ramblings!

The day has come that the pictures are coming out of the frames and all going into albums...for years I have had pictures of the family setting around...and when we moved here I  had a place in the bed room that was great for pictures......after 2 1/2 years it is a constant source of dust, that has to have all the shelves emptied and cleaned and then put back...I thought decreasing the amount of pictures would help...nope...now they are all moving to albums that are assigned to family members...

Next issue...we have had to replace the microwave and it is only 2 1/2 years old...that sucks...sorry, I have had microwaves last for years and years...and the source of the microwave is gone, the rest works fine...but no microwave. 

So we took a trek over to Barryville and have a new over the stove one coming on Monday.  Not thrilled about this, and hope this one will last, we are dealing with a local appliance store, so maybe that will be a benefit.

Stan brought home another turtle...lol..and we have a frog hanging out in the pond, maybe tadpoles next, lol. This one has red spots on it's legs and face...

I am cleaning and doing laundry, the guest bedroom is nearly clear again, once all the paperwork is done, it will be done, I have been going though years and years of paperwork and seeing what needs to be kept.

Other than all of this we are having a nice Saturday, Stan is taking a nap watching a ladies ball game.

and I am going through the house and  to gather up more stuff that needs to leave our house...we will have a lot of nice picture frames that will be grouped in lots of 4 or 6 at a time...some that retailed at $25.00 each.

It is also time to run an audit...with a lot of items on ebay at one time I find that things get deleted, lost or relisted and no longer available...so that is going to be done next..

 

Hope all are having a great day...

be happy, life is too short...

((((hugs)))) and blessings!

if you think life is tough...

just look at these innocent babies...the worst thing they ever did was poop on the side of their nest...

the one on the left was about to leap out into the unknown world before he tucked back down, and I took this  picture. 

They were leaping into my flower bed, with the hopes that they will fly and continue to be nutured by thier parents a few more days....

NOW THAT IS A LEAP OF FAITH....

and today I saw thier parents at it again...I think there will be new eggs in the nest any day now. 

The mother was messing around with the nest and the father was not far away, flitting back an forth towards the mother...

Kicked out one day and  new kids on the way..

This might help...concering listings being pulled...

In the interest of tryin to figure out what is going on...

Why are listings being removed....?

What are the rules that would cause removal?

I am going over to rules and policies and pulling the rules and putting them below...

 

offer your thoughts and opinions...

JUST SO YOU KNOW..

I HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING  PULLED..

The babies have flown the coop...*nest*

Purple Finch, malePurple Finch, female

 

Things we noticed, the babies decide to jump out of the nest on thier own, the male does most of the feeding, we noticed the female encourage the first one to fly and get up off the ground by enticing it with food. 

I found the fisrt fledgling in the ground cover after it jumped out of the nest.  Shortly after my poodle went on scouting missions to check them out, she is gentle and did not try and harm them and would have been delighted if they would have played with her.  We really need to find her a play mate. 

Now we are watching to see if they come back for a repeat performance, I can see the nest from my desk, this particular nest is in a fern hanging on the  porch.

Will keep you posted on wild life events as we see them occur.  lol

oh, just now the male flew to his perch near the nest...so watching will be fun. 

and the babies are all the same color til they get older.

going back to bed...

hope all of you have a great night and a great day tomorrow...

 

(((((hugs))))) and blessings!

Welll now that I am wide awake..

eating some banana pudding, and hoping that I get sleepy again...

 

We played golf late, and 16 of  us had potluck at one of the golfers houses...I came home and went straight to bed...

 

I am going to go and chill...

has been a busy day, going to go and chill for awhile, will come back later.

The golf cart and the baby birds...

 

well the second glass

of wine is kicking in...

 

Stan always said I was a cheap date..lol.

 

Actually I could never figure out the fun of drinking, after a couple of glasses of wine I am out like a light, so it is not a party for me...

if we have wine with friends I am sipping for hours...

 

night, ((((hugs)))) and blessings..
