They do look sunny, don't they? It's still 0-dark-30 here on the west coast,. I've been up quite a while. Dreams kept me from a restful sleep. I came out to the living room to pray and catch up on journals. It's quiet right now, but in about an hour there will be morning noises to hear.
The dove, Scooter is already cooing and Skeeter in her cage next to him warbles back. Put them in the same cage and it would be a fight to the death. People are like that sometimes, too.
The dog is sleeping upside down on the couch with his eyes open, all four feet sprawled in the air. Dufus is sleeping in his warm fuzzy thing and his new "friend" is sleeping in his/hers. We thought (think?) the new bird, a Jenday Conure, was a boy, but Dufus has complete;y taken over his/her grooming and they are grossing the girls out by tongue kissing. EEEEWWWW!
We named the new one Rufus, to go with Dufus, but alas, I think Rufus may not fit. Rufina might be the obvious, but as I typed the subject for today, I thought Sunny might be just the right name - would fit no matter what sex he/she might be. I hope to run it by everyone before they read my journal. Here he/she is:
This little one was born on May 31st last year. Unlike the Sun Conure, he/she will not stay this small. Guesstimates are 12 - 15 inches, where Dufus is about 6 - 8. Her - I'm really thinking of him as her - color will be mostly orange breast with that beautiful yellow head. I don't know how much green she will retain, but she's beautiful just the same.
We welcome her sunshine-y self to Dufus' world and to ours.
Be blessed in the Lord today,

I don't know anything about birds, but they are just beautiful. I think Sunny is a great name, and even fits if the bird is male (Sonny).
Hugs,

Dear Penny,
I enjoy reading your stories and you and hubby and the girls. Lupee is precious. They are just God's gift. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us on J-land. Have a wonderful weekend. Keep in your prayers another J-Land http://journals.aol.com/mosie1944/MYCOUNTRYLIFE/entries/1551 (mosie1944) She lives in rural Missouri. Another J-land friend from Washington, DC came to visit Mosie (Donna and Cliff) She noticed Cliff had bad ingestion. To make a long story short. Nuclear Stress Test revealed he needed quadruple by-pass surgery immediately. He made it through and may come home Sunday. I love many of my J-land people. God is pleased with you and your husband. I'll keep you and your family on my prayer list.
In Christ,
Gabrielle
