Here's Nyx, my Halloween cat! I have never fed a feral cat before, but when this gal showed up 2 weeks ago, she came up to the hubby when he was grilling outside. So I have been giving her a noon meal each day. Just something about her with those chartreuse eyes-making life a little less harsh for her. 👽
I have a bit of a thing for these vintage pumpkin faces. There are 3 versions of it in my living rm. The cat pedestal I got at an estate sale yrs ago. Enjoy this last week of October! 🐈⬛
The last October weekend is here. Enjoy! The hubby & I took a jaunt to our nearby Elizabeth Park & took some pics. The paths; the bridge that connects the island to the mainland; ducks headed toward an inland bridge; a kingfisher; a squirrel getting a drink near the base of the inland bridge. 🍂
Hello Paula, thank you for your kind word about my page. The song I have is new to me. It's from the Hunger Games prequel movie that I haven't seen yet. Yes, the owls are so much fun. We have one nearby and I was delighted to hear him (her?) hoo hooing after dark recently. It thrills me to my toes. lol. There is also a resident possum nearby that I've been feeding (my son was appalled that I do this) and he is getting quite bold. He used to sneak around but now I see him on my deck at night like he's waiting on supper. Of course he is! lol. Interesting note...he seems to prefer the same stuff we humans do...carbs!! haha. At any rate hubby has given up on scolding me for feeding him and accepted it.
Have you noticed your hens lay less in the Summer? My brother lost 4 of his at once from a pack of feral dogs. He is down to 2 now. :(
Glad to hear Dennis had no clogged blood vessels when they checked. It will just take some time, as you said. Yes, my brother is on meds and also got the clear to resume normal activity so he can string the bows again. He's coming up on a year now since his ablation.
Yes we got another chance at the Northern lights last week and we actually got them way down here in FL too though they weren't that bright like other states. My phone has a night mode on it and when I took pics that night of the lights I could see them better on the pic than with the naked eye. I also read we can expect to see them again before long due to increased solar activity (storms)
Glad you got your eyes checked and the 2 pairs of glasses are working for you. I was the same for years....cannot tolerate bifocals. I had cataract surgery in 2022 and they put standard corrective lenses in both eyes. I no longer need glassses for distance, just use readers from the Dollar tree for reading small print. It's been wonderful. My area missed the worst of hurricane Helen and Milton, thankfully. They were both nasty storms and My heart goes out to those affected.
Oh goodness, your Mom got those egg rolls good and done, huh? lol. Glad she is doing well and you are close enough to visit frequently.
Chilly here this am but 39 degrees felt good to me. Have a good Thursday!
Good morning, Paula! Love your pretty page! So FALL-ish. When I got up it was 29º, and I was singin' a tune:) Am enjoying it now, as mid 80s return next week. Rats! I'm happy for you, getting Mom moved and settled in before your cold winter, and am sure you feel the same. I'm also pleased she is so at ease w/the change. Your Den sounds so much like my Glenn... to him, getting out in his bass boat was vital to his sanity. Our river water is no longer good for eating what he caught, so 'catch & release' is the norm. lol Because of his increasing unsteadiness, he had to sell his boat and I was dreading him having no sanity invoker, but so far, so good. Glad you got new glasses. I think the way you're using them is quite handy! I've worn glasses since the 2nd grade, until having bilateral corneal transplants, and being relieved of glasses most of the time. Sometimes I still resort to them for closeup reading of tiny print. I still raise my hands to remove them from the top of my head tho... where they resided much of the time:) Glenn is doing well. He's had 3 reconstruction surgeries, has one more to go, and will start radiation treatment soon. He was found to have cancer between his nose and cheek, (a Man, the Sun, and years in a Boat) and had progressed deeply before being found. They think they got it all, but left a deep hole in his face that already looks so much better. Thx fo asking, Paula. It's been a complicated 2024, and will gladly bid it farewell. I love the kittens' names... Calvin and Hobbes!! Give them a "scritch" for me, and Thank You for feeding the deer. What beatiful creatures. We see them in the woods close to our boundaries, and occasionally they come into our side and back areas to eat the Privet hedges. Most always a doe w/two youngins. We still need rain... very dry. We got none w/Helene, the closest to us. I hope you get what you need, then send any leftovers southeast:) I pity so those hit in the Carolinas, Tennessee. The Appalachians will be bruised and battered for years. Take care of you, dear friend. I always enjoy your notes!! ♥ ♥ Love & *hugs*, di and Dobbie:)
Some Wonderland beauty! Mackinac Island in Michigan (recent pics) does not allow cars. There is a police car, an ambulance & 4 fire trucks. Unless a person is disabled, no e-bikes. Horses are used for transport, otherwise people get around on bikes.🍁
Hello to you. Its a cool and breezy day here. Tonight we are in a frost advisory until 10 tomorrow morning. Not much going on here today. Been kind of lazy. Yesterday I posted pictures of our kids and their spouces on my picture album. I hope you have had a good day and will enjoy your evening. Take care. Cheryl
Hope your week started off well. Sharing some of my fall decor. It's been arranged since September & adds a seasonal glow that I love (second fav with Christmas being first). 🌰
This may be the winding down of the year, but I feel invigorated with the change of temps, the windy days & clear starry nights. Have a great Thursday!🎃
Hello and good afternoon. I wasn't on here much at all last week. I was still recovering from being sick. I bought a drink called Boost for me to drink to get myself feeling better. Its loaded with vitiamns and other stuff. I'm much better. I went and bought groceries at Walmart this morning. Then I came home and did some cleaning in the bathrooms and put up a new shower curtain in the main bathroom. Between cleaning the tub and putting up the shower curtain I got so sweaty. Glad that is done. Now I can rest and relax. I hope you have been doing good while I wasn't on here checking up on everyone. Our youngest grandson turned 1 year old on September 21st. Enjoy the rest of your day my friend and take care. Hugs to you, Cheryl
Hope you're having a great day! Left a window open overnite here in Wonderland. Woke up to a chill of 64F (18C). Just closed the window & my inside temp returned to normal. We try not to turn the heat on until Oct.1.🏮
Well I have survived the Covid. Woke up this morning and felt like myself again. Now for a week when I go somewhere I have to wear a mask. I went to Walmart this morning to get groceries and wore a mask. I had forgot how much I didn't like wearing one. It steamed over my glasses. Had a cough and had to put a cough drop in and my nose was very itchy. No fun. Hope all my friends on here are healthy. It rained here on Saturday, got down in the 40's last night. And its only 70* right now. I am loving this weather. Well take care my friend. Hugs--Cheryl
