A Stitchery and a Survivor

Two weeks ago Kim put out a call to swap stitcherys and I answered that call. Kim stitched up this wonderful poem written by her daughter Emily and it is now hanging on my wall. In return I sent Kim a stitchery but forgot to take a pic before I sent it off. Shame on me! So it will be a surprise for Kim when she opens it. Hey Kim can you send me a picture of it when it arrives. Thanks bunches.

Now on to this little guy.

Last Thursday at 7am my aunt who was on her way to school came knocking on my door with this scraggly looking little ball of fur. She found him lying in the middle of the highway. He was very cold and shakey and breathing heavily. I wrapped him in some blankets and fed him some soy milk. As he got warmed up his head started to swell above his left eye which he could not open and he was barely able walk.We were not sure he was going to make it thru the day. But he proved us wrong and is getting stronger each day.He looks to be only about 2 to 3 weeks old. We think some animal may have taken him from his mother and dropped him on his head. He is a little bobtailed kitten. Today he was up and out of his box walking all over the floor.We weren't sure that he could see but his sight seems to be coming as his swelling goes down however we are not sure he can hear because he doesn't seem to follow sounds. But it may still be too soon to tell the extent of his injuries. He's such a little thing but seems to have a strong will to survive

Natures Gift

Dh was outside today and heard some chirping when he looked up he saw a little beak sticking out of the hole of one of many many birdhouses we have in the backyard. All built by him of course. Then the little birdie stuck his head out farther and so DH was able to get a pic.
I love viewing nature at it's best.
One last thought if anyone ever tells you that you eat like a bird tell them your insulted because birds eat quite alot. We filled the 5 bird feeders we have yesterday and they are empty already. Sometimes I think those birds eat better than we do. We feed them year round. But I'm not complaining beacuse I enjoy seeing all the different birds that stop at our feeders.

Another visitor

Seems it's a week of critter visits here at my house.Brendan went out yesterday monrning to feed our critters and found this Praying Mantis attached to the inside of our back door and it decided that is where it wanted to stay.It was there all day Friday and today. We finally had to remove it so we could shut the screen door. I didn't want it coming inside the house where the cats could get it.
