Spring discoveries
[email protected]
We have this old, sweet cat with kidney failure. He gets sub cutaneous
fluids everyday and when we first started this treatment Dylan was
uncomfortable about it. He started reading about kidney function and
failure and the success rate of kidney transplants in cats, to try and
understand what was happening to our friend. The first time we gave the
fluids, he held the cat for me and he was nervous, but glad to help. In
a few day's he was comforting the Mr. Fuzzy and holding him and the whole
operation was pretty slick and fast. Then he asked if he could give the
fluids, and I showed him how and he did a fine job even though his hands
were shaking and the syringe was big. He hasn't asked about giving the
fluids again, but now he knows he can if he has to and he knows something
new about himself, too. He doesn't talk about it but it's all over him,
a confidence in the kind of person he is and the kind's of things he can
do.
And we've been out hiking, bird watching, admiring the spring. We took
a ride over the old stage coach road between Deer Lodge and Gold creek
and talked about history and elevation and tree growth and wild flowers.
We saw birds we never see in town, Mountain Bluebirds and Meadow Larks
and Wilson's Phalaropes. We got a flat tire and Dylan learned how to
use the jack. We ate lunch on a big rock and looked up to find three
white tail deer investigating us.
We startled a Red Tailed hawk and found the Crow he was devouring. He
had removed it's head and the feathers on its breast and already eaten
much of the innards. We moved away some to see if he'd come back but he
didn't. We wondered who else might eat there after we were gone. We
watched a Killdeer running on the mud flats of an old dredge pond,
darting around catching bugs and talked about how they will act wounded,
and try to lure you away if you come too close to a nest. We never found
the nest, if there was one, or saw the mate, but we watched raptly as he
went about his business.
At home we're digging out a new garden space and building a fence. Dylan
helps some and then wanders down to the creek. His shoes were soaked
yesterday when he came home but we got the report that there are frogs
and little fish and water bug galore. He brought a smooth round rock to
mark the grave of a Cedar Wax wing we found dead in the road. A Starling
crept through the vent in our attic and was roaming around under the eve
of our roof, inside the siding. We wondered how we'd ever get her out,
but after she'd inspected everything she popped back out on her own.
Maybe she has plans to make a nest in there. Last year we had bats, and
swore we'd cover that vent, but here we are again with home invaders.
Dylan saw his first Western Tanager on Friday. The list he keeps of
birds he can identify is getting fairly long.
We've had beautiful aurora's and have been up late watching the sky.
Jupiter and Venus are brilliant in the western horizon, and Dylan can
find some of the constellations, and makes up some of his own. We made
marshmallows for our hot chocolate and now we sky watch in comfort.
He cut his hair, he took a pet sitting job for four days, he's building
a cat scratching post. His friends still can't come and play because
they're counting down these last ten days of school. In a few weeks the
county superintendent will call and ask where our attendance record is
and I'll march down there and give him the little piece of paper that
says Dylan was learning for 180 days. <g>

Deb, where you lives sounds so beautiful. We live on a 10,000 sq.
ft. lot with people all around us. Thank goodness we at least have
a narrow woods in our backyard that buffers us from the neighbors
behind us.
Because of what I learned from a recent trip to a butterfly house, I
was able to spot caterpillar eggs on some leaves on one of the trees
in the woods. There was a ladybug going from leaf to leaf, munching
away.
There are little wonders of life we can see in the suburbs, that is
if my neighbors don't go crazy with the pesticides.
I enjoy reading about your days. Sorry to hear about your cat.

>Sorry to hear about your cat.Thanks Pat. We're all so sad to know he doesn't have much longer, but he
seems happy right now and he's up and around everyday, enjoying sunny
windows and warm laps and being spoiled.
He'll be seventeen in the fall, if he makes it that long, and when he's
gone things just wont be the same.

Thanks so much for the narratives on your days. I really enjoy
reading them! What prompted Dylan to cut his hair?
We've been planting strawberries, sunflowers and herbs (that's
pronounced 'h'erbs, because it's got a fucking H in it - courtesy
of Eddie Izzard <g>) the last few days. We keep unearthing the
squirrels forgotten acorn stores. We also found a dead mole at
the entrance to his hole, I think a cat got him.
We're going to have a picnic today but it's very overcast, a bit
windy, and looks like rain. We'll either picnic in the rain, or if it
gets really bad, we'll come back here and picnic on the front
porch.
We've just finished building an island with a volcano on it for
Tamzin's dinosaurs. We're going to erupt the volcano in a
couple of days (when the papier mache and varnish is dry). She
wants to make sure the lava flows over some of the dinos so
they can get fossilized <g>.
We got a pair of $2.00 roller skates (almost new!) at a garage
sale on Friday and she's been skating around the house and up
and down the front porch since then. She tried skating on the
back patio, but Angel (one of our dogs) was too intent on chasing
after her <g>. I think I'll take her to an empty parking lot or
somewhere else to skate today as well as the picnic.
I've started a cleaning business! It's called Natural Enviroment
Cleaning Service. I only use natural products, most of which I
make myself. If anyone has any recipes for citrus based natural
cleaners I'd appreciate if you could pass them onto me, I've yet to
find a citrus based formula that I like. I'm also thinking about
selling the cleaning products I make to my customers, but that's
still in the planning stages.

The little Shi tzu (sp?) comes along right after and digs everything out!
We threatened him but I still find him carrying around the onion sets.
It's so morbidly fascinating to find someone dead. Sad, and horrible and
fascinating. Did you have to have funeral for the mole?

big trend around here lately of folks being allergic to cleaning agents,
so I bet your products will go over well. Good luck with that. Do you
make furniture polish too? What about stinky pet odor remover stuff? (

However,
I am very wary of citrus cleaners. One of my many various responsibilities
is keeping our MSDS book up to date for the shop and backstage areas. It's
an OSHA regulation. Most citrus based cleaners, natural or un, have much
stricter storage, handling, and use procedures than most of the other
cleaning products we use. The natural variety often contain all of the very
powerful insecticides that protect the fruit from infestation while growing,
in a concentration that make them difficult to handle in every day use,
because you have to use respirators and complete barriers to the skin.
I'm away on vacation now and can't get to my materials, but I believe this
class of cleaner has been linked to infertility and miscarriage, at small
exposures for long periods of time. I'm remembering from a workshop that
this was the class of chemicals in the air at either an IBM or Xerox
factory, at a very small level where there was four times the number of
miscarriages above the norm. 409 has them too, so I think we're all back to
water and baking soda. If you're interested, I'll be glad to look all this
up and site it more specifically when I get back (and get caught up).
As one of my favorite industrial hygienist says "Natural has no relation to
safety." and "Take these words out of your vocabulary: Safe and Non Toxic."

Sunshine, wine flowing and her dh cooking up the meanest Salmon and shrimp in

What a joy it is to have other unschoolers to hang with.
It's kinda bittersweet though, as they move to NC next month...waaaaaaah.
