Day 1 - March 30, 2011 - THE BIRDS

Yes, I decided to go for it again....
another 365 days of posting something!
So today I start out with BIRDS.
And this post is for my friend P2..
more wildlife from my backyard P2.

Came home yesterday afternoon from work and
spotted this really BIG bird in the backyard at
the end of the drive. I only noticed him cause
he was big and I knew he was not my regular
visitor.

I ran in and got the camera and tried
to get close but before moving in
on him I got this shot...he was eating
on what I think was a small bird cause
I found the feathers. I know its
not a great shot but I think it
is a hawk?

Apparently Mr. I think he is a hawk has
moved in around me somewhere cause
this evening as I pulled into the drive
again, I noticed him sitting in the tree over
the drive. Went in for the camera but he
got away.

Next I watched this Chickadee land
on a branch so I went after him with
my lens.
Beautiful red bird just sitting pretty for me.
And here is a male and female red bird....sitting
in a tree, first come love, second comes marriage
then comes Ms. Red Bird with a baby carriage!
See what I mean? So glad I caught this shot
only I wished I had a more power lens.
Thanks for stopping in,

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
