Backyard Wildlife Wednesday -Old Man Bird

For the past couple of years we have had a cute little bird that looks a bit like someone's Grampy who has hung out in our yard. His technical name is a Curved Bill Thrasher. TC has captured some fun footage of him lately.

As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE

Is it just us, or does our Curved Bill Thrasher act a bit like a Grumpy Grampy? BOL

Road Tripping to Texas

 

Happy Travel Tuesday!

A couple of Saturdays ago, Mama and Daddy woke us up early for a big adventure! It's funny how, on the first warmer day of the year,  the pawrents get antsy to get out and about!

After our morning routine, they put us in JeeJee the Jeep....

....and we headed out on a road trip!!!

We hit the road going east on Route 66 for a day of fun!

Mama said we were going to see the furry guy in this Billboard.  The pawrents saw him back in the olden days, before he got popular in Texas, but Sunny and I had never visited a Buc-Ee's. 

We stopped for a few nice walkies along the way.

...and saw a few trains too!

Finally, we crossed the Texas border. I, Rosy, have been to Texas back when I was just a wee pup.

This is a new state for Sunny though.  Daddy says she definitely has a Texas attitude and wears her pink cowboy hat with pride! 

Before long, we arrived at Buc-Ee's!!! 

(For those of you who may not have heard of Buc-Ee's, 

it is a travel center/gas station chain that originated near Austin, Texas and has expanded to stores throughout  South and Southeast United States.)

We took another long walk around the building, and then took a nap while the pawrents went in to look around and get some lunch!

Mama took WAY too many photos to post, so she put together a video:

I am glad we stopped at the Amarillo Buc-Ees, it was over 1,000 miles to the next one BOL!!!

Sunny is still having a hard time with the whole

"We traveled a total of 8 hours and all we got was a stuffed BEAVER?"

thing.....

It's all about the journey, Sunny...not the destination!

Valentine's Day Nature Friday

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Last week, Mama visited the ABQ Aquarium in search of nature. She was pleasantly surprised to see the improvements they had made in some of the exhibits. 

 This little seagull was rescued and now lives over the Stingray Pool at the aquarium! 

She said hello to this little turtle who was warming himself under the exhibit's sun lamp.

....she spent a bunch of time with the jellyfish too!

Plus, you know she visited her favorite furry water mammal, the Otter!!

It was hard to get pictures in the aquarium, so Mama made a little video:

We are wishing all our friends a very Happy Valentine's Day weekend filled with love and nature!!

Happy Galentine's Day!

 

Happy Galentines Day!! 

A fun holiday, celebrating women and their friendships.

Galentines Day originated on the TV show, Parks and Recreation From there, the idea spread through social media and the continued annual celebration on the TV Show.

Mama is actually celebrating Galentines Day by going on a long weekend cruise this weekend with her best friend!! We're sure she'll take a bunch of pictures and share them when she gets back.

She's not leaving her computer password, so we will be MIA until next Wednesday. We made sure to give Mama enough blog posts to "schedule"  through the magic of the interwebs.

What will we be doing for Galentines AND Valentine's Day? 

Well, staying home and getting spoiled by our Daddy of course!!!

We are so thankful Mama gets to go spend time with her BFF and even MORE thankful we get to spend some one on one, quality time with Daddy!!

Working Hard or Hardly Working

 

Welcome to Backyard Wildlife Wednesday, that day of the week we let Mama share some footage TC(our Trail Camera) has taken in our backyard. This week we are going to take a look at the hard working bunnies that would like to live under our shed.  Daddy is working hard to evict them, but they are working even harder move back. 

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

NF - Florida Beaches

 

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, I'm letting Mama show us some of the beaches she and Daddy saw while they were in Florida.

Thanks Rosy! 

Since we were staying about an hour from the Gulf of Mexico when visiting the Tampa RV Show, we decided to take a drive to Florida coast to put our toes in the water!

While we knew Clearwater and the surrounding coast was where the major hurricanes landed last Fall, we were still floored by the damage we saw. The beach parking was scarce because of road and lot repair work, but we found a spot not too far from the beach.

A lot of businesses were still under construction, and many roads closed, as they worked to repair the houses that were damaged during the storms.

The beaches were still beautiful though, and the seashells plentiful.

But the Gulf Coast was only the first body of water Ed put his hand in while we were visiting Florida.

After spending 2 nights in the Tampa area, we drove across Florida(with a stop for lunch to visit my BFF in Central Florida) to the Jacksonville, Florida area and the Atlantic ocean!

The beaches on the Atlantic side of the state were just as beautiful....

....and Ed got to put his hand in the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico all in one weekend!!

For your listening pleasure, here is a short video of both oceans:

We headed home from Florida refreshed and renewed.

But mostly happy to see us, right Mama???

Thankful Thursday - Morning Routine

Today, on Thankful Thursday, I(Sunny) want to say how thankful I am for a morning routine. There is something about a routine that helps keep me quieter and happier. Mama says she gets it, because it helps her too! Anyways...here is a peek at our morning routine!

We get up most mornings at around 6AM. Rosy and Mama  make their way into the living room to wake me up to start the day! First things first, Mama takes us out for a nice walkie in the backyard to go potty (not to mention to chase away any bunnies!).

After our morning walks, it's medicine time. Rosy isn't taking any meds right now, but she gets a little piece of pill pocket(so if she does need meds, it's easier for sneaky Mama to slip a pill in)

I look forward to my pills!

Before medicine time, Mama makes her coffee and steams her milk(Mama is spoiled and has a latte machine).

Mama says we are even MORE spoiled because, after medicine time, we get puppachino lickies.

Mama shares her steamed milk with us almost every morning!

After puppachino lickies, Mama puts down my breakfast.

We didn't start getting breakfast until about a year ago when our doctor thought it would be better for us(well me) to eat twice a day. 

Thanks Doc!!

While I get my breakfast, Rosy gets her puppachino lickies. I think it might be Rosy's most favorite part of the day too!!

Then Rosy gets her breakfast!

...and that's our morning routine. We are also thankful that, even when we are camping, Mama can stick to the same routine so it keeps me a happy and healthy(and keeps the pawrents sane)!!

Do you have a morning routine??
