We Have Returned!

After a long hiatus, Lily and I have returned to the world of blogging!  YAY!

It's been a long year and three months with a lot of loss, but we have gained a lot as well.  I will inform everyone when the time comes!

In the mean-time, I will leave a picture of my now two-year-old Lily.

Most Dangerous Pictures I've Taken

Oh my gosh it's been a wild trip the past couple of days. Lily cut her first tooth, she's been clingy and separation anxious, as well as constipated.

Wednesday was exciting when a mama deer left her baby under the front porch for the day. I got pictures of her, which was the most awesome but dangerous thing I think I have ever done. At one point the fawn followed me and started crying.yelling at me and when I turned around she ran right up to me and deer-hugged me. At that moment I heard a crashing in the woods -- Mama Doe. I already saw her go after Tike for getting too close so I ran like hell back inside. I looked back only when I was at the door and mama came out of the woods looking for me. I'm very thankful I didn't stick around...

We had to move the fawn when the people came to take care of the lawn (we being me). Carrying a wild newborn fawn was pretty awesome and scary when I had no idea where the mama was.

But Mama Doe gave birth to her second a little after dropping this one off.  I think I need to say this fawn was at most a couple of hours old when he/she was brought over.

Catch-up In Pictures

I finally found the camera cord, so now I can update the awesome happenings of the past week or so via pictures!  Yay! 

We're da Bob-omb

Wild onion I foraged and ate. Definitely cook with other items.

Tike don't play no games.

Turtle buddy

I let her feed herself yogurt.

Naked time.

That's not how you take your vitamins, Lilz...

Happy Earth Day!

Lily and I celebrated Earth Day by planting some flower seeds yesterday because the weather was going to be too windy today.  Here is our day yesterday in pictures!
Have a great Earth Day!
Every day can be a green one :)

Today is Caturday!

Did you know...

"The sound a cat makes is unique and is rendered onomatopoeically as "meow" or similar variants ("miaow", "miau" etc.) in most European languages as well as Mandarin Chinese. Japanese has it as "nyaa" or "nyan"; Korean as "yaong" or "nyaong".  In Arabic the sound is transcribed as "mowa'a.""

That explains "Nyan Cat," huh?

Well, today is Caturday, so I thought I would post some things related to my kitty, Tike Myson.  I don't recognize him enough, so today will be his day!

Tike is my furbaby.  I've had him since kittenhood and am so glad we kept him around.  He's a joy to have around, but he must stay outside now that we are living at my grandmother's house.  He was raised as an indoor kitty, so he's been taking it kind of hard.

Yesterday, though, he learned how to get in to the screened porch out back and found his way to my open window.  At 7AM he was meowing at it, trying to get me to let him in.

We usually leave the back door to the porch open, and he's already gotten inside a few times.  I don't mind, but my grandmother does.  I have just never seen a cat fight so avidly to get indoors!

Hopefully soon he can be an indoor kitty again.

Wordless Wednesday: Sleepy Lily

Lily's Discovery, My Scare, and Cleaning

A couple of days ago I was typing away on the computer when Lily's walker toy started making sounds I had never heard before.  I listened and grew concerned, so I walked in to see what was wrong.  It was buzzing and making sounds that sounded like songs.  I had never heard the toy do that, so I started to worry that it was dying or about to explode.  Before lifting Lily out of the toy and saying the Lord's Prayer to exorcise the possessed toy, I realized that maybe Lily had just found a new setting I hadn't.  Sure enough, there is a hidden switch that changes the sound-making part from a keyboard, to songs, to animal noises.  I was relieved and also proud Lily figured it out.

Of course, she could have just been banging on the toy until something new happened.

Next, Tike disappeared for a long time.  I heard a cat yelling in the woods and started freaking out.  He didn't come when I called him, which is rather unusual for him.  When the yelling stopped and everything was silent, I thought for sure my furbaby was gone.

Then, a little while later, I saw him running out of the woods and right up to me.  Scared me to death, but he's alright.

And today I've been cleaning.  That's pretty much my life in a nutshell.  I even took a break from Pokemon.  I'm sure Lily wasn't too happy about not getting to teeth on the Gameboy, but we all must make sacrifices.

Funny Things Lily Has Done Today

Today has just been a laugh-fest for Lily. From this morning when she woke up to right now where she's babbling to a toy frog that makes sounds. While it might seem normal or not-so-funny to some, I really enjoyed it.

When we woke up she was giggling uncontrollably as I changed her outfit and diaper. I powdered her butt and right before I put on the diaper she decided to fart. *POOF!* There was a small powder cloud. She thought my reaction was funny, so she laughed some more.

She doesn't usually like the paci, but I thought it was funny when she spit it every time I specifically told her not to today.

At dinner she was sitting in my lap and I was talking about something and she caught me off-guard and stuck her hand in my plate and put it in her mouth. Luckily she didn't get anything on her hand, so while I was checking that she somehow took her OTHER hand and grabbed at my fork. I decided to hold her closer and she grabbed my plate. The rest of the time she sat there staring at the food on my plate.

She is now currently in her playpenyardthing "talking" to the Christmas Frog.
