Been a Busy Month...

Please forgive my lack of posts to this blog lately.  It's been a busy month.  We've had a lot of snowy weather, which has been beautiful, but it has presented challenges, too.  We're still working on getting my grandmother moved to an assisted living facility, and praying that THIS is the week that it happens.  You can learn more about that journey on The Deli... my blog for such things.

Meanwhile, here are a few pictures of the last beautiful snow we had in February... spring is surely on its way, and I'll post more soon!

BIG Bird!

Greg snapped these photos of a pileated woodpecker feasting at our suet cake on Wednesday. We see one quite often - possibly this same bird. He is amazing... and very big! Keep in mind, the suet cake cage is about 5" x 6"!

 

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It's been wayyyy to long since I've updated this blog.  Been busy with Christmas, antiques, and getting my grandmother admitted to an Assisted Living Facility, with a little Timothy time and "life" thrown in as well.  We have now had two nice snows...each about 4" or so.  The bluff is beautiful in snowfall... and more is predicted.

We're enjoying watching the birds... have a pileated woodpecker who is frequenting our suet cake with the downy and hairy woodpeckers.  The cardinals are always fun, and we're having quite a few pine warblers.  Greg is staying busy keeping sunflower seeds in the feeder!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had lunch at my mom's house today.  There were ten adults and Timothy.  Mom's sister, Diane, drove down from Fayetteville to join us.  I don't think I had seen her in almost nine years.  I messed up and deleted some early photos from my camera, so I am missing some shots of Greg with Timothy and some darling pictures of Timothy helping his Papa Lee load the dishwasher... as fast as Lee put in silverware, Timmy took it out or rearranged it!  And a good time was had by all!

Halloween on the Bluff

I have tons of cute pictures from Halloween, but uploading them on this blog is taking FOREVER... the new blogger upload device is not user friendly for vertical shots! Sooo you will just have to go to my Facebook page to see all of the cute photos. BOO!

Chili Supper on the Bluff

We had "chili supper" for my family one evening in late October.  We invited my mom and her husband Lee, my sister and her husband Mike, Mam-ma Polly, Jasmine and her boyfriend Jamison - and Timothy, of course!  We also included my cousins - the "Falls" - Janette, Natalie and Darrell and their children - Olivia and Owen, and Franklin and his wife Tracy.  We had such a good time... Timmy had never met Owen and Olivia, and he was enthralled with them.  Everyone enjoyed visiting and watching the kids play and dance.  As we like to say in our family... "A good time was had by all!"
