Missed photo ops!!
It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Everyone except Redmond has been "laid up", as we say here in the South, with a cold that has left us with nasty ear infections. My right ear still is filled with fluid to the point that I can barely hear with it, and I feel constant, irritating pressure. Mom has the same problem. Unfortunately, giving Sadie antibiotics is more challenging than pilling a cat. She outright refuses to take it directly, and she can taste it immediately in milk and other beverages. We've had to resort to a variety of stealthy tricks, such as stirring it in ice cream (which occasionally works), half melted popsicles, sherbet and yogurt. Sometimes she'll eat the secretly laced food and other times she figures us out pretty quickly. Augmentin must be given twice a day, and it apparently tastes nasty.
Mom, Redmond and I attended the Piedmont Wildlife Festival in Durham on Saturday. This is the first annual offering, was sponsored by the Piedmont Wildlife Center, and we all had a great time. Mom ended up joining the Piedmont Wildlife Center and is planning to enroll in classes in order to become a wildlife rehabilitator. Sadie had the opportunity to actually pet a small alligator and a turtle, and we also had a chance to visit a red-tailed hawk and an opossum.
There were live bluegrass bands and food vendors, and Sadie sat on the lawn and tapped her feet to the music.
But woe of woes, I turned on my camera, and found I had left my memory card at home! Curses! There were so many great photo and video ops.
I do have some pictures from Sunday. We had a picnic at Cedar Falls Park and had dessert at Maple View Dairy. I took a few shots at Maple View, as I'm so fortunate to have views like this in my own neighborhood.
Sadie has decided that she wants to be a puppy. She frequently pants and slurps. I'm not sure, but it's possible that she actually licked the picnic table here. I know they say today's children are so clean that they are not building up immunity, but that's not the way we roll. Apparently.
This video was taken at Maple View Dairy. Sadie spots a 10 month old crawling baby, and drops to the ground to crawl with her.
Some pics...
Sadie always makes a beeline to the swingset.
Sadie leaps into her Mee-Maw's arms. She spent Saturday night with Mom. Now that Mom is not watching Sadie full time, she occasionally has Sadie sleepover on Saturday nights so that Redmond and I can have a date night. This weekend, we went to the movies and hung out at the bookstore.
Climbing the ladder up to the slide.
No, I don't want to get down and have dinner!
Playing with a flower from a tulip poplar tree. She said "I LIKE tulip flowers". Lately, she's been announcing things she likes and loves. She loves ice cream and eggs. And she likes flowers.

This is a regular sight on a Saturday evening. When I was pregnant, I noticed that I was usually one of about a gazillion pregnant women standing in line for the sacred ice cream. On the weekends, it seems that half of the children in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough are here. It's a rare occasion when Redmond doesn't bump into one of his current or former students.
Sadie, enjoying some chocolate ice cream.
