Welcome!


Welcome Goyo! After a year has passed from my losing my precious Paco and poor old Ava having passed, I went to the pound and found a "little old man" Chihuahua. He was found in a neighborhood, lost and disoriented and had never been "chipped" neutered nor seemingly any other vaccinations given. After his surgery on Thursday, I picked him up on Friday and he has hardly left my side since. He has been well trained, knows what a doggie door is and is thoroughly a lap dog.

Here's hoping we have a few good years together.

They're baaaack!


One of the delights I have had living in a rural setting has been the Hummingbirds that come around. On the second Saturday in April, I got out my feeders and cleaned them and filled them with nectar and hung them up. It took two days before one of the little buggers found it and now several visit all day long. And the wars have started. Hummers are very territorial and often fight over certain feeders. I have three hanging off the porch and they have their favorites. Favorites that seem to change from time to time. It's so interesting to see which one they will empty first. So far, two of the feeders are running neck and neck in being favorites.

Ah, the delights of nature!
