my female cockatiel,Maizey decided to lay eggs...so far she has 2 eggs and here she is sitting on them....not only does she sit on them but the male Spikes comes and takes a turn sitting while she leaves to eat.......
a glass of wine good friends and being with the people you love and care about is how we brought the New Year in....here's hoping we all have a super 2011......
this is kinda a unique plant I rec'd this Christmas...it is called a snow fern...quite dainty and takes a lot of water but is very pretty.......
lurking outside our front window under cover of night are these 2 deer...they are coming to our bird feeder...not eating anything from it just making a mess scattering the seeds....they are quite brave as my being outside our dogs barking and us watching them did little more than get them to raise their heads....
here are my Maizey bird's eggs.....I am hoping that after 28-31 days of her sitting on them we may have a baby bird or 2....this pair of birds I have have reared 7 babies over the past 3 years..it is quite novel having them laying eggs and to watch them and their behaviour.......this week has been quite the introduction to the New Year...besides all the activity of our birds and the deer ....we have managed to get most of the decorations down.....I have finished a knitting project and started another ...I am challenging making thrum mittens...for those of you who watch hockey the Junior Gold game was quite one for the books as we watched Russia snatch gold away in the third period........the weather has been quite nice one day and very cold the next...we have actually had smatterings of sunshine....it becomes quite depressing when we go days without the sunshine.....my health has been reasonably GOOD...I have very achy legs which do not fancy to weight bear and arms that are not to co-operative...but life goes on.....week 1 of this new year has been GOOD with it's ups and downs......Be GOOD to each other as we begin another week.......
