Big Picture Post!


Through the tangle of trees and vines, I saw the early morning sun shining on the east facing side of the house...coming home from our walk with Eli and Weetie.


Dear friends,


Thank you for the nice comments on my last post. Sorry for not getting back to reply to each one. One of these days! 

Oh, the sun has been shining warm and bright, and temperatures reaching 70 degrees yesterday and today...


My camera was in my pocket, for a change, so I took pictures of our walk...

and guess who tagged along with us...


going 10 miles per hour...




Can't you go any faster, asked Weetie!

Nope, and if you rush me, I won't go at all.

Need to come on. Poppy and Eli are leaving us! So we walk to the end of this road then turn around and... 

coming back to the house, we turn and go down a little path here at the end of the goat lot and that leads to the pond...

after weeks and weeks of dreary rainy weather and dark days...the sun makes it all look beautiful.

and since we pass the bunny lot on the way to the pond...
these are the three bunny condos I built using cinder blocks and tin. The bunnies seem to love them. I filled each one with lots of soft hay. 

Seeing as how this is a big picture post...here's another kinda neat one...

from the living room I noticed a Cardinal looking in the window. The flag was blowing behind him.

Maybe this second picture is better. Couldn't decide. I love it! Our State bird, the American flag!

It's bed time...I hear feet coming this way...Eli's and Poppy's. Better go. 

Love,
Henny

Shoot, I had the most adorable pictures of our little Great Grandson Kendall. Will post later.

  2. I love all the pictures of your walk Henny.....and when you said something was following you, I thought at first glance that it was a woodchuck!!!! Ha...but then I saw it was your Smokey! He is a beauty...especially that pic with the sun shining on his fur! Love that cardinal and flag pic too. Thanks for coming back so soon. Always a fun blog to read!

    1. Thank you Diane. You have put up with me long time. :) Yes, I thought Smokey looked like some wild animal too.

  3. You have such wonderful pictures Henny! I just love your place. The pictures of Weetie and Smokey are so cute. You are right, you just can't rush a cat and if you try they won't budge!

  4. What a wonderful post to wake up to, l've
    had breakfast, lemon tea, sat down, sun
    shining through the Paddington Bear curtains,
    and enjoying the photos..
    HeHe! Poor old Smokey, trying to keep up, and
    Weetie giving him grief..! :).
    But! Then! Everything stops for a pussy~cat..!
    Bet, he had a long sleep at home later..! :).

    I shall never get used to you calling that a
    pond, Henny! I'm afraid over here it would be
    a lake, and a BIG one at that..But then everything
    is so much bigger over there than here..l know l've
    experienced it..! And, l've always been pro American,
    and l do fly the American flag on the 4th of July!

    Well, best get on..got some washing to go out on the
    line, sunny but still cold..few things to see to, l
    like to keep busy..!
    Julie in New Zealand has posted, best get over there,
    but, first things first, another lemon tea..! :O).

    1. Ah, thank you Willie. Don't you just love the early morning sun shining through the windows. My only complaint is that it shows up all the dust in the house. Smokey does his own thing and it drives Weetie crazy. Those two are big buddies though. Wish you could see them playing together. Oh, I'll have to visit Julie's blog. She is so neat!

  6. Henny, wonderful Spring photos. Love the red cardinal and our American Flag. Looks great in the sun.
    Looks like the whole family took a great walk on the road, except Dumperoo. Imagine he is at home
    enjoying some sun puddle in the house. The rabbits look content and have an exceptional house to live in. Lynn

    1. Thank you Lynn. I sure wish Dumperoo would go outside with us. He is so afraid. If I leave the front door wide open, he will venture out onto the porch but dashes back in if we walk out.

  7. Good morning Henny, Loved the picture post! I think that's a very innovative way of making the bunnies little houses without breaking the bank and they are probably easy to care for. The bunnies love them! It looks glorious there, so spring is trying to show us her pretty face! Love the walk pictures too!

  9. I enjoyed the walk in your woods. Those look like such snug and comfy bunny houses. We haven’t seen our yard bunny for over a week and I’m worried about her/him.

  15. I enjoyed your walk! The bunnies certainly have a lovely setting, too! Have to mention I love the name Wheetie. What a sweet and clever name.

  16. I'm so happy to see the warmth of Spring happening here in New England! I love Spring and look forward to the many signs of it's arrival. I love your pictures of your walks and your hubby and animals. Love that your kitty walks along with you, all a part of your little family. Love the bunny condos, so cute and practical, too. The cardinal is so pretty and reminds us of our loved ones in heaven. Have a great weekend.

  20. Spring has certainly sprung where you are. The walk was so refreshing and no better company than Smokey to make it more enjoyable. I love little trips around your property and to visit the bunny pen. How I would love some bunnies. Peter Rabbit, the wild one, will have to do for now. 70 degrees sounds so wonderful. We won't be long now. Snow is melting away, birds are returning and the chips are running amuck. Love to all, Deb

  23. I am also enjoying this warmer spring like weather. Yesterday we had our first spring storm though, and I surely do not like those!
    Than you for taking me along on your walk. Have a blessed day!
