“Mother is not a title.

Mother is a verb. It is not who you are.

It’s what you do.”

~ Shonda Rhimes

Happy Mother’s day, mom. I love you and miss you every, single day.

“Lost Boy”

My dear niece, Emily lost a beloved friend in a tragic accident recently. This is her beautiful tribute.

We are all so sorry for her loss and heartache.

We love you Em~

A Moment In The Sun

Oh, these birdies of mine!

They’ve been cooped up in the silly little box, in the house…

IMG_2179

for such a long time, that we decided to take them outside for their very first taste of fresh grass…

and a bit of sunshine.

Oh, myyyy how they loved it. Chirping and jumping and flapping their wings at last!

We’ve got to get creative really fast here. I’ve a feeling they won’t go back in their box too quietly.  Fresh air and sunshine…

can’t say as I blame them.

Next stop…chicken coop.

Chickoletta’s beak is growing longer too.

Little Masha’s is still small and pokey. She is turning out to be the baby of the crowd–just staying a bit smaller than the rest–but ohhh so sweet.

And weird old Jiffy–still doesn’t seem to care.

I’ve been telling her they are baby bull dogs and she just has no interest in them.

She hasn’t caught on yet.
