New Residence.. Part 2

I didn't post this update originally, but the Momma apparently didn't have a BF on the first go around. I saw the nest empty for two days and went and looked and found unfertilized eggs. I removed the eggs so the nest would be clean and every day I looked to see if the mourning dove had come back.

This morning, I woke up and checked and YES she is back - sitting on her nest and this time she was doing a pretty dance and calling for her hubs. I was so excited!

Then about 2 hours later I looked and was even more excited to see that her hubs was there! YES! I think this time we are going to have two little mourning dove babies in the tree!

Here is a picture. I cant tell who is momma and who is dadda - but one is sitting on the branch of the tree and the other is in the little nook on the nest (you kinda see the tail). I love this picture since the cherry blossom tree is blooming right now too.

Tangible End..

Well, today was the official tangible end of the "Forever" relationship. Stuff was exchanged via my garage while I was at work. I know, its been almost a year now and it was time.

The intent was for him to get his things since I had some valuable items of his. The result was that he left a box of my stuff in the garage for me, even though I had expressed immediately after the break-up and also a few more times, that I didn't want the things back.

I didn't want my items back due to what the box of items represented. (If you know me or the situation you most likely know what I mean) I had hoped to not have the last imagine in my mind be the box and the stuff inside.

Everyone has different views, but mine is that I am sad that he and I don't have any type of email or whatever friendship that allows us to stay in some sort of contact. It's hard to spend 10 years with someone and then act as if they have died. I know I am more of a sentimental person then most, so I accept that most people are okay with it and that my views are somewhat out there.

Anyhow, to anyone reading - I hope you express to your loved ones how much you love them on a regular basis, and I hope that you never sacrifice anything about yourself to make someone else happy.

New Residence

I woke up this morning and was making jokes to myself as I saw it was snowing. April snow showers bring May flowers. I was looking out the front window and admiring the snow, when I noticed a new resident in the birds nest from last year. I didn't take it down like I read you should do, I didn't see the point. So now a morning dove has made it her own. I am not sure if she has babies under there - but she has an intent look on her like she does.

I wonder if I should put a bird feeder out front to help them, or if it will cause more of a distraction.

To Everything Turn, Turn, Turn...

Hello B-Log (did you know the cool kids call it Be-Log). I am sorry for neglecting you lately!

Last night as I was on the way home from work, I talked to a good friend who I hadn't caught up with in a few weeks. It was nice to chat. I am looking forward to our girly night were planning with movies and Smirnoff's!

I stopped at Meijer to get Miss Kenya some cat food, was feeling like a good mom so I also got a small plastic bag of cat-nip for the kitties too.

Was feeling like Amy needed something special so I bought myself some awesome shower wash with little scrubby beads that smells good and leaves me sooooo soft! Nice!

As I was leaving Meijer I caught of wif of the air and realized I could smell rain coming and it bought a smile to my face. I love when I can smell rain, the air is so neat then. I rode the short dive home with the windows down enjoying the change of seasons.

Came home, took a shower and started dinner - only to find that Mr. Bassa decided he smelled something good in my bags and got out the little catnip bag and was trying his best to rip it open. When I caught him he had only slobbered it to death! So then they all had their little highs going - Kenya was paranoid for a good hour afterwards.

My mom accepted a new position last night! I am so proud of her, shes worked really hard to be where she is right now and I am admire her for it. Its hard to make a change and I know what shes going though right now. I love you Mom, for everything you are and for all that you have taught me!

Change is among us! Seasons, lives and expectations.
