April 15, 2010 The View that No One Ever Sees!

Our house faces south toward the ravine and the woods.  No one ever sees it from here.  The porch is outside my studio.

Turn left at the wind chimes and follow the path to the creek!

April 10, 2010 'Roundface' is a Sweet ol' Boy!

'Roundface' is so cute the way he sleeps with his back legs pulled up to his face, while his left front leg drapes across them to hold them there!  His 'elbow' on that front leg was broken (before he decided to live with us) and is about the size of my wrist.  His tail is also broken.  He was a true feral cat.  
He is the sweetest ol' huggy bear and loves to sleep on my lap!

April 9, 2010 Everything's Green and Blooming!

'Yam' and 'Bump' are enjoying the sunshine!

April 8, 2010 Night Lights!

April 5, 2010 "Play Ball!"

Here is our Nolan Ryan autographed baseball, a library pin from the second grade (I  was an avid reader),
and a porcelain doorknob presented to me on Valentine's Day  by a fellow painter in the art department.  He scoured everywhere for old 
doors to paint on  since he couldn't afford canvas!

April 3, 2010 Bump Enjoys This Beautiful Spring Day!

I  enjoyed watching Bump as he surveys his domain!

April 2, 2010 He was busy, busy, busy, all morning!

This little guy had already created one pocket for his nest and I decided not to bother it.  It will be small, they will hatch, and then I will remove it. Until then, it really is fascinating to watch!
