while drumming my fingers

With Camilla the end of the pregnancy snuck up on us

not this time.

I am well aware every moment of the day that this baby boy is coming

and for some reason I think that it should be sooner than later.

Mark is loving and supportive and brought me home some pinecone flowers

knowing that I would appreciate them.

I have seen them cut and made but never that grew in their full flower glory.

They are part of my new decorating (nesting) rage.

Like some mad pregnant lady my energy levels are up and I have turned

the house upside down flipping and flopping all the furniture and wall adornments.

In all the rain and wind of late our palm has been shedding

and sadly, for 7 or so little baby birds

their nest came down with the fronds (new visual for "rock a bye")

Another animal rescue by nana from the "wild kitty"

(I guess the birds weren't rescued but the wild kitty was- yeah for the heroic firefighter tree climbing mom! )

Squirrels are cute as long as they are not in your garden.

Cami spends alot of time in the garden

and even though my camera continues to take fuzzy pictures

is quite cute tromping around in her clogs ready for anyone to go "side" with her.

Even while she eats her fill we have enough strawberries for breakfast each morning

(she's not so sure about the radishes)

My head is full of knock off wood plans

I like my pallet shelf that would have been quicker if I had something other than a big rusty hand saw with which to hack it.

Lastly, the tank has been named Nottingham- complete with sherwood forest and

to keep Robin Hood and Little John company

I added MM, LC and FT

A group of merry men plan to join them soon and

if I met the right kind of evil looking fish we will also have

a sherif or prince.
