Three coons-- so cute and Sweet Bambi walking

Happy coming week-end dear friends! I love week-ends!!

The picture above is really a good one if I do say so myself!!! From left to right is --- Jackie, Donna standing and then Mary. Mary is my oldest coon now a days. She is 4 years old. I loved her mother so much and I miss her so. Three years ago there was a strange stray dog that took up just north of us and he ate almost all my coons!!!! I had been feeding 12 coons everyday and he got all but 3 coons. Mary was one who was smarter the that dog!! The other two were my oldest coons ever. Brother and sister coons, bitter enemies, Pretty boy and pretty girl. Pretty girl lived the longest of any coon I have ever known. She lives 8 years, her brother 7 and a half.

The picture below you all know is my wonderful rescue dog . We are going to celebrate her 13 th birthday in two weeks today!! Just 2 weeks to go!!!! I have never had a dog that old before!!

I have always had pretty big dogs and they have never lived that long. Joker made it to 12 yeas old and 2 months. I hope Bambi makes it to 14 or 15 years old!!!!!!

Bambi and I walk 3 or 4 times a day. She is really doing well on her mostly vegs diet. She gets hard boiled eggs and a little ground turkey or beef everyday too. Most of her lypoma's are gone and some have gone way down in size!!! The vet says he has never seen anything like it before!!

Have a fun and happy week end dear friends.

Love coming your way, Bambi & Fern

Dial Up

Hi blog friends. You all really came to bat for me yesterday!!!! Thank -you so so very much for all your good ideas!!! A Lot of you said don't worry about blogging everyday!!! I think you are right!! Most said blog about what I like and don't worry about trying to be interesting. GOOD advice!!!!
The first thing I would like to talk about is that I am on dial up!!!!!!!!!!! That makes for a lot of problems. One thing is when blogger is happy and will let me get to your blog it will only load 3 to 5 pictures in about 10 minutes and if I want more pictures I have to wait 10 or 20 minutes more (that is when blogger is playing!!) I really don't have that kind of time!!!!! So I usually don't wait for all the pictures to load and go ahead a comment without seeing all your pictures.
Am I the only one on dial up???????? It takes me (if Blogger will let me ) about 30 minutes a comment.

The crazy patch quilt is the first quilt I ever made. I made it in 97. It took most of that year to make. It isn't straight I really don't do much better now and it is b/c of the arthritis in my hands. It is hard to cut straight.

Thank-you all for all your kind help and I will try to get to your blog and answer your comments. I really love you all so much!!!!!!!
XXOO, Fern

Brain Freeze

Hi, my dear friends in blog land. I applaud all you bloggers who blog everyday!!!! I really don't know how you do that??? When going to my blog this AM and seeing there were no new comments I knew that I had to blog if I was going to hear from anyone!!! Please tell me how to blog everyday!! Where do the ideas come from?? I have one very big disadvantage. I have a very boring life in relation to your life. That boring life is not by choice!!
Really I would love to hear how you do think of things that are interesting to your blog friends.
I get a friend here in blog land and for a little while they come but then they lose interest and don't come anymore............. How do you keep their interest ????????????????????????

Love coming your way, Bambi & Fern

The week-end is coming

This is the picture I showed you a couple of posts ago, only it is in color as it should have been.
Bambi taking a leak in color!!!

Happy cat keeping track of things.

Bambi in her chair taken 3 years ago. She doesn't spend much time in her chair any more and I think it is painful to get in and out of the chair now that she is 21 people years older then she was then.

I have not been able to get on any blogs all day today. Not even mine. I tried tonight and got on just fine. Thats Blogger for you!!

I am glad it is the week-end. Tom will be home and I love our week-ends!!! I hope you have a good one.
Love coming your way, Happy, Bambi & Fern

The garden

Our garden is still producing even tho our yellow summer squash is done.. We still have butternut squash happily growing away!! Tom planted more butternut squash over the weekend. He also tilled a strip for radishes, Swiss chard, beets, garlic. We tried to grow beets last year and they didn't do well. Our Swiss chard did good and we only got a few radishes. We really have never tried to grow garlic before but we are going to try this fall. It is fun to have a garden and see what will be successful and what will not be. It makes you want to try again!!!

I wish we didn't have so many trees. We would grow a lot more stuff if we had more sun.

Love coming your way, Bambi & Fern

Happy Labor Day week-end!!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful safe holiday week-end!!! We are not going anywhere but intend to rest and enjoy each other!!

The coon above is Jackie and her baby who I have not named yet!!! I will not be seeing them much any more in the day time b/c as soon as it gets a little cooler they will sleep most of the day and be ready to eat at dark thirty.

I will not be on the computer much this weekend so be safe and have a good time!!!

XXOO, Bambi & Fern
