Warmth..

Today is Daffodil Day & everywhere around the country this one day brings Hope.. 'hope' to raise money for a cure to this insidious disease that takes thousands of people each year, 'hope' for another day & a step in the right direction for those who are undergoing treatment that a breakthrough will be found in time for them & 'hope' for those that had loved ones who didn't win their fight, that it's a day closer to something that will allow those people to be thankful for.

So today I dedicate these beautiful flowers that are only simple but say so much to my Grandma who lost her life at 66 years old to Breast Cancer.

I miss you and love you & each time I see a Daffodil I feel warmth & it brings a smile that only I know about, thank-you for the love and care you gave to me from the day I was born until that day that you left too early♥

While I am on the subject of our pets...

Meet Jaffa. She is a long neck turtle who got her name from her orange markings on her shell underneath. The older she has become the lighter her "orange strips" are turning. She's really social and likes to nip whenever she can. I love her beady eyes, she's pretty cool:)

She's going to need a bigger home soon, but with a cut out lid in the top to make it easier to get her out and a lot more often as well..She's great to watch running across the grass and sits out there stretching her neck taking it all in, runs off again and repeats the whole process over and over until she goes too far and we bring her back to her bowl of water or pop her back into the tank.

Meet Fluffy...

Our family is back to 5 kids now..we brought home Fluffy on Thursday morning just gone, he is a 6.5 month old Birman Seal Point and is settling in very nicely. He and Emily had a few issues for a day or so but now run around the house chasing each-other and tumble rolling, but all in fun. I even spotted them having a bit of a kiss earlier over their dinner bowls....♥
