Guy Noir and his friend

Guy Noir and his friend have been establishing a relationship while we are gone for the time between weekends. When we arrived this week they apparently were cold and we found them on the stove in an attempt to warm themselves. The next morning we found them on the table. They were apparently hungry and had eaten everything that we had placed into the bowl. Guy Noirs friend in fact was found sitting in the bowl and making strange noises in an attempt to get us to fill it up again.

Later in the afternoon they were on the porch looking at the beautiful sunset. They sat there for quite some time before returning to their assigned perches.

On Sunday morning we were a little upset when we found them attempting to drive the Mule up and over to who knows where. They've never been further away than a couple of steps and had they succeeded in escaping, it may very well have been disastrous. Thank goodness.

Springtime Mushrooms

Springtime is a wonderful time for spotting mushrooms along Peppers Trail. New and varied species appear each year. This year we were fortunate to find a lovely red specimen along one of our walks. Some specimens, although they lack the color of the one above, make up for it with beautiful designs.

Love Seat Arrival

Marlene and Nancy made the decision that the old love seat had seen its better days and it was time for something new in the cottage. Several places were checked out and Nancy finally found a wonderful choice that you can view below. It fits into the scheme of things very well and the side pillows can be used on the futon making it much more comfortable to relax into. The color fits in very well and the design is perfect for the space. Thanks Nancy! You did well!
