miscellaneous

home! home! home!  i've been home for almost one entire week.

being in tennessee then back on the farm has afforded me the opportunity to enjoy the coming of spring twice. i left tennessee having seen the spring bulbs bloom and arrived in illinois to watch them emerge here.

it appears that a few of the female kitties were busy while i was away.  they are expecting.  all kitties are accounted for except one.  hopefully she'll come home as i have called for her several times a day every day.

doggie got home from her doggie friends' house and made herself right at home. she remembered where her treats are!

wood ducks!  lots and lots of wood ducks have been visiting the farm's lake.  also the canada goose pair.

my friend kathy and i were in the driveway upon arrival last sunday evening. movement by the lake caught my attention.  as the heron took flight across the lake i said, "look! the heron!"   wow!  the heron was barely in the sky and i saw a huge bird almost overhead!  "look! the eagle!"  double wow!  such a welcome home!
