Mon Bouquet du Jour

It's raining outside.

 I am happy.

The planned picnic will be inside today. 

We need the rain.

Hansel is standing watch over Gretel who is across the pond sitting on her nest.  

Can you see her, way across the pond?  

My Pheasant Eye Daffodils love the rain. 

And so do I.

Have an extra special weekend my dear Friends.

A Cougar in town ?

Why?

Calgary Herald

A new neighbor posted this on Facebook yesterday. 

"One of my girls said she saw a cougar outside our front door today about 4:00. Do they come into town often? This was in the area of 400 s 100 e, just off Main Street. She's not sure which way it went, keep a look out for it..."

Now I have 2 choices for my walk today.

I can go across the fields and go west from our house 
OR

I can walk to the Post Office, a mile away and where the cougar was spotted.  

Two days ago I took a new trail.  It was a game trail, very narrow with high sagebrush on either side and very remote.  

It was a beautiful walk but I felt as if several eyes were watching me.  I decided to take turns whistling and singing so as not to surprise an animal (or me). 

Don't think that I will be going that direction for a while. 

Happy trails to you my dear friends.

Easter Eggs Revisited

Our young goose drops her eggs willy nilly everywhere.

The lightly colored eggs are goose eggs, 

the dark are chicken eggs.

The chicken eggs are hand painted with acrylic paints. 

The goose eggs are rolled in a batch of water that has been spiked with 3 different colors of nail polish. 

I used sparkly red, gold and silver.   

Happy Easter my dear Friends.

A little blue flower

With the most charming name,

Forget-me-not

They say that blue flowers are more abundant in nature than any other color. 

 I thought that yellow flowers were the most common. 

What do you think?  

Have a lovely day my
dear Friends.
