November Beach

I know people flock to the ocean in the summer, but I will always say the Maine beaches are so special when they are cold and empty.  We lit a fire and invited our Beachcombers 4-H club and had such a lovely time. A marvelous day to be homeschooling. 







Rescuing Birds

 Birds...

I don't ever remember holding a live wild bird when I was younger, but it's totally something that my kids keep doing.  This is one that Anna-Kate rescued from the garage. 


Tootsie Part 2

 After we had Tootsie for a solid month, the plan was to drop Tootsie off to get her shots and get adopted.  She was there less than 24 hours when we got a call, "Want her back?"  I guess Tootsie was driving everyone bonkers meowing for the kids.  She's not like that at all at our house!  So we drove back to get her and she was thrilled.   She will be here until she is spayed and the plan is to find her a family with kids! I know the general consensus would be to keep Tootsie, but our goal as a homeschooling family home for our lessons a chunk of everyday, is to give these little kittens a ton of attention while they are awaiting adoption, so they are excellent family cats. 





Tootsie and my husband have a very special bond, they are pals through and through.  

The only one who is ready for Tootsie to go is Zippy.  Here's a pic of Tootsie fixin' to annoy Zippy in 3...2...1...


Tootsie

It's been a while, I suppose I ought to share the story of Tootsie, our 4th foster kitten. 

Tootsie came to us because she wanted PEOPLE.  She did NOT want to be in a cage at the shelter.  

So we came and got her.  A solid month we loved her and cared for her.  Then it was time to bring her back to the shelter.  So we did.  But that's not the end of the Tootsie story.  I'll do a part 2 to continue the story tomorrow! 













Happy Halloween 2024

 This year we have Jake from State Farm, Flo from Progressive and an angel trying to keep the peace.

Mama Made Pajamas

 When your teen informs you that only one pair of mama made pajamas fits, you make time to stitch up another pair.  My kids have had mama made pajamas in their drawers for their entire lives.  I tell them homemade pajamas is like they get to sleep with a hug from mom.



Halloween Pumpkins 2024

 Halloween Pumpkins 2024...a week and a half after we carved them, slightly rotten, shrunk in size, but still festive. Traditional smiling faces and a highlander.
