Yesterday as I was catching up housework from my being laid up with my back, I noticed it was awful quiet ...Hmmm another 2 year old reference? If he's quiet, he is into something! I go looking for him and here is what I found....
Hmm? another shower Mom??
Please ignore my shower walls. The house is a old camp house with well water that is so hard I don't have to use mordant for dying anything. It's a monthly chore for me to scrub the walls with Iron Out.
This morning, Bear started barking while outside. I go out half expecting him to be barking at something blowing across the lawn (tumbleweeds and garbage from the main road fear Bear!), and found our spring visitors are back, though startled by Bear!
Bob and Daisy have been regular visitors to our farm for the last 4 years. They are a nesting pair who successfully fought off a terroritial dispute on the roof of the house last year. Next door to us, we have a bog which they nest in along with several pairs of Canadian geese.
Yes, they are the only reason I keep bird seed around the farm. Bob is such a good mate, he watches over Daisy while she eats, then rushes to get something into himself while Daisy squawks at him that she's ready to go home. Once they start nesting, we will see them alone in turns. They have never brought babies with them so I don't know if one of them is shooting blanks.
So here are the shamelessly cute animal pics for this week.
Beth and the zoo around here!
they are shamelessly cute animal pics! Bear is gorgeous and obviously loves the shower - bahahah! i won't show a pic of our shower walls - our brown river water is full of minerals - great for your skin and hair but makes the shower stall turn orange and NOTHING can make it white again! same goes for our toilet but i use a pumice stone on it - works great! i hope to attract wild duck and geese to our area of our river - we always see them flying by but i would love to have some choose our land to live on. gonna put a lot of duckweed down by the river!

Cool, and I got my sumac seeds (the non itchy kind) today from Horizon Herbs...more than enough to share if you are interested.
DeletePleez...pleez...pleez! i will send you jambaloney's left leg in return...i am serious here - bahahahahah! i'd love a few seeds if you wouldn't mind...i'll find something appropriate to send back in return!

it may be a couple of weeks til i can send out (April 14th, since it's the earliest that I can get to the actual post office to send it but you owe me nothing in return. Will send them out asap.
Deleteoh and jambaloney left you a comment on our blog that i think will interest you. i have spent my life learning about the Mi'kmaq of my island (an Algonquin band) and now that i am back home - i plan to study and learn even more. it is an easy thing to do when there is a band less than 30 minutes away!
