Believe it or Not 🦝

Hello to all, 

Well, here we go again, another raccoon, the third day in a row. Anyway, it is taken care of, 

Raccoon on Wednesday

Another hot, sticky day here in W.V. I can't wait until the weather changes for a cooler day. The poor old cat outside finds a spot in the foliage on the ground where it is somewhat cool to spend most of its day. 

He is always present for food and enjoys his cool water each day.

The chickens are doing just fine, and they also find cool spots to stay out of the sun for most of the day. Still getting eggs each day. 

Love and Prayers,

🦝 Raccoons 🦝- 😇

Hello all, 

 

        Well, Yesterday and Today we had raccoons come around, tearing things up and getting into the cat (we don't own) area, and messing things up. So, needless to say, they were 👻dispatched 👻to the happy hunting grounds. These things are driving my cat whom we don't own, crazy. He does not like having them come around and bother "his" space.

Raccoon on Tuesday

         Oh, by the way, the " 🐈‍⬛" we don't own has now decided to "own" us. He loves pets and touching, and loves getting scratches. It only took him 2 summers and winters to trust people just a little. He has one ear cropped, I think it has been spayed or neutered, then turned loose, what if you want a cat or not. Does not matter, the spay and neuter clinics around here, we were told, spay and neuter them and then turn them loose with ONE EAR CUT OFF on the tip. This, in my thinking, is cruel. If you don't want your cat, do the responsible thing and take it to the VET and have it put to sleep. Do not let them run around loose to be hit by a car or eaten by another animal around here in the woods. 

      Some find a friend, and he or she gets food & water every day and a warm place to sleep out of the weather. But still, not so friendly that we can take him or her to the vet and have the shots & care given to keep them healthy. So, he still is on his own, really. what if he has a toothache? Or what if he has a kidney issue, suffers in pain, it will be because someone thought it was wise to let them go on their own, with no care for the rest of their lives!

      The last 5 days we have had no rain, heat index warnings, and temps into the high 90s. It is very bad, but cooler days are on the way with rain by Friday and Saturday, and it can't get here soon enough for me. This last winter, with the two days of -10 and -12, two nights in a row, was the first for us here in W.V. Now this spring and summer are horribly hot and humid all the time. 

      I did get two new (pink 🌸& white🌼) bell plants, nice big ones in 3-gallon pots. I also ordered a 4-inch one in apricot color that turns more 💮orange as the flower ages, from another store.

When they get some blooms, I will post them here. 

Love and Prayers,

Meet Mr. Clouds -🐓 My Rooster

Hello to all, 

On Tuesday, we took a small trip and got a rooster for my three hens. More chickens will be added after we get some chicks to raise this spring. 

Mr. Clouds as I like to call him, is mostly white, with some black to dark gray color on the tail and on his neck. He is turning out to be very tame; you can pick him up just like picking up a puppy. He only has one eye. There is no wetness or leakage from the eye area. Does not seem to bother him. Will keep an eye on him.

We do not know what happened to it, and neither does the person we got him from. Seems he just showed up in their yard, so they cared for him. 

From the first day, he and the hens stay together, and they retreat to the roost inside the coop for the night. I love him. 

Tuff, the twins, and Mr. Clouds

I love how they all come for their treats about noon each day.

Love and Prayers,

Bookmarks Anyone?

Hello to all, 

Here are more bookmarks just for the looking. Remember to see a larger 

pic of the bookmarks, just click on the picture. 

          

        

Here are the last 4 for now. I love making them and working with beading 

and all that goes with it. 

I think I may try my hand at some loom beading, making a necklace that 

has an Indian girl on it, like the one my sister gave me. 

Love and Prayers,

More bookmarks

Hello to all, 

Here are a few more bookmarks I have made. Not sure what I will use them on, but I 

will find a way to use them or sell them. 

Antique gold

        

Silver lightening

Here, we have a large and a small bookmark. Some people could use the "light" 

bookmarks for things like magazines. They are light and nice to use.

Love and Prayers,

🐈‍⬛ WHY? 😠

Hello to everyone, 

The question for the day is this: WHY? Why do people think it is ok to just "dump" their cats or dogs out in the county where they think everyone else will care for them? Not true in most cases, people out in the country are no different than everyone in the cities or outskirts. If anyone wants a cat or dog, they get one on their own. They do not just take what has been dumped on them. 

We had another black cat not make it on these roads around here. It is a shame that people don't love their pets enough to do the proper thing when they cannot take care of them any longer. It is a shame that their pets are made to suffer because of them. 

If you want a pet, then take care of it, and this means to the end of life. Do the proper thing, or don't ever get a pet to start with. 

These are just my thoughts.

Love and Prayers,
