An email from one of the kindest & gentle souls.......brought a smile to me this AM

The view from the mountain I hiked today....
And the fact that there were two paths to take...and I being one person took the road less traveled by....and there's still another trail for another day... and I found a secret cabin in the secret valley behind the mountain....no road to it...its just sitting there all quiet...may be worth a gander... |
The growing eaglets
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...23f3ddb458.jpg Liberty And Justice were Xmas babies. They should be branching soon. Fledging is about a month or so away. These two are best buds. Sibling rivalry was most averted due to an abundance of food. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...00e5f4ce66.jpg Brutus (dark) and Lil Guy (grey and dark) have managed to make it to their 6th week. After some horrendous sibling rivalry - some lack of food related, some due to the renesting of Lil Guy after he was removed from the nest due to a fishing line injury when he was just 10 days old - they seem to have settled into a typical but no longer brutal pattern of coexistence. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...de76ddf562.jpg The Berry College babies are now 3 weeks old and growing like weeds. |
A pay rise! Just when I needed it the most! Thank you universe :thumbsup:
|
The guys I work with and the unbreakable bond we share.

Smiling, and I will for awhile.
I heard this noise outside on the porch. Actually it was my Mom, yelling. Shoo-ing the big ducks. The ones from the pond down the hill. But the best part, she is out there in her apron! She is making a chocolate cake and was waiting for the water to boil. We are from the big city, California. It cracks us up when we do something "country " ... Smiling. |
My beautiful babe... Makes me smile everyday <3 she's the best!
Also, my little baby Smudge who wouldn't leave my side all morning. He's the best baby-dog ever. <3 :-))) |
Liberty and Justice
2 days after hatching, they looked like this:
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...d4579ae7ca.jpg 9 days ago they looked like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...23f3ddb458.jpg This morning, they both took to flight, exploring their neighborhood by air, practicing their take offs and landings, squeeing at one another along the way. Both came back to the nest to have lunch with Dad. Happy day. Sad day. Soon, they will be gone forever. |
Finding some binoculars and some whirlybird pinwheels in my shed. :)
An old friend stopping by Bbq later :) My "niece" is doing an improv show tomorrow night, and I get to go! :) |
Finally getting to hike out to Hickory Nut Falls in Chimney Rock park...
The snow and ice had been keeping the trail closed even into this month... The falls are gorgeous and the surrounding rock face is just breath taking... Yoda and Jacques found many admireres along the way...one man said he was the most beautiful brindle he had ever seen. We saw a full blooded boxer and Yoda fell in love a little lol She was a pretty little thing... It was just a gorgeous day. Even the threatening rain made other plans. I guess it hated to ruin a perfect mountain day :) |
I got a phone call yesterday...and an interview on Thursday for the position that will pay for my CNA training. I think I have a good shot of getting it. And it turns out I've already been to this facility as a companion for my home care agency. I didn't hate it there. I'm just curious about what they pay...
|
While having dinner with my client's family they saw a friend of theirs. He came over to say hello and...long story short....he is the brew engineer that created my FAVORITE BEER...Highland's Gaelic ale....
He was a super nice guy. I told him how much I love his beer. He was very gracious. I feel like I met a celebrity :) |
A really lovely card & gift in the mail....made my day!!! It has been a rough week.....:hangloose:
|
My former boss at the dog/cat boarding kennel telling me not to sweat not finding a cleaning job, because she can offer me work here and there if I want it!!!!!!!! :koolaid::koolaid::koolaid::koolaid:
|
Skype time with my love.
|
instead of cake and ice cream, it's ice cream sandwiches and donuts!
Too cute I say :) |
A lovely hike up a mist shrouded mountain...
We climbed so high...I need to return sans mist and see what the view is like... I saw much flora and fauna....spring has definitely sprung :) |
Running into someone I hadn't seen in 20 yrs. I heard a cashier call her name, and I listened to her voice and was positive it was her. Then I questioned her about herself she gave me a vague answer then I ask her did u ever live at so and so...that sorta flipped her out. I told her who I was and she's like omg.... Chuckles...I wouldn't have known her had I not heard her name called and associated it with her voice and clearly she wouldnt have known me either. But the whole thing did make us both smile.

Watching lil guy eaglet and Mom having a tug of war over whatever she brought for breakfast this morning. He learned his lessons well. Fight for food, steal food, survive. Yesterday he waited 2 hours for his incredibly slow eating older sibling to eat the top half of a fish. When his favorite part, the lower half and tail, was free, he stole it like a pro and swallowed it in one gulp. Gross but works for him. Tough lil bugger. |
Lil guy's latest creative dining position
