Gracie came through the surgery just fine and is now waking up from her induced sleep. They said the cyst or tumor was right next to her juglar vein, but they managed to work around it . They did send off to the pathology lab what they found, and we won't know much more till the results come back in a week or so, but we will pick up Gracie from the vets and take her back in two weeks to get the stitches out. So for right now, she's doing fine, and I thank you for your energies that helped her along. I'll keep you posted on the recovery.
Afternoon Dear Hearts, just an up date, Gracie has gone to the vet today, she has a lump in her neck.
Our vet said it could be as simple as an infected tick bite to something more sininster. Tomorrow she will have surgery and see for sure what the trouble is. She's not unwell, feeling great and eating and everything else cats normally do. I'm lighting candles for her comfort and healing and would very thankful for any help in that area. One can only be thankful to have the privilege to know these fine pets we concider our family. If she could Gracie would say thanks for the well wishes.
Hello Dearies, I hope all had a blessed Solstice. We gathered this year at my house for crafts and a play and a pot luck. We had Lisa Lynn playing on the cd player and crafted our damsel hats, with glittler and fairy dust and much laughter.
We then took a break for rotel and chips, and then crafted little bags to be filled with different herbs and our sorrows, regrets, and pains of life. We crafted these for ritual, we were to burn these up in ritual and all our negitivity would be carried away as the smoke rose above us. (as they burned during ritual they made the sweetest incense)
We then had our play, which I attempted to write, but with the help of great actresses it came off without a blunder and we enjoyed every word.
I suppose we are easily amused.
We had a lovely ritual down in the yard, Jo wrote it and we all had parts. We had a beautiful bouquet from the yard of black eyed susans just right as they looked like little sunbursts. Our ritual complete, we retreated to the A/C and the kitchen table to feast on the smoked chickens Bill had done for us and the other delish dishes the gals brought. We had such a great time and are already planning our next gathering in July. Wish you could have been there.
I hope this finds each and everyone of you, well and happy. Most of all enjoying this lovely summer weather. With the abundance of rain we have had up until now, everything is lush with foliage and blooms. It must be a good year for the birds too as they are most friendly and numberous at the deck feeders. I could really get used to the close up and personal contact you have when your feeders are eye level and within an arms reach.
We spent an afternoon with a honey bee. There has not been an abundance of bees in our area in a long time. There still is not, but we had one buzz around us looking for we assumed food, so I mixed up some sugar water like for the humming birds and put some in a plate. This bee buzzed about and found the buffet and ate his fill and left. But in a few moments came back with a pal. They both drank more sugar water and buzz was gone again. They returned and ate and left and returned all afternoon long. It seemed to me the bees seems a bit confused. I wondered if they were going to their hive and dropping off accumulated sugar water for others. I guess we'll never know but it was nice to watch the event. Where would we be with out the BEE.
Our back yard is coming along. Bills grass is sparce but a beautiful green, and in time it will fill out to a lovely carpet to walk bare foot on.
I'll add a bit later but for now, Huggs to all. Makay
Well a blog about the blooming beauties in the yard, Dear Heather I know you love YARD SHOTS.
There is one thing I have no idea what is, it has a bloom like a honey sucke but it is a woody shrub. They came VIA Bird droppings we suppose. as we didn't plant these we have about 4 or 5 on the property. This shrub gets as big as a forsythia, can't spell, sorry for it. Any ideas anyone? Not much fragrance either, nothing like honey suckle in the way of smell.
It's a beauty what ever it is.
