Another Hot Day





We are really getting very tired of days over 100 degrees that feels like 110 to 115 degrees!!!!!!
No rain in over 2 weeks!!! We are working hard to keep the garden going!!!!! The garden has slowed down but we are still eating tomatoes and peppers and herbs from the garden every day!!! This weather is so hard on everybody. The coons sit in their water a lot!!
Have a good week end!

Abby's Two Babies





I have writers block!! What to blog about??? Well today I got the first baby coons pictures of this season. The adult coon is Abby. The two other coons in the pictures are Abby's two babies!!! I have not gotten close enough yet to tell weather they are girls or boys. Today was a very big step. Abby's babies will show the others that they can come and eat with their mothers without danger!!

Seeing and Hearing


Have you ever thought about what a blessing it is to be able to SEE !!! I think about it everyday!!! To be able to HEAR !!!!! I think about these things everyday!!!!!! Why????
Because I am legally blind in one eye !!!!! Don't see too good out of the other!! When I look at the computer screen all I see is blur!! It takes my glasses and store bought magnifying glasses and a magnifying glass to see the screen!!!!!!!!!!! If I make an error please forgive me. I can't always see it!!! I am stone deaf in my left ear!!! If we are sitting and my left ear is facing you I can no t hear anything you say. I have to have my good ear facing you to be able to hear you!!!
Yes I need new glasses but we can't afford them. Tom needs new glasses too. Tom needs surgery more!! It is getting closer to his surgery!! Pretty soon!!
Heat is what we have today!!! I hope you all have the very best week end you can have!!!
Love coming your way, Bambi & Happy

July 20th 2010




Hi blog friends,
Friends on the Internet are my only friends. Oh of course I have Tom. But he is at work all day long. The location of our land is a factor too. I live in the woods!! No close neighbors. The critters are my friends!! The coons, well the older ones know that Bambi and Happy are friends too!! They are not afraid of them at all. The babies freak out at the sight of me and Bambi though. Yes we have babies!!! No pictures for a while. They have to get use to me out there with them, then I can get a picture. So soon as I get one you all will know!!!
Love coming your way, Bambi, Happy & Fern

The Name Game --late late late


Thanks Frankie for the Name Game. I know I am late late!!!!! But here gos anyway.

Bambi my sweet rescue dog. She was left at the animal shelter in Tally town when she was just a little puppy. They found a home for her in just 3 days. In a week she was brought back to the shelter. It took a couple of weeks to find someone else who wanted her. It was a lady who had never had a dog in her life and the lady had just lost her husband and wanted a dog for company. She had Brandy for several weeks Had her spayed. Before the stitches were out she took her back to the shelter. Said she couldn't do anything with her!! I had called and asked about any dog who had Whippet or greyhound in them. They said yes they had a dog who was spayed and had a create that was part Whippet. They said her name was Brandy. I went and got her. She was so sick. I wanted to take her to the vets on my way home but couldn't. Had to wait for the next day. She was about to die with kennel cough. The vet said I got her just in time.
She is a wonderful dog!!! She always try to please!!!
Tom and I don't drink at all. We are tea totalers!! So instead of Brandy she is called Bambi.
This is Happy!! On New Years day 98. The first day of 98 this kitty comes walking up to Tom who was working out in the yard. She was talking up a storm!! She was saying Hi I want to live with you!! She came in had some food and has been here ever since. What to call her?? Well, it was very clear that she was very happy with her pick of homes. So I decided to call her Happy!
She is still Happy with her pick 12 and a half years later.


Bambi has been here 12 years and 7 months.
So gos the name game!!
Love coming your way, Happy, Bambi & Fern
