Hello y'all!
   I'll start with an update on my sister-we saw her oncologist yesterday before her 9th chemo treatment for the results of the CT scan she had on Friday. It showed no trace of cancer in her lymph nodes and the mass in her breast has shrunk so we'll stay the course and finish up the 3 remaining treatments before she has a double mastectomy at the end of May. Her blood labs continue to be perfect as well! So we were ecstatic to get the good news on that front!
    My latest series of photos consists mostly of songbirds and woodpeckers that are visiting the feeders out back of the house. American Goldfinches have taken over but everyone else is getting their fare share as well! I saw a Scissortail Flycatcher for the very first time-that tail looks so cool when they're in flight!
   I took my first ride around the ranch roads and found the Egyptian Geese in a pond on the ranch with a duck of which I do not know the name of-I haven't much knowledge of ducks. I also found a couple other ducks in the pond where the crocodile head is and I don't know what kind they are either. lol
   There's some cows, bluebirds and scenery pics included and a couple pics of my sister's horse Gizzy getting her hooves trimmed. The farrier says she has great feet but needs to lose some weight. She was let out in the cow pasture for a couple weeks and gained the weight from eating too much fresh grass so she'll be kept in her corral for a while.
   Pretty much all the trees have leafed out around here so finding birds in them will be a challenge. That's about it for now-we're going camping again this coming weekend so I'll be getting more pics of the sights and sounds of Beaver Lake to share. Take care and see ya!

Egg sitting chart through last evening! Steady as she goes!

Good job Ei! Your efforts are appreciated! 

 

I've been lax about replying but sure am enjoying all your videos and photos, especially camping with the dogs.  My very best wishes go out to your sister and the rest of your family.  Who needs hair anyway!

As they say Dot-hair today, gone tomorrow!! 

      Beautiful videos and beautiful location.  Raising your sister in prayer for a successful and good news visit with her oncology MD. 

Thanks Diane! 

LOL, that Ruby in that Hummer, cracks me  up!!   

Ruby is a diva! 

Hello everybody!
   My latest photo album and videos include all 4 of the Egyptian Geese that reside on the ranch here in paradise swimming in a pond on the dirt road my sis lives off of called Spanker Creek Rd. There was also a Great Blue Heron in that pond.
   Most of the rest of the pics are from a camping trip we had on Beaver Lake. My sis Mary Ellen, her husband Mike and their 3 boxers and I were on a site by the boat launch and dock. Next door was my niece Lorri, her boyfriend Brad and 6 of their 8 dogs. Both sites were situated on the lake with trees separating them.
   Brad brought his clippers as my sister was ready to shave off what little hair she had left from the chemo treatments. She went first, then Brad shaved my head and Lorri shaved his head. Mary Ellen said it was ok to show her on fb so there's a pic of the 3 of us in my album as well. What a beautiful camping experience as I haven't been camping in over 20 years when I had a tent. Trailers are way more convenient and comfortable! I hope you like my album and 4 videos. See ya!
