Today is a very sad day - my lovely bird Sydney died last night. She was acting strangely for awhile, then yesterday started having spasms/convulsions... I spent a good part of last evening holding her and trying to feed her and give her water with a syringe. But we both knew she was dying, for reasons of which we will probably never know. She was about 13 or 14 (although I thought they were supposed to live up to 20). Last night I did not expect that I'd be quite as upset as I've been. I woke this morning to Tim making us breakfast and telling me she'd died. I held her for awhile, so beautiful! We buried her in a pretty place on our land. We both cried. So that is my sadness today. It's wonderful having pets, but sucks when they die. She used to greet me when I walked in the house, "Hello" "Hello" "Hello". She was a goof and a lot of fun and so gorgeous. I will miss her.

Very Sad Day

Long Time!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
How many ways can I find to humiliate my dog? Does she have a look of humiliation on her face? HA HA HA!!! She's so cute!! She also wears a nice courduroy coat in the mornings when it's cold out. Poor baby.
At the end of October we went hunting for a day with Tim's dad. It was muzzle-loading, which I'm not really into, but it was fun. We had a gorgeous drive as well, through some beautiful mountains. At one point Tim was very close to a buck and took a shot - was sure he had it, but come to find out his sight was nearly ready to fall off! That deer was very lucky! And so we missed out again this year on some great-tasting, healthy, drug-free, inexpensive meat! :( Oh well...
Next time I'm on I will put up pics of our trip, ages ago, to the western part of the state. Unbelievable scenery!!!!! Huge canyons, cool caves, massive lava flows... amazing. When are YOU going to visit?????
OOH! I almost forgot! When we were out hunting (the beginning of the day we started out in stuff like this picture, typical NM!), in the area of this photo, I found an arrowhead!!!!!! I found a real, primitive, little white arrowhead! All my life I'm looking on the ground for arrowheads and this day I happened upon one! YEA!!! I was SO excited!!! :)
