Thank you for the beautiful poem, ms. feather. I'll admit the tears are flowing in a steady stream at the moment.

And thank you Darksheare and SAM for your sweet words.
You've all put a smile on this sad lil hillbilly's face.

I knew the day was coming when I'd have to set Tinuviel's spirit free to play in the trees but it was still a blow when it arrived. It's always hard to have a beloved pet put to sleep. We were lucky to get more time with her than we expected when she was diagnosed with cancer last summer. We expected around 6 months and got 11. She and I had 13 wonderful years together

Though I'll miss her dearly for a long time, the bright side is that I still have aaaaaaall these other kitties (3 are Tinuviel's offspring) who have a hold on my heart to love and take care of. They'll keep me plenty busy. :-)

Good morning y'all.

I hope everyone is doing fine and dandy these days. Other than losing my lil kitty, things are going pretty well in the hills of TN. NO RAIN for the past few days!! YEEHAAAAAW! LOL!
Of course, the veggies in the garden are lovin' this hot, dry weather and are keeping me busy.....pickin' green beans galore and getting them put up keeps me hoppin'. hehe. We were a little late getting the stuff planted this spring so the goodies are only recently ready to pick. The 'maters, corn and melons won't be to far behind. Can't say that farm life is exciting but there's sure something to be said for munchin' on home-grown food. Yum, yum!

We have several hummingbirds living here this year and I have a feeder hanging just outside the kitchen window. I spotted a couple of the tiny beauties flitting around the feeder this afternoon and grabbed the camera. Dang, but they're hard to photograph! LOL! But I got this shot of one of them and will keep trying to get more.I hope to get some better shots to post in the future. Those lil birds are sooooooo adorable!
