The Bells Will Ring Tomorrow

This is my somewhat new wind chime. Of course it takes a strong wind to even have it make some noise, as it is quite heavy. You can see, it is made up of flower pots. Of course I had to paint it in patriotic colors! Tomorrow, would be a very good day for a stiff wind to blow, and make these chime, to remember the anguish so many suffered on 9-11.

Whats Cookin Dad

Billy is waiting patiently for his daddy to fix supper. Everytime we go into the pantry, or open a box, or crinkle a bag, Billy is right there waiting to see what he maybe getting for a snack. He is so human sometimes!

Lovin Chocolate

You ask, why would I snap a photo of a Hersheys chocolate can? For no other reason, than I absolutely love chocolate. If you read the label though, this is not your ordinary can of Hersheys syrup. This......is actually a candle......that smells just like chocolate. Lite this baby up, and you will think you have died and gone to heaven! And no calories either! But........somehow........it doesn't really sastify my need to savor some of this sweet treet:(

Thoughts, Or Not

Silent Sunday-Buzzing Around

Mugging For The Camera

Part of Niagara Falls behind Julia and Joey. I am thinking my daughter does a wonderful job taking pictures.

Muscles Peeps

Yep Thats my SIL Joe, with Julia and Joey, my grandchildren. This picture was taken at Niagara Falls Monday. Sure looks like they were having a lot of fun!

Global Warming

After all the comments on the DNM last week, I came across this picture. It sure made me laugh!

Lots Of Lovin

Billy is getting a lot of loving right after the snake incident! Sure wish we knew how much he knew about what was going on, but had to do this, just in case the afternoon was tramatic for him.

While The Peeps Are Away.........Somethings Will Play

This past Sunday started out quite well. In fact it was great all day! We went to a friends house and enjoyed a cookout and swimming. Lots of fun! Then...........we came home. To this! This is a corn snake. It is inside my finches bird cage! I had one male and two females. Now............there is only the male left. Boy were we ever shocked! It probably came in through a cable wire hole, right below the table that held the cage. We immediately took the cage outside, and pondered what to do next. By removing the tray and bottom grate, the snake was able to slither out. Now mind you, he had two big lumps on his body, (my finches), so it could have been a little difficult for him to escape from the cage. He didn't seem to be able to wiggle away to fast, he must have been to full. By this time, my hubby was really upset about what our little birds went through, so he grabbed a shovel from the shed. The snake became history! I wonder if the male bird realized what a close call he had. I really wonder what Billy was thinking and doing all the time this was going on. He usually stays on the couch (right near the bird cage), all the time we are gone. I CANNOT STAND the thought of a snake being INSIDE my house! Mice, bugs or other small things,.........easy to get rid of. A three foot long snake..............how do you keep them out? The lesson of this story.........Do not keep small birds as pets!
