It was lonely without him even though we have plenty of other animals. Pasha was given to us and he may look charming and sweet, and that he is, however, he is a mighty hunter.

I was devastated when they sold it to Google who then discontinued it.<br /> <br />What you see in the photograph is a wasp nest. It fell out of somewhere around our house and the wind blew it to me. <br /><br />The goose egg was rolled in a water bath that had been spiked with 3 colors of nail polish. <br /><br />I am so envious. You are going to DC, a city I love but have only seen once. Have a wonderful time. <br /><br />Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-44840602553311426912015-03-25T21:40:18.943-06:002015-03-25T21:40:18.943-06:00Bonjour,

I do use it often to take out things like overhead wires and bits and pieces that make photos messing looking. I probably have some cobwebs in the corners of my rooms too - better check as I may need to 'clone them out' before posting pics! PicMonkey is such a great editing program - I've had the Royale membership since they first started and couldn't be without it - it's all I use along with the rather pedestrian editing program on my Mac.<br /><br />Is that a nest? If so, who made it? It's awesome. I love the egg also - know you probably created that beauty yourself!<br />Oh your Pasha is so perfect with those beautiful blue eyes and pretty fur that matches your upholstery by the looks of it!<br /><br />Yes, enjoy the week - we are off to DC on Friday and it looks somewhat chilly in the forecast. Never mind, I'll take it because I love that city where I lived many years ago, and a visit is always a lot of fun no matter the weather.<br /><br />Warm hugs - Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.com
