I promise these are the last photos of Toby and Oreo! I thought I would share a couple of blooper photos. Oreo is above with her laser eyes.
Silly Toby photo bombing when I was taking a photo of Oreo.
With some warmer temperatures over the last week our snow has melted quite a bit. The birds are busy as ever at the feeders. I just caught the chickadee as it took off from the feeder pole. He looks like he is heading right for the cardinal!
Mr. Squirrel sat on the deck rail and enjoyed some dried cranberries. I think he needs a nail trim!
One day was so warm many robin's were out and about.
We received some snow and high winds yesterday but through it all there were many critters at the feeders.
Our neighbours Christmas display actually looks Christmassy now.
I received this beautiful orchid for taking care of Toby and Oreo. I panicked when I first saw it as I have never owned an orchid. The instructions were very simple so hopefully I won't kill it!
My Mum's health continues to worsen. She is still in the hospital and is now on oxygen. The doctors say she MAY be able to come home next week but she will need daily care now. Thanks for all your good thoughts.
Have a great weekend!
Robin
Still looks like quite a bit of snow. The Orchid is beautiful, I'm sure it's in very safe hands xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! I hope you are right!
ReplyDeleteThose yellow eyes look evil.
ReplyDeleteNice to see all your backyard critters.
Love the window box.
Still praying for your mum.
Thanks Karen, she needs all the prayers she can get!
DeleteAlthough I've had many different house plants over the years, I've never had an orchid. Like you I'd be scared I'd accidentally kill it. They apparently have an undeserved reputation for being fragile. We shall see. (insert smile here).
ReplyDeleteThat's not great news about your poor mom needing daily care when she gets home from hospital. I hope a solution can be found that works for all concerned.
I have read up a bit on orchids and they aren't as fragile as you would think as you say.
DeleteThanks for your kind words about my Mum.
Your bloopers are what most of my cat pictures look like. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI think all the critters are very lucky... Do any other home owners in your neighborhood also feed the birds and squirrels? Hope so!
We're continuing to send purrs and Light to your mum, and you too, Robin.
Take care.
Kim and Mary next door have a feeder and Janice across the street does too so the birds and squirrels are well covered in this part of the neighbourhood.
DeleteThanks for your concern about my Mum, Kim, I appreciate it.
P.S. The orchid is so pretty! Lovely thank you... It probably will thrive under your care. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am still afraid I will kill it!
DeleteI would be nervous about the orchid too. My Mom used to grow orchids and had them in a green house but I bet you can keep that one alive.
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures. Chickadees are one of my favorites
We sure send many prayers for your Mom.
I hope I can keep it alive!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind thoughts about my Mum.
Love the pictures! Those glowing laser beam eyes cats often get in pictures make me laugh! Those black squirrels are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I often seem to take photos with laser beam eyes! I looked out at the feeders a couple of days ago and 5 black squirrels were eating there. I think somebody put the word out!
DeleteI love the Christmas window box. It looks like a Christmas card. Oreo looks very otherworldly.
ReplyDeleteIf wishes could help your mum, she'd be able to leap over tall buildings by now. Continued thoughts for her good health.
Thank you so much! What a kind, thoughtful thing to say. Her health continues to deteriorate with no hospital release day in the near future.
