Ally and her latte moments
I love pictures of wildlife. The love of a mother transcends everything in this world. No matter where you look in nature you will see it if you look closely enough. I always warms my heart to see these kinds of pictures. I will probably post more later. I found a whole bunch of them.
With the push towards saving the environment, green printing has become a way to help keep our air clean and save our forests. I am really happy about the way people are trying to save the environment now. For years we did not take our stewardship of this planet as seriously as we should have, but that is changing in a big way. More and more companies are taking responsibility for their own carbon foot print and working towards keeping the earth clean for future generations.
I am proud to be a part of a world that is serious about taking care of our planet. Every day we take larger steps to keep the planet clean and I know that the wildlife out there appreciates it.
We have a couple of kittens and my littlest guy is having so much fun playing with them. One minute he is chasing them and the next they are chasing him. He is dragging a long shoelace around behind him and they have been going nuts trying to catch it. It is so funny to watch. I might have to dig out the camcorder and get it on video. It is moments like these that I want to cherish forever.
Oh these kittens are driving me crazy. Two of them are doing really well using the litter box, but the other two are not at all using it. I am really sick of having to pick up little piles from all over the place. I am so happy they are weaned and can now be given away. I have one already that has found a home, but just needs to be picked up.
I think I will take the rest to Walmart and stand out front on Saturday when there are a lot of families coming in and out. People are usually willing to take them when you do that, so it should not be a problem. I will just have to deal with my kids later when they are gone though. They will be a little sad.
Later on this afternoon we are going to go bicycle riding down the nature trail. It is about 3 miles long with a lot to see and plenty of learning stuff for kids. They have little plaques set up all over the place so that you can learn about the flora, fauna and rock structures along the trail. The kids love it when we do this and to be quite honest, we should do it more often.
I will endeavor to make that happen, but sometimes life gets in the way. Time seems to get away from you and things you want to do get put off to the side until later.
The kids were watching cartoons and saw a spider crab on the show. Of course whenever they see something new, they want me to look it up online. As it turns out, it is called a Japanese Spider Crab and is only found in the waters of Japan. They can grow to have a leg span of over twelve feet and weight over forty pounds. Wow! That is one big crab. I don’t think it will fit in any of my pots and pans.
The kittens are so pretty. Keira looks just like her mother and has blue eyes too. Her eyes are almost a turquoise color and remind me of a south pacific lagoon. They are just amazing to look at. Mumbo looks just too adorable. He gives you that “who me” look or a “I’m too cute” look and it just melts your heart. You really should see them.
This is how I feel today. So if you have ideas about messing with me, I would seriously reconsider that agenda. If you decide that you just have to mess with me, you might get more than you can handle. I will gladly rip your head off and gnaw on it for a snack. So leave me alone until I calm down and you might want to fix what you did to piss me off. Have a nice day ! NOT !
The kids are so happy that winter is almost over. The weather this week has been amazing and they have spent a lot of time outdoors. This weekend we are going to go hiking in the state park. We are finally able to get out of the house and are really excited about it. I think we will take the dog as well, because she absolutely loves the state park. We even have favorite trails we like to hike along. One goes along the river and when the water gets warmer, we will hike and then swim and then hike some more. I love spring.
My mom built a conservatory onto the house and wants to get all double glazing cost for the windows. The double glazing helps keep the heat in during the cold months of the year, so that the plants and flowers do not die. My mom has the greenest thumb and loves to grow flowers and plants. I love it when she brings me clippings from her garden for my yard. We have placed so many of her plants in our back yard garden that it looks like a carefully cultivated jungle in the summer. Of course the children like this as it gives them plenty of places to hide when they are playing.
We have grown the various flora and fauna so that there are quiet arbors of solitude for anyone who wishes to enjoy nature with peace and tranquility. I intend to put in a small pond that crosses the garden via a little stream that ends in another pond this year. I have to figure out how to heat it so I can add some Koi to it as well. I might just put up a green house and have it connect to there as well so that I can move the Koi during the winter months so they do not freeze. I would of course double glaze those windows to keep the heat in.
