The earth seems to be having great upheavals lately. Starting at the first of the year there were reports of mass bird deaths. 5000 birds dropped from the sky. Since then the reports have become more frequent. I have heard stories of fireworks being the cause all the way to La Nina being the blame. I can not fathom that these can actually be the cause of massive amounts of wild animal deaths. So far there have been several types of fish, to include jellyfish and star fish, manatee's, birds to include, doves, pelicans, penguins, red winged black birds, and even Bats.
Google maps now has a map showing each location of reports of these mass animal deaths. These reports show the locations and each different report has a different claim as to what caused the deaths. I am bothered by the fact that the officials are attempting to claim such different reasons for the deaths but not one of them is consistent. We really all should step up and start asking questions. Why is this really happening? Why would 5000 birds have brain hemorages all at the same time and drop from the sky dead? Why would thousands of fish have no apparent injuries just wash up on shore and die?
Here is the link to the google maps mass animal deaths.
I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this. Do you believe what the media is saying? Did you know about this or is this the first you have heard about it? Speak up!

Such a special gift
My daughter the bookworm sat down last night and created the most amazing birthday gift for me in a few hours time. I thought I would share it with you all.
The color seems a little off and I will take another picture of it to show it in a different light later. She used acrylic paint on canvas and created it out of her own imagination. I will cherish it forever as the best birthday gift I have ever gotten.

Another year older
Today is my birthday! So todays blog is going to be one that I come back and post pictures of. I plan on taking a walk somewhere where there are beautiful things all over the place and take lots of pictures. I know that I am getting a fantastic lunch and that I will be spending my day with people I love. So stay tuned for shots of the world around me on my special day.
Well I forgot my camera when we went in to have our lunch so there will be no pictures of my glorious lunch. My husband took the kids and I too a wonderful Japanese place in town and I ate tempura veggies, rice, salad and tried 3 kinds of sushi. It was wonderful!
We did drive over at sunset though and I got to take some wonderful pictures of the sun setting over the smallest complete mountain range in all the world, The Sutter Buttes.
I hope that you all enjoyed the pictures I took today on my birthday! I enjoyed myself today more then I have in a long time. I hope to get out with my friend the camera and try some more shots soon. I have one shot of that owl there that I would like to play with and see if I can clean it up before I post it. perhaps I will do that soon. :)
If your a friend and you have a special memory you would like to share then I would love to hear it. Just post a comment and I will be sure to read it when I come back later with my photos to share. :)

1/1/11
I see many people set new years resolutions. I myself have given up this archaic thing myself. I however start each new year with hope and desires for the coming year. Each year is like a clean slate to start over again.
Here is a list of things I hope the new year brings for my family and I.
A Job. -
But not just any job. THE job. The realms know what I mean by this. The job that we have waited 3 long years for. The job that is going to make this long wait worth while. The job that is perfect for our family. The job that provides exactly what we need financially as well as emotionally.
A Home. -
Not just any home but a home that is built on love. A home that we can make our own. A home that we can garden in the yard. A home that we can modify to use less energy and be as green as possible. A home that allows us to grow together as a family.
A Move-
A move that allows us to get the first two wishes. A move that brings the perfect job to us and a move that takes us to a place where we can explore new things. Adventures in a new spot is the best thing I can think of right now.
Peace-
peace in our family that comes from stability. A solid constant job that allows us to do the things we want to do for fun.
I hope that we can continue our life learning adventures with vigor and promise. I dream for health for each and every member of my family. I long for consistency and in that consistency we can find adventures.
One a last note~ Today is my grandfathers birthday. He has been at his new address in another realm, time and space for 17 years now but not a day passes where I do not think of this as his birthday. SO wherever you are Grandpa Happy Birthday from this girl who thinks of you often, feels your love still and hears your voice in the important times.
