hit the ground running this morning...

and we are getting more snow...

took this early this morning...

the birds were in to feed...

we are on the edge of another winter storm warning...

just a few miles north is in it...

these guys don't eat out of the feeder...

but they were singing so loud...

and there was a huge crow...

Myra and the babies...

the buffet is open...

ran out to grab some lunch...

and took some photos on the way there...

another train is in...

the elevator is sure making progress on the ground piles...

cloudy here...

kind of gloomy out...

but there is a peace to gloom...

and a calm...

this is what got me moving so fast this morning...

found her away from all the others...

worked on her for more than an hour...

she just wasn't strong enough...

so we are back to 4 babies and a mom...

God always leaves us with more than he takes...

have a blessed weekend...

;)

looking for somewhere fun to visit?

http://heretherebemusing.blogspot.com/

have I got a place for you...

her name is Tessa...

and she is a spitfire...

and so sweet...

stop by and check her out...

you will so love her and her spirit...

and her blog!

;)

the new babies...

these photos are from yesterday...

the first 3 were blonde...

so cute...

the fourth one is a muted calico...

with eye brows...

mama and I had a hard night of it...

the fifth one was stuck too long and didn't make it...

it was a russian blue and just huge...

twice the size of the others...

and right after it passed the birth canal, number six happened...

another muted calico...

they are kenneled and covered so they can all rest...

no photos today, probably...

mama is so, so tired...

and I am not sure there isn't another one...

I keep checking in there often...

I have her here in the kitchen where I can see her...

Craig is working today, so I asked him to grab a can of kitten milk just in case we lose the mama...

and we have to bottle feed them...

got her on Iams kitten food for her milk...

the little ones look healthy, strong and can suck good...

;)

we have babies!

so far, we have four...

and mama is taking a break in between times...

there are more in there and are moving down into position...

could be a few hours...

I love this little face...

I shut down my blog awhile today...

but am opening it back up so you can see them...

and if you read my last post, it will explain it all...

I will be going through my blog and taking off all photos that are not mine...

that will take awhile...

so in the mean time...

it will just be exciting news like this...

;)

if you can read this, you are but a handful right now...

I have closed the blog down...

not forever, but just until I can make some changes here and delete a bunch of posts...

a dear blogger friend sent my a link to something that scared the britches right off of me...

it concerned using other peoples photos in your blog and the kind of copyright trouble you can get into...

I so do not need any kind of drama in my life...

nothing like that...

so I started deleting the posts and found after I went back in and looked at my blog...

I rather like it being about only my home, my town, my life again...

so hang in there with me while I get this cleaned up...

there will be no more random thoughts or images from anywhere but my own camera...

unless its to do a prayer request for someone and I have permission to use a photo...

so, as much fun as those posts were, its just not worth getting sued over or hassled about...

:)

in other news, mama is in labor and we are about to have baby kittens again...

so stay tuned for all of that fun...
