Fun times at Ridgemont High...

LaVaughn and I went over to our aunt's as soon as we woke up today. It's been nearly 5 years since we've seen said people, so you can imagine our excitement. And of course, we took the joeys with us so that they could be loved on and kissed, which they were.

I'm SO happy that these particular joeys are angels. Neither one of them so much as peeped, even at the unknown hands that have never touched them. My aunt held Nala most of the time and the other said person held Simba. I can already tell that he's going to be a HUGE bra-baby. As soon as said person would hold him, he would dive down her shirt and go to sleep. So precious.

I think I mentioned this the other day, but my aunt and uncle got new iPhone's last week. Well, just so you know, I love them! Everytime I go to my aunt's house, I play with her phone. It's awesome! Especially the camera. Definitely one of my favorite features.

LaVaughn and I were considering getting an HTC One X, but I think we've both decided to save up for an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 5, depending on what we have at the time. We shall see!

While we were there, my uncle called and wanted to Facetime - the visual phone call - with my aunt. My aunt hates electronics, so you can imagine how that conversation went. After about 5 minutes of talking, my uncle just sat there, not saying anything and just staring at my aunt. Oy vey. She got tired of it and hung up on him. After she said goodbye, of course.

They're just so funny with their new phones.

LaVaughn and I decided to spend some time with the District 9 residents a little while ago. They're all so great. You remember the little chick that we saved, the one we were calling Mabel? Well she's a complete angel!! She's been named Audry, by the way. Ugh, I just love her to tears!

The Welshie ducklings are getting SO big! Their feathers are all starting to come in now, so you can really see how beautiful they're going to be! They're still skittish for some reason, but they do come up to our hands and nibble, food or not. I guess that's better than nothing.

Okay, I guess I'm going to go for now. I have to work tomorrow, so I better watch a movie and get my mind elsewhere. Let the anxiety filled night begin!

Love & Peace

Aunt Sharon with the joeys:

Sleepy joeys:

District 9:

The ducklings still love us!

Welsh harlequin ducks are the prettiest!

So are Ancona ducks. :)

Carter the flogger.

See! Mr. Friendly hates Carter!

Duck faces!

Pretty Welsh Harlequins.

Milla, the beautiful:

Is she not the prettiest dog ever!?!

Dog tongue!

Yes, dogs can smile. :)

Free at last...

Today was the first day in months that the fowl have been able to leave their pin and roam the yard. I don't believe I ever wrote about it, but the demon dog next door (Carly) killed 65% of District 9's inhabitants. I'm not going to rehash about what happened, so take my word that it was awful, disgusting and range inducing. I love animals more than anyone, but if I could have got my hands on that dog, I would have strangled her to death!

Okay, so not going there! The chickens, ducks and turkey all had so much fun today. They ran around eating bugs and grass, it was so nice to see. I wanted to stay outside for an hour and take photos of them, but decided that just a few would be okay and let them be. I definitely didn't want to ruin their first day out by chasing them around the yard with a camera, lol.

Love & Peace

Song of the day: Lonely Is The Night by Billy Squire  (so what, I have a song of the day again!)

 He loves being out.

Just look at Mr. Friendly's pretty face!

Camille's such a looker -- and super good bug catcher. :)

She's also very stunning to look at. 

Harley, being is pretty duckie self. 

And there's Miss Serafina next to him.

That would be Maggie May in front of Camille.

And lastly, our sugar glider girls: Violet (top) and Chloe (bottom).

Early December Musings...

I don't know about the rest of the people in the Midwest, but it most definitely doesn't feel like December! When I stepped outside a little bit ago, I could have swore it was March! The temperature outside right now is in the mid 60s and perfect! There's a slight breeze that wisps through your hair every little bit and makes you feel like a spring shower will soon follow.  Perhaps a cold front wont be far behind. Or perhaps it's  sign of impending doom!! That's for those of you that believe the world is going to end on the 21st of this month. That's also the day after my birthday - fun!

Since I finally got caught up on my blogging and stopped visiting GC so much, I actually made time to go outside and take some photos! Yes, outside photos! I must warn you, they're extremely boring! After fall and early winter kills all the flowers and trees - it leaves me with nearly nothing to photograph. Even all the bugs and insects are in hiding! I still managed to get a few good ones, though.

Aside from that, I also stopped in at District 9 and nabbed a few shots of the new additions, Carter and Harley. Of course, I got a picture of everyone else as well. Since we're down to so few chickens, it wasn't hard. Hopefully our numbers will grow in 17 days.

Alright kiddies, I believe that's all for now. I just got the message from my aunt that I need to stop by and help my uncle with his new laptop and Verizon 4G LTE Modem -  this should be a blast!

Love & Peace

And now for my photography seen around the yard!

A fallen feather from wars past...

A burr bush - ouch!!

Vibrant green leaves.

Decayed flower.

I like to call this the Post-Apocalyptic flower!

I think this is one of the only living flowers in the whole yard!

Spikes and concrete.

The vintage Primestar box! Never even knew this was on the side of the house.
