The Eagle at Hidden Falls

A couple of months ago my husband took some footage of one of the bald eagles that we tend to see in late winter or early spring. This eagle was across the river behind the house, perched above the waterfall. They like to fish from there as well. I love it when we see eagles … in any case, here is the video.

Finally Something to Write About

A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog, but nothing that I felt like posting on this blog. I suppose anything I had to say was either too personal, or too business.

Why I Haven’t Posted and the Elephant Who Draws Better than Me

I want to tell you about the elephant who draws better than me. Now, I admit it, that’s not saying much. I mean, really no competition there. Some people were born to draw, some people weren’t.

Koko

Koko

Yesterday at 8 am we left to drive to the city in search of kittens. We had specifically decided that we wanted to adopt a brother-and-sister pair.

Each litter was in its own austere, steel cage.

Alarm Clock on Wings

Alarm Clock on Wings

Almost every morning the robin redbreast tries to break into my bedroom window. He flies at the window, backs up, and charges it again. I’m not sure what he is trying to do – maybe trying to get me out of bed. If I sit up and yell at him he goes away.

Rain, Rabbits, and a Creaky House

Rain, Rabbits, and a Creaky House

When you say the word “rain forest” to many people, they instantly get the concept of a tropical rain forest. Not all rain forests are tropical. I live in a rain forest in the Pacific Northwest. Its very non-tropical, and its very rainy.
