Valentine's Day

 
On Valentines Day, I think about
the people who are dear, how much they add
to life's delight whenever they are near.
You've always been a total joy,
such pleasant company,
I very much appreciate
our compatibility!

WELCOME Tea lovers and serial collectors, too!!!

Valentine Treasures
 
Valentine treasures are people who have often
crossed your mind,
family, friends and others, too
who in your life have shined
the warmth of love or a spark of light
that makes you remember them;
no matter how long since you've actually met,
each one is a luminous gem,
who gleems and glows in your memory,
bringing special pleasures, and that's why
this Valentine comes to you...
you're one of those sparkling treasures!
 
Hugs, Betty

Valentine Smile

 
Valentine Smile
 
On Valentines day we think of those
who make our lives worthwhile,
those gracious, friendly people
who we think of with a smile.
 
I'm fortunate to know you,
that's why i want to say,
to a rare and special person...
Happy Valentines Day!

My Parakeets and Rosy Bourke Grasskeets

My Rosy Bourke Grasskeets are not quite as pink as this one pictured.
 
They are so gentle and attentive whe I hold and talk to them.
Mine are one year olds, Rosa and Arthur, with a nest box.
However, no eggs yet!
 
My 4 regular Parakeets are like one you see in a pet store.
Mine are probably around 8 weeks old, white and blue.
They will pair off and get nest boxes in January 2014.
Mindy, Rissa, Chad and Rhett (not in that order).
 
I will probably sell all babies or stop breeding them.
Time will tell!

I've been away...

Hi everyone!

I've been away quite a bit.  I look forward to visiting
with my fellow blogger friends and to meet many new
ones!  I get sidetracked with health issues but, "I'm back!"
