in the tall grass while he is up there. 

Tippy Toes, the cat that owns us.

He is turning out to be very nice. He loves getting scratches on the face and sides, just all over. He is getting more and more spoiled each day.

New Girls 🐔

Hello everyone, 

Today I was able to get pics of my 4 new girls. However, I think one is going to be a "rooster". These little chicks were raised inside in a basement and never saw the sun or the great outdoors. So we had to show them how to enter the coop at night and then how to leave the coop in the morning. This took a few days to get them to catch on. But it worked. But they never left the covered area, which took a few more days. They stayed inside the covered area and were happy. It took a few more days, and then it happened. We found them out in the yard with the other chickens. We also had a few rounds with the old rooster, but now he is getting along with the hens. 

This was my first experience being around chickens that had not been outside yet, they were afraid of everything, walked like something was attacking their feet. Looked funny, but they are getting use to it all and just in time before winter hits. 

Here are the old girls and the huge rooster. 

The old girls and Mr Clouds

These hens don't lay in the late fall and through the winter time. In late spring is when they started laying again. Sure did miss good eggs during the winter last year. 


Here are the new hens, and one of the red ones might be a rooster. 

New girls, two red and 2 black and white.

This pic is not very good. They are in the covered area of the pen getting some snacks for the day. More pics will come later on. 

I am also waiting for 5 more hens about the same age as these, about 5 or 6 months. 

I am so happy to be getting more chickens from friends.

Love and Prayers,

This is Bai 🕊️

Hello everyone, 

Today we have a new pic of "Bai" (the owner already named the dove). Just a quick snap, not a good one. This little guy is learning to eat on his own. Parents already have another egg in the nest as of yesterday and she is working on the second egg. Little baby is learning to stay away from them as he still begs for food, but they are teaching him to start eating on its own. 

Named "BAI"

This was the only egg that hatched this time around. 

Love and Prayers,

October in the Possum fields ☠️🎃

Hello to all, 

Today, we have a Possum in our backyard, next to where the cat stays at night.

We had the family of deer (3) a few nights ago, the baby we have watched grow up right here, he or she has lain on the side of our driveway, just a few feet from the garage door at night. The grass is all mashed down where it sleeps at night. We see in the evening, they turn on the outside lights, and I can watch them for a while. They are so cute, but do be warned, they will eat what you plant, so our fence so far is keeping them out of the yard, and my plants do not get torn apart by them like everything else does.  

October - Possum

Last few nights it is getting into the 40s and 30s for temps. Fall is in full swing now, and showing nice color, and the leaves are dropping fast. The cooler temps feel great to me; not use to the hot summer we have just had. 

I have been working on some new charms. I will have some pics up a little later on, so stay tuned. 

I will have some angels, purse charms, dangles, and other items up.

Love and Prayers, 

 Margo

New bloomer this year 🪻

Hello everyone, 

Today we have a late bloomer, I don't know the name of it. But very pretty. 

It has come up in the years past, just no flowers.

1st time it has flowered

It did open more the next couple of days, maybe called Monk's Hood, not sure. 

Love and Prayers,

Guns and Roses Bookmarks & Bolo Necktie 🔫🌹

Hello everyone, 

Today, we have a gift for some friends who live in Alaska, and he works at a gun shop. 

My husband had the idea of the Guns and Roses theme and the Bolo Tie, which I had never done before.

Angels and Halloween or Fall Bookmark 😇🍂🎃👻🦇

Hello everyone, 

Today, I am updating my blog with a few things I have made. Then I am off to make some fried chicken for supper. Can't wait. 

Here is another one I did last night for a Fall Halloween bookmark. This one has a small bookmark with a nice, long dangle.

The small angel for a purse charm, or hang it where you want it. They are so cute. 

Angels for a friend

These angels go with the "Guns & Roses" and Bolo Tie on the other page, where their pictures are located.  

Hope you enjoy viewing them.

Guess who? 🐈‍⬛

Hello to all, 

So here he is, could not resist getting this pic. He is the cat who owns us. 

You see, we don't have a cat. We have two tiny poodles and birds. 

He decided to own us and stay with us all the time. 

We decided to call him "Tippy Toes", so here is his latest pic. 

Tippy Toes

I called him "spot" at first, but I like the name Tippy Toes better. He now lets us scratch his cheeks and around the head, but no other place is to be touched for now. He is spoiled, believe me. 

Just wish he would let us get him to a vet for "shots". But, so far, he is healthy, and nothing seems to be bothering him. 

Better pic coming.

Love and Prayers,

Happy 50th Anniversary yesterday

Happy days, 

This new plant made it to flowering on our 50th anniversary yesterday. 

Love this plant. 

Flowered on our 50th anniversary.

We had a steak dinner for supper. 

I can hardly believe we have been married for 50 years.

Raccoon 🦝

Hello to all, 

We have a second half-grown raccoon again. There might be more, depending on 

how many they had. Mom and Dad show all the babies where to go and get cat food 

and water. Once again, the water and food bowls were dirty. This one hissed and 

growled at me. 

Raccoon 8-4-25 half-grown

My baby doves-flew to new home 🕊️

Morning everyone, 

Yesterday, a nice couple visited my baby doves and took them home.

My little doves found their forever home. I am so happy. 

Their new mom and dad will keep me posted as to how they are doing and send pictures of them.

This makes me very happy.

Doves 8-1-25 off to new home.

They were born in the last week of June 2025. 🕊️

Raccoon day again 🦝

Good morning, 

Here we have a young half-grown raccoon, which could be one of many to stop by. 

Today and yesterday were cooler than most of the summer. Feels good.

Hello everyone,

Today, with all the heat and humidity, along comes a possum. 

 Another big fat possum crossed the boundaries of our home.

🦝 Another big raccoon 🦝

Morning everyone, 🦝

Well, here it is, another day of the raccoons. This one is huge, much larger than some of 

the other varmints. He must have eaten more of the cat food or eaten some plants where I 

just water and feed them. 🤣💕

We are all doing ok. Vince mowed the lawn yesterday. With this new mower, it seems to cut 

much faster, and Vince is not worn out like before. I will get a video of him on 

the monster and put here when done. 

Chickens are all ok, and the rooster is still loving and so friendly. We and the hens love him.
