Another Pretty Day

While outside this morning, I was shocked to discover how our little bird visitors are used to company. While me and the dogs were out there, they just stayed put and talked to us.

At one point, Maddie walked right underneath the birdfeeder and that bird wasn't scared in the slightest. It was a trusting little thing.

We put out our Easter scene the other day, but might take it down since the house is on the market. It might be smarter not having something 'holiday-ish' sitting out.

We still haven't bought any nice flowers for it anyway.

I named them all a while back:

Father: Finnigan / Mother: Rebecca
Girl bunny: Polly / Boy bunny: Patrick
Chick #1: Lily / Chick #2: Westley
Sheep: Owen

The Waiting Game

I'm bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, boRED, BORED!!!

Things I've learned since we put the house on the market:

- A clean house is like a watched pot that never boils.

If the house is clean, no one will come.

- Dust is a real, living entity. It breeds, and once you think you've nuked the last dust bunny, you'll be proven wrong because once a sunbeam comes through a window you'll see that the air is filled with them.

It's like witnessing a dust bunny family reunion.

- Pet hair... it keeps the dust bunnies company. It will never, ever leave.

- Kitty litter... See "Pet Hair" and "Dust Bunny" above.

Lovely Day

- I saw two of our bluebirds today. I wonder if one of them is Duncan?

Or FIEVEL all grown up? Ya never know.

- We had to stop feeding the birdies so that this hawk will stop hanging around here. We'll stop feeding them for a couple weeks, until that hawk knows there aren't any birds over here anymore. I hate that we have to do this, but it's safer for them this way.

- Gave the dogs and cat their baths today.

While I was grooming Wendy, she tried giving me a near death experience.

- The weather today was BEAUTIFUL, so Mom, Dad, myself and ALL the pets hung out in the backyard.

While out there, I groomed the doggies some. Izzy was not very happy about that, but I'm glad I did it. I'm not nearly finished, but it's a start.

While I wasn't grooming Izzy, she was sitting in the safety of Mom's lap. Lol! Maddie of course wandered everywhere, but her favorite spot was in the flowerbeds. I guess she isn't a fan of staying clean after a nice bath.

The cats were LOVING that sun. It was a constant battle making them stop eating the grass though. It's too bad the weather isn't like this in the summer.

When I win my millions I'm definitely going to have one of those outdoor cat enclosures. It's gonna be one with platforms and which goes up into the trees and everything. They would be on cloud nine if they had one of those.

- While I'm feeling sooooo much better, I'm afraid Dad is now getting sick.

I feel so guilty. This is his first vacation he's taken, and now he has to go back and he'll be sick.

Feeling Blah!

I think I caught a little bug from school; a cold I think, and a cough. Last night I couldn't sleep, and now I'm waiting for the real estate agent to show up. She has to put the sign in the yard and put up the lock box/key.

Mom and Dad left for Austin this morning (they're spending the night), so it's just me and the girls here. Someone will be looking at the house tomorrow, and I really hope no one comes by today.

Well, actually I would prefer that over having to entertain the agent. At least when someone comes to see the house, I'm not around.

I kinda want to walk down to the gas station (it's right at the entrance of our neighborhood) and pick up some Cherry Luden's cough drops.

Really, I just want to go to bed and sleep.
ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Chickadees & Canarys, Oh My!


Current Mood: Photobucket

Last night I had another nightmare about my little canary (Westley) that passed several years ago, and then a lot of just plain strange dreams I can only recall bits and pieces of.

In one, there were little baby chickadees everywhere! I don't know why, but we were in the garage. There was a hole at the side of our recycling bin, and they all scampered through it and to the other side. I was petrified of Wendy Kitty catching one of the little guys.

When I looked it up in a dream dictionary, it read:

"To see a chickadee in your dream, indicates that you need to pay attention and become aware of something unique and special occurring in your life."

"To dream that you are in a garage, signifies a period of inactivity and idleness in your life. You feel that you are lacking direction or guidance in achieving your goals."

The first part makes no sense to me, but the last part definitely does.

I really wish these nightmares about Westley would stop though. It was really horrible, and these Westley dreams always have the same theme. Honestly, I don't even want to write it down because it was so terrible and VERY unsettling.

Maddie is one happy girl today! Dad came home for his first visit from out of state, so she's pretty psyched.

Izzy is kind of a basketcase though. She won't let me go outside or inside the house without her.
