My Crows

Today, I was able to get a good close picture of my crow. To me these are the most amazing, spiritual, mystical, intelligent birds. I am in awe of them. They have gotten so use to me that they now after I feed them caw for me. Think they are thanking me. It's always after. They know who I am. I have one that will sit afterI feed him in the tree across from my house and caw at me .

This one is so funny, he will go back and forth on the very top than he will come down and eat.

They are very social birds. Never do they come to just eat alone. One comes sees the food and then calls for the other birds to come. I have from 4 to 7 come and eat.


They have eaten, now it's time to go!

Blessings from my Dad

Here is my dad's rose we brought back with us, after his memorial. I didn't think it would bloom this year. YEA! think this is my dad's way of saying he's here!

This was his Zippo lighter. The top part is broken. I was going to get it fixed, but thought this was a better idea. The kids have ipod's so I got the cases. I made this little mento as a remembrance of him.

It's next to the Fat Tire bottle. Perfect symbolism too! I love my new red bike.. .. ..Thanks Dad!!

Moon Magic

One of the blessings of living where we do, is we get the best view of the moon. This shot is from the back yard last week.

A few moments later the moon is getting higher!

Dusk, she's so beautiful! Some worship the Sun, I choose to worship the moon and all her magic.

Cutness and Sweetest

Now, ain't they cute!!

Even the Big kid can be sweet!

Awe! Sweetest of being a big sis!

Who needs who . . . .pet or kid . ... or . . .

could it be both?

Joy always seem to be with one of us curled up and snuggling. Joy was left home for hours on end with the person who had her before we did, now she is with us most of the time . She needs us as much as we need her! Having our pets makes our family complete. Life is a circle, one doesn't need one more, the need is a circle. The love goes to Joy and Buddha and ZZ and comes back to us, a complete circle.

I think Jazzy needs Joy, he loves her. He needs to snuggle with his favorite snooze dog. Sometimes, I just want to capture those special moments and never let them go!

Graditude

Now this is a washer that is beautiful, amazing and wonderful! The first day I used it I kept checking it make sure it was in working order. If it STOPPED I freaked out and very very gently walked over and than it started and would feel so happy! I know it's just a washer, but we have several months of broken appliances of one sort or another.
I know turn the water on and feel so grateful and so blessed to live where I can have water and use it. Other places the water causes illness. I hope I don't ever take having water, being able to wash my clothes in a washing machine, Jerry having a job any of these things for grant it. Right now, Jerry and I just feel an over abundance of gratitude!

Tara in the reading nook

Tara loves to read. She read a little everyday. Today, she decided to sit in the reading nook and read some books.

She is totally enjoying her selections!

She is like her daddy, an avid reader!

The whole bottom shelf is Jazzy and Tara's.
