Missing this little creature
I miss Pirouette, but I'm happy that I found a loving family to take her in. They're animal lovers and she became the lady boss of the animals that live indoors: one young puppy and one shy cat, younger than her. There are also two hunting dogs that live outside (they have their own little house). They kept her inside for a month so she could get used to her new surroundings, then she was let out to explore the woods behind the house. They say she's very friendly and loving. I was apprehensive about her adaptation to a new family, because she was extremely attached to us, especially to Peter. After his death, she was behaving strangely, peeing all over the place and other things. The vet (lovely Olivier) put her on some natural capsules that I could open and put in her food, and she improved rapidly. I gave the rest of the capsules to Damien, so I expect she wasn't too distressed in her new surroundings. Here's the adorable Pirouette:

Let's All Relax!
Sometimes life demands that we just stop running around and take a nice walk.
I think today is a perfect time to do just that!
Anyone care to join me?

Illusions...
This floor is flat
This "triangle" changes when you move
The rows of tiles are all parallel
This is not a spiral, they are all separate circles

May is here !
The beautiful month of May is upon us. It was a long time coming this year ! Cinco de Mayo, Mother"s Day, and Memorial day will all be celebrated in the next few weeks. There are some other holidays scheduled in May that I was not aware of. Perhaps some of you have heard of these unique days.
This special day was conceived by C.L. Fornari, an author and radio personality. I know many of us will enjoy this day !
Bird Day is the oldest of the days set aside to recognize birds. It was first observed on May 4, 1894. It is one of several holidays celebrating birds.
May 6th- International No Diet Day
I think this one will be fun to celebrate! No Diet Day encourages us to appreciate the bodies we have, people come in all shapes and sizes.... and that's okay. It was created by Mary Evans Young in 1992. After personally experiencing anorexia , she worked to help people appreciate themselves for what they are.
May 3rd- Garden Meditation Day
This special day was conceived by C.L. Fornari, an author and radio personality. I know many of us will enjoy this day !

May 9th- Lost Sock Memorial Day
Who amongst us has not had this problem ? Matching socks go into the wash , a single sock comes out. It is a pet peeve of mine, I waste so much time searching for the elusive sock ! It is recommended to throw out all mismatched socks on this day. Face it, they are not going to turn up! 😁
May 25th- National Wine Day
We are going to need this day after searching for all the lost socks ! The day speaks for itself- Pour yourself a glass or two and relax!
May 31st- National Macaron Day
I thought this was the perfect holiday to celebrate as we often enjoy Macarons on this blog. I know anything chocolate usually wins out, but let's give these guys a chance on their special day!

The World's Coolest Rainbow
This cool rainbow appeared over California last week. How neat is this?

A Fire Rainbow is very rare. In order for this phenomenon to occur thousands of tiny hexagonal ice crystals have to line up perfectly and so does the sun.
Isn't nature awesome?
