I recently ran across a website of miniature cottages, and I just adore it!! I wanted to share it with everyone, so I made a *special page* on my website to feature it :) It's under my "Fun" tab, "Miniture Cottages"... go check it out and enjoy cozy pleasures ;) And don't forget to go to Cynthia's website to see *MORE* of her cottages and minitures :D *EnJOY*

I had the neatest experience yesterday... I *love* wild animals, and I never grow tired of seeing them :) Every time I spot a deer, a rabbit, a bird~ or whatever I happen to notice~ it's like the first time I've ever seen one! My children (now that they're older) laugh at me, because I get all excited and "ooh" and "ahh" as if I've never seen the animals that fill up nature before. But... that's just me :) I *love* them. And the rare occassion of seeing a fox, an owl, or something that isn't an every day occurance-- is *special* :) I had one of those moments yesterday :)
We were in a park where there were a lot of trees... and a lot of... squirrels :) It was such a pleasure for me to be able to watch them play, eat and bury nuts, and climb the trees :) One little squirrel was working so hard to get in and out of the trash can to eat someone's left over fries... you should have seen it balance itself on the top and eat its fry! lol!! Another little one was so busy burying its nut that it didn't seem to notice me getting closer and closer to have an UP-CLOSE view. It was so cute! It's little paws working so hard to dig, hide the nut, and then pat the earth securely on top :D Amazing, smart little creature :) Then... it turned around, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE... and CAME right up to me!!!! It's little nose twitching and sniffing, looking for a morsel :) I was so surprised they were so used to people! I went to the van to get a grape to offer to my new little friend. Cameron went with me, and we held out the grape... the little squirrel came right up and put its tiny paw on my finger as it snatched the grape with its teeth-- QUICK AS A FLASH!! I was so excited!! How neat was that?? :D It didn't run off, either. It moved about a foot away to eat the grape and then came up to Cameron, sniffed, put its paw on his finger and licked his finger-- and was gone, quicker than we could blink! What fun!! :D That just made my day... and I wanted to write it down, so I can re-read it when I'm feeling low-- and remember the simple joy of a little squirrel! :) Look How Cute!!!!I recently found this ADORABLE website that features the original creations of Maggie Rudy. I even fixed a page to feature *my* personal favorites :) You can go to the dropdown tab under my *FUN* page and view "Mouses Houses" :) To see ALL of Maggie's little mice and to see her book "The House That Mouse Built", you can go directly to her BLOG: www.mouseshouses.blogspot.com |
