Blooms, Birds, Birthdays and Baby Kittens

It's Friday!  And it's been a busy week since I was here last.  

Rain has fallen, the sun is now shining....the

flowers are growing.

Birds are singing.  I snapped the bluebird while sitting on the 

patio one afternoon in between bottle feedings and chores.  

This photo is a happy accident and not clear like I wanted, 

but I like the way it turned out looking kinda like a painting.

Kittens are thriving.  And this is one of the reasons I've 

been too busy to blog.  They are both doing really doing well now. 

Rainie is eating much better as well as walking and is so sweet.  She likes to be cuddled and purrs a lot.  Rambo the Rambunctious loves to run around and explore everything.  It was quite an undertaking as I'm not used to feeding, burping and fixing bottles!  Not to mention the changing and washing of their bedding each time they are gotten out to feed and to play. 

But, it's impossible not to fall in love with them.

As my friend, Virginia, said in an email just the other day,

"Animals don't ask for much, just love, and they will

return it a thousand times."

Birthdays are happening.  Our daughter is having a birthday this holiday weekend.  One of her friends is having a party at their house with some of her friends to celebrate.  This photo is from last year, but she doesn't look any older!  

Happy Birthday, Kim!!

We love you lots and lots. 

BG and I picked up some fast food and enjoyed the lake view 

while we ate our supper last night.  I'll be happy when the 

bridge work is done so we don't have to take the detour.  

I don't go very often now and I miss my lake visits. 

While we were making plans for the weekend, we decided

to go this evening to the cemeteries and decorate the 

graves of our loved ones.  It is tradition here to not only

remember those who have died for our country but also to decorate

  the graves of our loved ones on this special holiday.

May each of you have a wonderful holiday weekend

in remembrance of those who died so that we might be free.

Happy Friday to you!
