This last weekend the husband and I along with the youngest one spent the weekend down in Spring Green. We were going to go to House on the Rocks. We were very lucky to find a motel room for the night. If you are wondering what House on the rocks is well, it's a house that was built on top of rocks back in the fifties by a man named Alex Jordan. It open to the public in 1960. It's an amazing place.The most amazing room in the Infinity Room which project about 218 feet out. It contains over 3000 windows. At almost the end is a place where you can look down to the floor of the woods below. He also enjoyed collecting things. It's a collection of collections. In 1968 the next part opened called the Millhouse. Collections included dolls, mechanical banks, paperweights, guns (some looked very strange), things that play all kinds of music plays in different areas. By putting a special token or two in different boxes you could play these different kinds of music. The next part o...

After I got home from work today I heard about the death of Farrah. I knew she had been battling cancer for a few years. She gave one of the bravest battles I think she could. She fought till the very end. We all know she had an amazing career as an actress. She had a one of kind smile. And hair that seam to stand the test of time. She will be missed by everyone. My heart goes out to her son and Ryan O'Neil. The sad part about her going is that her death will be shoved into the background because of Michael Jackson also dieing. I knew he would die at a young age because of the strange things he did to his body over the years. Like everyone else I grew up listening to his music. I enjoyed the cartoon that was done about The Jackson Five. That is when I knew he loved animals like I did. But the sad part is the older he got the more lost he became. He made so many bad chooses. Including all the things he did to change his body. We will never know for sure what really drove him to do t...

I decided to take a picture of the baby Phoebe's. As you can see there are four. I'm guessing that by this time tomorrow they might all have flown away, maybe. It's about 90 here right now. Watching them they look like they are trying to push each other off. The weather here has gotten very hot. Too hot for me. Yesterday we got over two inches of rain in a short period of time. I was at work and did not know this until I got home. In a small village not far from here they got over 9 inches of rain in just a very short time. The one thing they keep saying is it's going to rain every other day. There is a chance of rain tonight, I think. Thought of the day: "If uncertain of the wisdom of an action, don't!"

It's Summer Time! I will spend this first day of summer at home doing the usual house and yard stuff. The husband will be baling hay. I'll more then likely take him somewhere to eat for Fathers Day after wards if he is not to tired from baling hay. That's my day in a nut shell. Nothing exciting. Yesterday morning the husband and I went for a three mile walk around the block. Saw allot of squished critters on the road. Like snakes, birds, one rabbit, one turtle and one snapping turtle dead on the side of the road. We scared one momma turkey and about five babies. The babies flew in every which direction while the momma ran across the field. I know boring. Momma Phoebe has three babies in the nest. Boy are they growing fast. I suppose that before the end of the week they will be big enough to fly away. I want to try and maybe get a picture of them sitting by their nest before they do fly away. I just wonder if she will have a second batch and if she does will she use the sam...

It's a quiet Sunday Morning as usual. I'm up a little earlier then I wanted to be because the husband was starting to snore a little to loud for me to continue to sleep peacefully. Anyway nothing exciting has been happening around here. Here are a few bird updates: Mama Phoebe Bird has hatched her nest. I have not looked to see how many but I know there is at least one. I'm trying not to disturb her to much, she could become an attack bird if she feels that I'm threatening her nest. A number of the Robin nests have already hatched out and the babies flown away. At least one is on her second batch of babies. Our baby chicks are doing very well. The husband even got a few more the other day. Now when he has time he has to make a pen for them to go outside. Right now he is starting to bale hay now that the weather if finally warming up and hopefully it will not rain for a few days till he can get some off and sell it to people who are waiting for it. Here are few things I...

Last year I showed pictures of what a bear can do to a corn field well, the tales continue. It looks like there are at least three bears in the neighborhood. A big one on this side of the road. At least that is where it is always seen. There are two different size ones that have been seen on the other side of the road. They keep taking down and destroying bird feeders. The smaller of the two last Friday at about 4:30 pm was in a neighbors yard and as she watched it, it started heading to a workshop where her husband does wielding. It almost went into the shed but did not. This smaller bear is going to be in allot of trouble because right now it does not seam very afraid of people. When someone tries to yell at it to make it run away it just kind of slowly looks at the person and very slowly starts to walk away as if to say "All right I'll go, for now. But I'll be back soon to finish what I started." The other night I guess the neighbor to the north at me shot a coupl...

I watched a show last night on ABC about what things could happen from now until 2100. It was a story that followed a woman born I think on June 2 2009 or sometime like that. It could serve as a wake up call for allot of people. Allot of those things will happen at some point but when is a mystery. I think one thing that could help, is if the human race as a whole would admit that there are too many people on this little planet. We are using it up at a pace that the Earth can not handle. We are no different then other animals. When there are too many of them in some areas at some point they get sick and allot die. Eventually their numbers do come back but then the cycle just keeps repeating itself over and over again. Some people do live by the belief "Be fruitful and multiply". I ask to what point? When some people can not have babies maybe it's natures way of saying there are to many people and I choose you not to reproduce. I know it's hard to except but who ever ...
