The fox cubs….this week!

 

I wasn’t going to bore you all with more pictures of the fox cubs. However after looking thru pictures I took just last week I realized how much they have grown in such a short period of time. Yesterday the most curious cub went hunting with his mommy for the first time……

Here is mommy making sure there have been no trespassers around the den…..

Here she is with the most curious cub who we have named George because he is always the first one out of the den and tends to wander the furthest away. He is also the most aggressive when it comes to food……

Have a great day!!!!

My tiara….. and other random musings!!!!!!


Did ya’ all get one of these tiara’s when they were offered at Décor Steals the other day? I couldn’t resist and had to pick one up because I’ve always secretly wanted to be a princess!!!! I added a little antique gold rub n’ buff to glam it up a bit.

Update on the fox cubs……

 

Yesterday it was cool, windy, and rainy and I didn’t see the fox cubs until just before dark and then it was only for a few minutes. I was sooooo disappointed!!!!!! To our surprise the mommy showed up around 9am this morning while I was fixing breakfast to feed the cubs. They were very active, it was the longest they have been out of their den…..I ruined one omelet!

the mommy

She is so beautiful…her markings and color are so vibrant!

She stayed with the cubs for about 30 minutes and then disappeared just as quickly as she came. The cubs continued to play for about ten minutes after she left and then they went back into their den to nap for the day……

Peaceful Sunday…….

Love is a mirror
it sees and reflects back...
It even has the ability
to show you sides of yourself
that you never knew existed...
And if love is true
every side is your best side.

Fox cubs……

 

Yesterday while heating my lunch in the microwave I looked out the window to the backyard. I saw three kittens out by our shed. We have a feral cat problem because someone in the neighborhood feeds them…..I was less than thrilled to see yet more kittens. Then I realized their ears were kind of big….and they were such a beautiful color!!!! They were not kittens at all but fox cubs!!!! I am slightly obsessed with them and have to check like every fifteen minutes now to see if they are out playing. I could stand in front of the window and watch them for hours they are sooooooo stinking CUTE!! They usually come out and play for 10 minutes or so and then go back under the shed to nap.

I’m pretty sure my family thinks I am crazy with my new obsession but I don’t care! At first I only saw three cubs but this afternoon there were FIVE of them out playing!!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!

A new find……


The weekend before we went to Texas we went to the antique market.
As soon as we walked into the first building I found tons of wonderful goodies on the first floor!!!
We looked on all the other floors but I didn’t find
much so back to the first floor I went to decide what was coming home with me.
Can you spot what I found?

I didn't know love could be this way.
Or maybe I never knew love until I loved you.
Whichever it is, it's a feeling I've never before felt
and I don't think I could ever feel it with any other human being.
I want to breathe it in, I can't get close enough to it,
it draws me, lifts me up, possesses me
and I don't want to remember what it's like to be without it.

Embracing spring…with new pillows!



After reupholstering the chair in front of the armoire in the buffalo check fabric I decided the other side of the room needed a little check fabric too.

So….. I made a little slipcover for the Frenchy foot stool and two pillows for the sofa to tie everything together.
