What a fancy bird!

May 29, 2008

Silkie Bantam birds that is. These are no ordinary birds! They are among a very few of their subset that have FIVE toes. Discovered by Marco Polo in his journeys to China in the 13th century they certainly seem like a prehistoric throwback of sorts. They are considered to be generally docile (although ours are quite spirited in these last 24 hours) and are also supposedly easily handled. While ours are in that ugly duckling stage they grow up to have beautiful, long, hair-like feathers with large tufts on their head and feet. They reluctantly curled up in the crook of Ex’s armpit last night and half went to sleep. The black one (both still nameless) curled up on my lap after his bath this morning and slept for abut 20 minutes!

I swear they are posing for this one. Hah!

Gattis Manor & Memorial Weekend

May 24, 2008

Here’s a few photos of the weekend events at Gattis Manor over Memorial Weekend. Not so sadly, no images of the many tick experiences were captured.

“Brent there is a giant wasp in your bathroom.” No really this thing was half the size of the puny flyswatter the disbelieving Gattis came armed with.

Pee-On-EE… I think is how it’s pronounced. Huge flowers!

The MAGDRL Great Dane Rescue yard sale metal detector that detected the wrong types of metals. Hah! They each paid $1 for it plus batteries and had a bit of fun plus the $2 is going to a good cause. Thanks Matt and Courtney!

Nice t-shirt Brent!

Brent even felt safe enough to let me cut the “lawn” which was just way to much fun minus the low hanging tree branches.

And what would a weekend be if it didn’t somehow involve a partially or not-at-all operational vehicle? Note the chains are for pulling out the abandoned Saab from the woods.

“Abandoned Saab, meet John Deere.”

The removal of the Saab. What would life be without boys and their toys. 🙂

Quality Construction & Design!.. Tryon Palace in Newbern, NC

May 6, 2008

Tired of looking at properties for sale we decided to take a look at an ultimate property by driving about an hour north east to Newbern, North Carolina to see the Tryon Palace.

No… the pictures below are NOT Photoshop enhanced. The sky really was that pretty yesterday and the landscaping that green!
