INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

I am stunners..rest in peace FBB...she is flying free now..so sad for her family. The picture of her daughter...young..I was guessing 4 th or 5 th grade..so sad for the. My heart is breaking for the family. I too thought she had more time. We were emailing back and forth, and I sent her a card last week, and a present out yesterday .  I hope her hubby can use the present. It was sent to me awhile ago and I forwarded it to her thinking she needed it more than me.  It is a "dammit doll" you r suppose to beat it against something and beat the stuffing out of it to feel better. It comes with instructions. Hope they receive it well...don't want to cause them anymore pain....

Ohhhhhh I am so so sad...to young to quick, and a lovely lovely person.

I am completely stunned and devastated by this. Just got on this morning and see this, I'm crying thinking of FBB. I thought she had more time too.

Thinnking of her family. Hoping she is at peace now and no more pain.

Nettie, I understand, I am very upset, and also like you say it send us all to fear I worry too but I also know that only in this site I connected with people who really get what I am now, what I fear, what I think. I do pull away sometimes. It helps 

Now going to my walk I really need to let out some anger with those poles.

Sending you all hugs.

I ll stop by a lady whom I gave a bird feeder a few weeks ago. I need to sit in her garden for a few minutes and just watch the wild birds feed away. 

Later alligator 🐊 

Here is a photo of the fancy country club that I am playing in a 3 day tournament, starting today. It will be exhausting. There are deer on the golf course, birds of all sorts, the river. I will keep Kristine & her family in my thoughts. 

Jwoo, I enjoyed that song....I will listen to it again.

Sas, you don't think it would cause more sadness?  i know they must be torn apart. 

ok I went to my friends house, no one was there so I let myself in to the back yard, (they allow me to do so) I then filled up the bird feeder I brought a new huge bag of food for the feeder. I sat there and watch the birds so happy with my feeder lol I took a few pictures of there garden and my bird feeder lol I also left my also plant there for them I thinking will survive better in their care. It was big and beautiful and the one day temperature went down and I forgot to take her in next day she was dead, it broke my heart but sure enough two small ones started room grow so gave it to my dear friends. Then I went to to the lake for my usual pole walk.  Here are a few pictures  

I had fbb in my mind wile I watch these birds eat away. They have a little nest too. My friends are an older couple Italians they are very good to me, they give me vegetables from their garden during summer lol

HOLEINONE good luck on the tournament  

Chevy look at this garden I can't wait for their grapes to be ready lol 

I have read thru here and on the Movin' On thread this morning. I'm just devastated by the loss of our Fierce One Kristine. I read this early this morning and am just now somewhat able to post.

Thank you Nihahi for letting us know about our friend. I will miss her wit and spunkiness. May God have welcomed her with open arms and I treasure the day I will meet her again. I believe in a heaven with no pain and utter happiness and to me that means she will have the dogs, goats, horses, bunnies, chickens anything that brings happiness eternally.

There is nothing wrong with Kristine's death reminding us of our own mortality. One more reason to make today and every day special. I'm going to try to do something to honor that today in her memory.

I think Enerva it's high time I get my feeders filled up. Heat index be damned I'm going out there right now. Beautiful garden. BTW I did the same thing with a plant I had. It was dead and it sat outside all winter. Sure enough it has lovely leaves coming up from the tubers.

I am stunned and heartbroken, but like luvmygoats, I have the same vision of Heaven as a place of no more sorrow, no more pain, and eternal happiness with loved ones. Rest in peace, Sweet FierceBlueBird. I am hearing the words to "I'll Fly Away" in my head.

JWoo - I think that one of the things we all want is to know that somehow, in some way, we made a difference on this earth. FBB certainly did that to us.... she changed us, and for the better. If she inspired you to create a beautiful painting, then I think her family would cherish it if you were to send it to them. After someone you love passes, it is absolutely wondrous to see how many strangers were affected by their life.

Talk to you gals in the morning....xoxoxoxo

If you read Fierce's FB page she loved Shiba Inu dogs so oriental motif is perfect. That is the breed of dog in the canoe with her - hard to believe only July 4th. I have a feeling Brie and Brett are her children.

You are right, I can't remember what she used for a name in the beginning nor when the switch was made. But she did tell us why.

I did get the one feeder filled up. I think I had posted we have had more bluebirds this year than I have ever seen, even 1 in my backyard. I see them out front freq. esp on the fenceline. Don't know what has done that, maybe they are feasting (hope fingers crossed) on those grasshoppers.

BTW Sassy the Ortho Home Defense (.05% Bifenthrin .0125% Zeta-Cypermethrin) has stopped the scorpion invasion and is doing in the giant flying beetles on the back porch. The lady that sold us the hay suggested this from Tractor Supply which was out of supply so we went with another brand. All DH did was spray along some of the foundation line where he suspected they were coming in.

Cami - I have wild grapevines - no grapes birds eat them. Does that make me Italian? Just kidding. Haven't had that wine yet - maybe tonight.

Thanks ladies. I will send it on, but later as Sas suggested.  That will give me time to process, and find the right words to say. I sent a friend request to her FB, hoping that her family will keep it as a memorial page. I am just in shock, really did not expect her to go, and certainly not so fast. 

Smaarty, beautiful photo...

I'm fine with that jwoo. I understand, when SAS disappeared we were all worried. 

Jwoo, I think that's a fine idea, those who are not comfortable, can choose to sit out. 

I love that Kristine was open & very honest these last 2 weeks. I truly believe we cannot predict our own behavior until we are living it. She set the bar high with her personality.

She said in her email that she gained strength from us, and loved us all. 

Like all of you, she has been in my constant thought process today. 

Hugs to all, thanks for being in my life and letting me be in yours....
