Thankful for So Many Things . . .

One of them is physical ability.


At my age I have some aches and pains, 
but I am still able to move about quite freely.

Case in point; I yet again re-arranged my sewing room.
Bear in mind that I arrange and re-arrange my home constantly. Its either a neurotic habit or I just simply enjoy the creativeness. (I choose creative ;)
Perhaps that is the exercise 
that keeps me mobile? (heavy furniture)

One thing that is always important is 
to have a good view from the window 
for birdwatching. 



And look who arrived as I was typing.

A Rare Siting . . .

From time to time we see Flickers 
pecking around the yard
but haven't seen one perched in a tree


The left over Dogwood berries 
must be an attraction.

Just As Many of Us . . .

Lucy is in the senior years of her life and she is now in her last days.

but continues to faithfully watch for 
the return of her master
when he is out and about.

Her condition has resulted in
nasal blockage and fainting spells.
She is seeing the Vet regularly
and the office calls to check on her.

She shows no sign of pain 
and continues to go out when needed.
We have chosen to give her 
our own hospice care.

Hospice care is a special program for patients who are ill and dying. 
Rather than trying to cure an illness, hospice aims to: 
make the patient comfortable. 
ease pain and other symptoms through a sad and difficult time.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.

Did Katy? . . .

Katydid.


 Katydids are a large group of insects in the order Orthoptera, related to the grasshoppers and crickets. Some katydids have been called long-horned grasshoppers because of their long and slender shape, but actually katydids are more closely related to crickets than to any type of grasshopper.
