adopt-a-kitten

What was supposed to be temporary, turned into permanent.  I was brought an orphaned kitten, looking for a mother.  The poor thing was abandoned in front of a pet store.  He was just a tiny little thing, starving for food and attention.  We decided to try and put him with my female cat that had kittens already.  If it didn't work, it was ok, another bottle fed kitten. Ho well!

As it turned out, she accepted him like one of her own, right from the get-go.  He, and we fell in love.  He was quickly named Simba.  Thought it was appropriate, he had that face.
He is now a permanent member of our family, and he's here to stay!

Double pot of gold

Ever wish you could find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?  Is there really a leprechaun waiting there?  This was a very special moment.  We saw the clouds moving away during a rain storm, with bright sunshine on the other side.  We just knew there would be a rainbow.  We saw, color by color, a rainbow coming to life, starting with the purple, right into pink.  To our surprise?  A second rainbow appeared.
Now if only I could find the end of those, get my daughters to talk to the leprechaun into a stupor, so I can run away with the gold.......Then I wake up!

happy birthday to me!

Today is my 38th birthday.  It's a day like any other, but not to Audrey.  According to her, your birthday should be a very special day.  Adults shouldn't have to go to work on their birthdays.  They should spend the day having fun.  Which I do agree, but unfortunately, can't be done.
So starting at 6am, as she came running into my room to wish me a happy birthday, she's been giving little special treats.  Seeing as I don't get any presents on my birthday, she felt really bad about that, so the daycare kids and her picked up a bouquet of flowers for me, how thoughtful.  She's got such a big heart, she makes me proud.

"Mom, I brushed a cow!"

  It's always enjoyable to come to my home.  Always something exciting to do or see.  Most kids that spend the day, go home pooped right out.  Most days we stay out from morning 'till they go home.
  This morning I woke up to having Ice, my cow, in the yard.  She's a very funny and friendly cow, she walks on a leash.
I tied her up so the kids could brush her up and put bug spray on her.  Not many kids can say "Mom, I brushed a cow today!" at daycare.

back for more

I must admit, I let myself go! No, no, this one doesn't smell.  I just didn't tend to my blog like I should have.  I'm taking inspiration from a friend blogger, whom has been posting one or more picture, for every day of the year.  I must say she's doing a very good job at sticking to it, so I will give it my best shot, and try it too.  Why not?  Here we go!!!!!!
For those that know me, I haven't been very lucky with my chickens, let's just say I have very fat and well fed raccoons.  I now have one!  She's named MaDame Poulette, and we've relocated her to the garage, so she can be safe from the Raccoon family.  She roams free all day, and loves chasing the cats.  She actually loves it when I feed the cats leftover.  Her favorite? Deer steak!  She dominates all the cats, and gets to eat first, way to go MaDame Poulette!

Beautiful sunny day,+27c, felt like +35
