And You Thought You Were Having a Bad Day!

As much as I love my bird feeder, the occasional accident happens.This poor little guy hit the picture window and then "fell" into the mouth of my little cat. I rushed out and rescued him from the jaws of Frosty, righted him and let him rest.

When he turns his head you can see where his feathers got messed up in Frosty's mouth. I brought the cats inside and I let him rest and within 45 minutes he was gone. I couldn't resist getting some pictures though. Too bad he has the grumpiest little face I've ever seen on a chickadee!

I'm It!

The fabulous Maggie from Magpie's Collectables has tagged me! This is a first for me, so I will give it a shot! I am supposed to list eight random facts about myself. Hmmm....well here it goes!

1. I studied botany in University and worked in that field for many years.

2. Everybody knows that I LOVE pink and wear it to make myself feel better, well, on the other side of that coin is that I HATE purple! I've grown to like lavender, mauve's and such, but not purple!

3. I have never drunk a cup of coffee in my life. I did taste it once, but yuck!

4. I don't like chocolate. I only tolerate it to get to the yummy goodness that it wraps itself around. Sometimes I even cut off the chocolate on a chocolate bar just so I can have the wafers, or caramel inside.

5. I grow daylilies. I really want to propagate them and come up with my own breed!

6. If there could only be one bird in the world I would want it to be chickadees.

7. I cry every time I watch the part in the Little Princess where Sara cries "Papa, don't you remember me?".

8. I like to visit old cemeteries and take pictures of headstones. I then like to come home and look the names up in old newspapers and learn more about these people.

I'm not going to tag anybody (I'm really shy) but I will leave it open and hope that anybody who reads this and wants to be tagged, will go ahead!
