outdoors



Most of Easter Sunday was spent at the park.
We flew a kite, painted on canvases and listened to some great tunes.
It was a lovely afternoon.



Goose, Binky and I have been house- and dog-sitting for my mom all week.
We like to walk to the waterfront and check out all the birds.
I knew there would be some baby birds.  There always are this time year!
We were lucky enough to find lots of goslings!



This little one walked right up to us!
His mom was not to thrilled with the idea, though. 
She circled him back to his siblings.





We spent almost an hour just watching them.



The Martinez Shoreline is very pretty.
There's a train station, antique shops and a marina as well.
It's a nice change from the hustle and bustle of our neighborhood.
Tomorrow we will visit John Muir's home here in Martinez.
Did you know that Martinez is the birthplace of the famous cocktail, the Martini?
You can read about it here.
Just a little local history for you!

I found this flower on our morning walk yesterday. It said, "Take my picture!!!"

Happy Weekend!

flowers and kittens





Yesterday we went for a walk down by the Berkeley Marina.
It was cold and windy but oh so pretty!
There were flowers everywhere.
Goose had so much fun making this boquet.



One of the feral cats that lives behind our house had kittens a couple of weeks ago.
Goose and Binky are madly in love with all four of them!
We visit them each day.
I want them to come to us so we can spay and neuter them.
The mom and her siblings will not come near us, even though we've been feeding them for years.
So I'm hoping I can at least keep this generation from having more kittens.






They really are adorable.
I have already made it clear that we will NOT be bringing any of these kittens into our home!
Goose and Binky have started kitten journals to keep track of their growth and daily antics.
Binky gets to name this litter of kittens since Goose named the last one.
He wants to wait until they are a little older so he can see their personalities before naming them.
I like that idea!
