SOL 6/23/15 - One Thing that I'm Going to Miss (Sometimes)





While there are many things that I'll miss about living in our log home, there is one in particular that brings much enjoyment (sometimes) into our lives.

We have an over abundance of wildlife in our area, especially the deer population which has grown to become a nuisance to many.  I love to:




watch them grazing across the yard
lolling in the grass
looking at Max as if to say "Who are you and what are you doing in our yard?"
snorting at us, warning us to get away
posing for pictures
waiting for the little ones to be born
watching their antics as they play and feed
seeing them grow and mature
watching Mama's nurturing and guidance

Yes, I'll miss seeing these creatures on a daily basis.

But, then there are the times when:

flowering plants have gone from beautiful blooms to nothing!

    As with all things in nature, there is beauty as well as destruction. Although the sights from your new home will be different, I am sure that there will be many beautiful new things to see and enjoy.

    I love the bunnies and the squirrels, but this year we planted a garden. Should I say goodbye now to the tomato and pepper plants?
    (p.s. SO excited for your move! Hang in there!)

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
