~~~There Is A Season For Everything~~~

I had intended to post yesterday ,but was not in  the place !!    My dear neighbor of 40 years passed away at the age of 90!!   Her house is about 400ft from mine, and when my children where young we had a path mowed  through the hay field to her house, so they could go and visit, whom they lovingly called "Aunt Alice"!!  Her youngest child Monique, was 13 at the time and loved my girls, and was a big help watching them for me!!   Ironically on Monday of this week I "in one of my silly moods " mowed a path across the field , and told Monique in case you needed to come to my house !!  She got a big laugh out of it as we relived that time in our lives!!
 She and her husband bought her mothers home about 4 years ago, and her Mom (Alice) was living there with them!! One of the sons lives on the other side of me,and they own all the 250 acres of property ( all woods and fields total wild) around my wee 3 acres : }!!
 I feel very safe here, because they keep watch for me  ; } which is good because I can do some crazy things ....like the time I cut down a saucer size tree...the bugger wouldn't fall !
I had cut the pie on the side I wanted it to fall ...cut on the opposite side and nothing ....so I went to set the chainsaw  (oh I didn't mention I was using a chainsaw? lol) down and the tree fell my way knocked me to the ground.... small cut on the forehead and two black eyes....Ya I need watching ; }

Well enough of the neighbor history....Alice was a wonderful full of fun and laughter lady who will be very much missed in this neighbor!!!

 Now more photo's taken on the walk from my last post:

Starling collecting nesting material ! 

And it got it!!

I found my Christmas tree topper for next year ; }

Dandelion seed heads... when the fluff blows around it is everywhere,but they are a source of

 food for many birds!!

I have watched the Blackbirds especially pick them apart to get to the seed, and some birds take

the fluff to line nests!!

Phoebe watching for tiny butterflies for lunch!!

And he found one !!!

Reflecting..hmmm I think thats where I am at right now !!
