5:25 Little Mary will have a boy in June. I am glad for her. Bash will have a little brother. Debbie getting an important medical test today.  I am scared for her.
Nice out this morning.  Eleven degrees at 10:53, but cloudy.  Not much on my agenda.  Pay some bills.  Do some house keeping.  Eat. LOL  Then Eat some more.  My belly is so big I can't see my toes.  Karen says I need more veggies.  I will wait for them to grow.  Then get some. LOL
Now, you guessed it, I will go get some more to eat. Just my second coffee though, and pay some bills so I can stay here.

 Kew Train ...  32:08     72°  (3:12 pm)    Sunny, clear, and breezy.

I hope you are having a decent day.

Cal     I bet it feels good in the barn, I would be freezing, but you are back to what you are used to.  It is a relief for your furry and feathered kids, I'm sure. 

Joho     I pray that Debbie comes out alright with her test.    I also congratulate you on a new little boy for your family.  I hope that Bash and his little brother to be very close.

Fox, Deer, Birds, Puppets, and a Loss - UPDATE January 17, 2024

Red fox male
The red fox came for supper around six and was nice enough to give me a brief glance saying ‘That was good’ with his tongue.

Deer buck dominating

Deer a plenty
Deer a-plenty

Yesterday was more deer (21) flooding in for supper at six than I can ever remember counting. They heard the no-shell peanuts leave the scoop and hit the ground and came in from all directions. I could only get 18 of them in the picture at once. Most ate peacefully, which is not always the case. The day before, a big buck dominated three smaller ones by standing up and showing his sharp hooves as they scattered.

A couple days ago, this beautiful blue jay showed me a peanut it had stolen from the deer and how it holds it to peck tiny pieces from it.

The loss is 72-year-old Mary Anderson whose obituary said:

“After watching a bear cub webcam, she fell in love with a cub one winter which led her to become a volunteer and member of the North American Bear Center at Ely, MN, where she made many friends from across the country and around the world.”

Mary is also the one who designed and made many puppets for the ‘Educational Bear Boxes’ that we sent to many schools. Mary is yet another dear person who developed a heart for bears and helped spread the truth about these animals whose welfare depends on people’s attitudes. I remember with gratitude how much she did to further the mission we share.

4:58 Good Dog! Now clean it up. What a big mess for such a little puppy.
 Wow! on Doc's pics . Wow!  I will try to use one for my wallpaper.  i think the red fox, but maybe the dominator buck.  We'll see.
Yes, Bash will be a good big brother.  His Dad, Matt, has a sister, Victoria, and they are very supportive of each other. Bash's mother, Mary, has a big brother, Brian, and a little sister, Shannon, and Mary is very helpful to them both. For example Shannon once drove her jeep off Brian's driveway into the ditch while making tracks in the deep snow for me to use the drive.  Did she call me to get her out?  No, she called Mary, and Mary got her out.  I found out about it days later. I was jealous.  I like to do that kind of stuff.  I don't feel it is "Women's" work to get cars out of wintery ditches.
 So they will be good mentors to Bash and his brother.
We will be praying that Debbie gets relief from her disability soon.  She needs comfort and strength.  That is what I am praying God brings her soon.
OK, now second coffee won't make itself.  So CUL EV1 GBU,Israel, and Ukraine.

Weather says heavy snow tonight and tomorrow.  I been on the phone for 45 minutes trying to change the dat or get confirmation someone will be there.  They are in the snowbelt.  I think I will just cancel or move to a closer place. It is for Mohs surgery.

Still on the phone with Clinic. On hold. I will just go.  I will start earlier and take main roads. I am a good winter driver, and these tires do grip snow well.
 If I cancel I may have to wait months to get in.  I cannot wait on hold any longer.  I am missing LUNCH! CU!

[calihoula]

 El Paraiso ...  46:14      71°  (5:56 pm)   It was sunny.

Cal   I felt so bad for your friend's Donkey, you're right, I'd bring him in the house.


Joho     I think Bash and the new little one will have plenty of good examples to follow in your family.  You all seem to care about each other, as well as your friends.  That is really nice.
