Petting My Pets

Posted on October 10th, 2008 by Jean

First, the small, furry creatures.
 

The Three Amigos
 
Making my way out the front door, the fish in the fountain need a bit of attention.
 

Here, fishy, fishy, fishy!
 
Next I arrive at the tortoise habitat.
 

I can’t identify them. Could be Eenie, Meanie, Miney, but not Mo. Mo died.
 
Lastly, I saunter over to see the horses.
 

Shilo was standing too tall to pet.
 
I have to apologize for these dinky photos. My camera batteries died, so I used my camera phone. All of the spare batteries were drained in these mini helicopters.
 

Men will be boys.
 
I can’t run out to the store for new batteries because the kids are sick. Tom can’t go because he’s re-seeding the pasture. Guess there’s only one thing left to do.
 

 
What? I’m just petting it.
 
Thanks for reading!

First Signs of Spring

Posted on February 12th, 2008 by Jean

It’s has been really warm here. See that 77? That’s us.
 

 
Here’s a sure sign it’s been warm.
 

 
One of our tortoises came out of hibernation. The kids wasted no time serving him a salad.
 

 

 
Then we rushed over to feed our gold fish.
 

 
We planted those flowers last weekend before the SuperBowl.
 
Pearl hasn’t been feeling well. She has a temp of 102, which drops to 99 after a dose of Tylenol. Even though her fever had dropped, she didn’t feel like smiling.
 

 
She soon decided she needed a break.
 

 
That was about all the fun she could handle today, and has since taken 2 naps.
