Thursday May 13,2010.. Awake after a long... 2 year Winters Nap!! HAPPY SPRING
















I've neglected this sad little blog for far far far to long‼





It's a cool spring evening here. I have 2 new Fuchsia plants outside for the Hummingbirds, the Ruby throated beauties have been back up north here for the past 2 weeks.





We really look forward to their return each year. The bright red Cardinal male was feeding his darker downy daughter yesterday & today under our bird feeder..





My entire family giggles over this as it appears the birds are 'kissing'... out of the mouth of my 7 yr old first grader... I often refer to her as my 6 yr old.. poor kid‼





Inexpensive entertainment can be had just watching your birds put on a show for you.





My son took a few pics of some cards I have made recently.





He used my OTT light and some white computer paper to take the pics with.





I gave him 3 cards, asked him to take pics of all three... of course he listens as well as any other 13 year old seventh grade male.. That's right, the kid took a photo of only the Magnolia card...DOH‼





I took a Quilling Class at our Fave local Scrapbook store, Life's Memories & More on Park St in Palmer, MA. Tanya bullock owns it& is a school teacher as well. Her mom Barbie works for her... Every time I praise Barbie & tell Tanya to give her a raise she replies with the same come back... "Yeah, OK, I'll add another zero to the end of her pay"....lol HA HA Tanya‼

Funny Funnies! Hold your breath and sqeeze your cheeks! :}

Are your legs crossed?

Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? ?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Do Lipton Tea employees take "coffee breaks?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Whatever happened to Preparations A through G? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words "The" and "IRS" together, it spells "THEIRS"?

Wild life shots, oh and the K9 kind too! ;0)

This is one of the deer in my yard. About 25 feet from the Hot tub. This is the proud buck, just look at him! Crikey! He's magnificent in his glory isn't he?
Now here you see 2 of my Fur Baby Labbies! This black fella is named Wynn. He has pellets made of lead in both hind quarters in the soft tissue. In MA it is illegal to use anything other than steel.
Some man in North Florida decided to play Animal Control Officer when he was walking into his yard and shot his behind with a shot gun! Imagine.. Guess what? No charges were pressed against the IDIOT! The Humane Society intervened right away and got him to the vets. Seems a kind neighbor heard the shotgun blast and called for help. So he was neutered, spayed given all the vaccinations a dog should have and sent to a wonderful Foster Mother who works with the American Lab Rescue Group.
We got Wynn last December for my hubbies Birthday. Now just last Saturday we made the drive once again to Glastonbury CT to wait a few hours and pick up a few more Labbies! This time a pair of siblings, 14 months old. Black female and Yellow male. Beautiful dogs.... We were taken a back by the size of the Yellow male to say the least. He is over one hundred pounds and stand as tall as my kitchen counters! He's not overweight either, just big...ENORMOUS even. His sister is a tad bit smaller at 80 pounds.
They came from Alabama. Their female owner had become gravely ill and was no longer able to care for them is what we were told. Either that or she couldn't control the powerful dogs and had obviously failed to teach them to sit, stay, heel or come when called and it was enough for her to quit.. Who really knows?
She named them Chicken and Marcella.
( no one told her it was spelled Marsala if she was talking about dinner!)
How silly is that? We have renamed them. Of course, they deserve better than that!
They now proudly carry the monikers of Maxx. E. Moose ( for sheer size!) and Ruby.
Ruby & Max! Noggins show by Rosemary Wells. I love her books, her illustrations and the song.. :}
So these 2 blacks are Wynn & Ruby and then another picture of the deer, you can see the three of them here.
I'll try for a card or two tomorrow. No school for my kids so we shall have to wait and see. Hoppy Easter Weekend!

Singing in the Rain.. Just Singing in the Rain

"Oh I love a rainy night.".
What an oldie but goodie song!
Makes me want to get up and do more than just chair dance.
lol
In Western MA it's drizzly bleak & dreary today....another not quite Spring yet day typical of New England!
Yesterday morning we had 3 Deer, 2 does and one buck grazing their way through-out our back yard! You ask how do we know it was a buck?
Well...... ( biology here people!) it's Springtime and ....
you know...... he was trying to do his thing.. ;]
I can only hope they come back with a fawn in a few months!!

We got a few awesome shots. I'll try to share a few with you.

Nothing is blooming here yet.
The street sanders from the harsh winter killed off all my crocus along most likely, with my daffodils and Hyacinth :{So sad!
Moles ate my tulips.. What's a girl to do??

Ok Blogger isn't letting me add any images this morning.
No spell check either.. I'm in trouble now!
I'll find a friend to help with that later.
Drat!
