I played around with another picture that I had of Ella. She has beautiful eyes and a personality to match. She is always happy. I can't wait to watch her grow. Randy and April have blessed me with two beautiful grandchildren.
A bit of morning flutter in the Martin Sanctuary. I thought these birdhouses were for decoration, but I caught this on camera to show that that the homes are being occupied. While I watched, these two birds went in all three houses. I'll have to check for nests when they are not around.
Dad and I are very proud of our feng shui yard. No evil spirits can enter our backyard sanctuary. Everything is rounded. From the path to the accents, we have made it a very relaxing place to retreat to and meditate with all who visit, in human form or in animal form, such as the birds, raccoons, deer, or opossums. We have tried to incorporate the five elements into the yard such as wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Our new addition of the dwarf Japanese maple completes the serenity. I am reminded of my mindfulness as the sound of the Chinese gong chimes. It instructs me to breath in and out and smile. I am then conscious of the beautiful things this time on earth has surrounded me with.Don't disrail on this conductor . . . He may throw his whistle at you!
The ole' Brush Off has never looked cooler than the next black President of The United States doing it...
On one of Auntie Liz's visits to Olympia, I took the kids to Petee's farm to see the horses. Jadan was upset that he didn't get to ride him. Maybe next time Jadan.
