dusterbear stinkerbug learning how to trap. 2 coons and a beaver (with Nickie)

Sad

Sad today.

The weight of my tears

The Weight of my tears.

To lean on ones back
so advanced in years,
to crumble and crack
'neath the weight of my tears.

Why would I burden one
tethered to his fears
and would drown in a pool
'neath the weight of my tears?

His pain is what's valid
not others it appears,
when I try to share
the weight of my tears.

Crying alone to own the hurt
quiet the sound, and quiet his ears,
that he not be alerted to
the weight of my tears.

Turned now to silence
sorrow to angry leers,
for the calluses to form
'neath the weight of my tears.

Loneliness and sorrows
grown heavy over years,
this heart pressed to stone
'neath the weight of my tears...

Well I just had my nails done by my ex-husbands sweet heart Marie Murphy, Marie I must say I just love them thank you doll!!!

OK this is my cool lil buddy her name is Nikki she is teaching my family and I how to trap, this is one of her earlier catches this year these were some pretty big beaver, and they are becoming quite a menace in our area ? I fear if she doesn't get a handle on them our clean waterways might at some point become compromised.
today she hasn't gotten her pictures up yet so I can't put them on here but she and my son came home with 2 coons at about 20lbs a piece and a smaller beaver she has trapped 6 animals already this week. clearly they are a problem and the problem is just getting worse.

                     OK I started with this entertainment center that I have had in storage for years

                           Then cut some holes and dropped in an ol' faucet and a stainless bowl.

 Next I took an old folding table apart and placed this portion on the end of the soon to be kid kitchen.

                                                     As you can see it folds away nicely.

                                       Tile goes on and then some parts form my broken stove...
                        So far I have had everything and have not needed to buy much but odds and ends.

 A little paint and a white board for a fridge and some cute chairs spray painted to go with it and Viole!!!

                                                   OH yea this side is a lovely chalk board.
