I thought that I was going to be able to give a good news update on Baby Jay but all of that changed last night. Jay's parents were able to bring him home from the hospital on Thursday but due to rapid breathing and an accelerated heart beat, he was taken to the emergency room at 11:30 pm and admitted to the Children's Hospital once again. Please pray for guidance and wisdom for the doctors as they try to diagnose little Jay's problem. And...please be in prayer for his parents and sisters that they might have peace and comfort during this time. I'll keep you updated.
Thursday night I was sitting on my back porch watching my birds enjoying their bird feeders when I realized that a deer family was slowly making their way towards my yard. I ran to get my camera and when I returned I saw the smallest deer I have ever seen in my life! This fawn could not have been any larger than my brother's dog, Sophie. Oh....it was just the cutest thing you've ever seen. I only saw what I assume is "momma" and the little baby. I tried to get pictures but it heard my camera and ran.
Same story Saturday morning. I was watching the birds while eating breakfast on the porch when I realized that momma and baby were in the woods again. I tried to get some pictures but then my dad (who lives next door) started up the tractor and the little family took off. Yet again, the pictures aren't good enough to post. :-(
However, I do have some happy news to report. I have been having a terrible time keeping ants out of my hummingbird feeder. Well, I hadn't been able to keep them out UNTIL I talked to one of the workers at Wild Bird Center and she showed me an extra ant moat that I could buy for my feeder. So far, it has worked wonders. No ants! Here's a picture:
Your eyes are not deceiving you...that is a little hummer on the right side of the feeder.
A few moments ago I looked beside me and saw that Greta is with me. She is sitting beside a pile of dirty clothes and a plant that has some serious health issues.
The poor cat grew tired of having the camera in her face so she jumped into my chair.
I probably shouldn't admit this but the white box in the background held a chocolate round cake that I bought at Dean & Deluca. It was pretty awesome.
I'm lol at the last paragraph about the white box & the cake it once contained! I bet it was good! We have seen some smaller (not tiny) deer in our woods recently, too, but they are darn elusive to catch on camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the hummingbird on the feeder!
