Happy Leap Day!

Leap day
Main article: February 29 (Wikipedia)

February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.

This barbedwire fence separates our pasture from our neighbor's property.

This week I was riding with my husband in our pasture,  feeding hay to the cows and checking on them.

I couldn't resist getting a  picture of this pretty country scene,  just outside our pasture, of the fence post and the wild plum tree in full bloom!

This is where "Emma Rose" wants to be ~ Always! She wants to be as close to my face as possible!

Here we are at my/our computer desk!

 She's such a needy and demanding little critter! Sure is lucky for her that I love her so much! Just imagine how it would be for me if I had to put up with all this from a little dog I didn't love! :)

 Emmy ~ you be lucky, girl!!

This is not a new photo but it's one I have always liked from a previous year.

Our citrus trees have suffered from the freezes of the past 3 years but this year (pictured) the oranges were at their best!

 This was probably taken in late Nov because that's when the fruit  is at it's peak!

This is a post remaining from what was once a board fence, separating our yard from the wildflower meadow at our place!

 

We now have old  farm tractor wheels in a row,

separating the yard from the spring wildflowers.

Stupid Little Accident...

(FaceBook-last night)

Stupid little accident a couple hours ago.... I was cleaning a spot on the carpet with some cleaner/spot remover. Saw the need to use a cloth to get rid of the lather so it could dry and then be vacuumed....Welll- somehow THIS happened as I moved the rag back and forth!

 I was afraid it was broken but Tina thinks it's not..however it hangs down in this ugly-strange way! :( I can't straighten the finger out...Strangely, it's not very painful and not swollen.

Typing with the other fingers...

 I was in the process of cleaning the house a bit for out of town company tomorrow . They are just stopping in for a quick hello and a "hug,"(our niece Kathy said) so maybe they won't look too closely at my house! :) Hope so because I can't do anything, at this point!

Charles got me this splint, hopefully, it will help.

 Meanwhile, I'm going to check out the TV...One of those,
 "It is what it is" moments!

Love,

Junie

 Back!! Torn ligament in the finger and have to wear the splint for 8-to 12 weeks! :( The doctor told me the finger would heal, and be functional without treatment, but it would always turn down (as in the picture)....but who wants a droopy finger? Especially that middle one!! haha!! Just kidding....I don't want ANY droopy fingers on my little hands!

One good thing in all this...I expect I will have to drastically reduce my time cooking dinner-etc-can't do much serious stirring with a messed up right hand!

Poem: First Signs of Spring

~
First Signs of Spring                                
I witnessed today
 the first signs of spring;
the billowy blossoms of the
 wild plum trees!
They seemingly mirrored,
 white clouds overhead.
…Except that these "Tree Clouds"
were covered with bees!

                

Bees working, in frenzy,
among the white puffs.
Seeking spring’s first nectar,
in this most welcomed fest!
I watched as this ritual,
 once more, did unfold.
They were in such a hurry,
never pausing to rest!

This first taste of spring,
as the bees drink it in,
brings enchantment to me.
Such a sight to behold!
Full circle, once more,

 the earth fresh and new.

  New life now awakens. 

 Spring, softly, unfolds.

Can't fence in these wildflowers ~~~ but who would want to try?

I love seeing them blooming along the roadsides, pastures and open meadows...and just anywhere else they happen to pop up. They bloom in early spring here and last for several weeks!

This picture is from another year but the Phlox (Pinks) will soon put on their show for this year!

They are very special to me!

 I bought these flowers today, in  shades of red and pink, to decorate my shelf in our entrance.

I like them arranged in that basket for my Valentine's Day decorating!

I hope I can keep them growing until  it's warm enough to plant them in our front garden!

Camera Critters~ (for Feb 4, 2012) A Variery of critters...

~~~

~~~Find more Critter posts here~~~

~~~

At my house this week I had a few encounters with some critters...

There's always something 'WILD' going on in the country!  :)

One day this week my son brought this little critter up to show me. He had rescued it from one of his cats.  Luckily, the little guy was unharmed,

and we  set it free in my courtyard ;

  far away from his kitties.

I can't identify this lizard, can you?

Last night I had these 2 visitors to my back porch. They had come to dine on the food my cats had left on their plate!

I don't mind them coming to eat the leftovers...however, my poodle, Emmy, went wild barking at them through the glass door.  I wish I could get better pictures but there's no way!

~~~

This is what Emmy does to her stuffed animal toys... Maybe she's thinking she could do that to those big old wild Raccoons.

Better think twice about that, Emma Rose!

~

Last, but certainly not least, (in size, that is) I went with my husband to the pasture yesterday to put out feed for the cattle.

  As big as these critters are, they are not at all intimidating,

.... but I don't get close enough to 'pet' them!

  :)

What critters have you seen recently?
