Introduction.

Welcome to my home =] I believe in a total hands on, learn as you go type of existance bcause you can't cultivate knowledge about new things without getting your hands dirty. So if you're willing to watch me stumble through the process then check back often. This site will always be a work in progress... sorta like me!

Sunday morning Sept. 16th started out eventful. Our female desert tortoise must have laid eggs sometime in May or June as we awoke to four tiny hatchlings crawling around the yard. Michael carefully dug up the suspected nest and found one more wiggling towards the surface half it’s eggshell still attached. Once the grandkids arrived Pop Pop dug a little deeper and found three more eggs buried below that were not fertile. All five are doing well and after spending two winters indoors will join their parents and several other siblings we’ve kept over the years in our backyard. We’ve been raising the endangered species for almost 30 years now.

Exploring the links will tell you alot about what makes me purrrrr... I won't be putting up a BIO, you wouldn't believe me anyway. I will confess that words are a passion for me, thus the lyrics link, so I will be adding quotes or bits and pieces of songs that make my heart sing and you are welcome to take and use anything that moves you. I've probably swiped them from somewhere anyway... so enjoy.

Embrace this moment... Remember we are eternal... All this pain is an illusion.
