Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 6

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting the variety of animals that they show off at the show they offer at the very far end of the zoo. Unfortunately, there was a birthday party going on, so we had to wait for all those noisy, little kiddies. But, as mentioned, once, they left (in future pics), we got some good shots. These pics include some adults hands, etc because everyone was so excited to pet all these animals! I managed to pet them AND snap away with my camera!

Here are:

1st-guinea pig

2nd-albino hedgehog

3rd-baby mink

4th-baby fox

5th-tamandua

6th-8th-baby wallaby

I'll have a few more next time too!

Well, this week was uneventful...school is going good. Finished a marketing/sales course this week. It was actually quite interesting with stuff that I think I might use! Next week I should start HTML and then onward and upward from there! I've been feeling pretty crappy with allergies and now pink eye! SIGH...not sure what I'm allergic too though! Glad to have today off to laze around and hang out with my doggie! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 5

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting a few more of the farm animals from Saunders Farm. This time some donkey pics, some pigs and a couple of lazy llamas...I rarely see them laying around like this, so I snapped away!

Next time I'll be highlighting the animals that they showcase as well as bring them around for you to pet, etc. I think I got some really cute photos there (after the show was done and all those noisy little kids had left!)

Well, I survived another week of school. It's going pretty good. I'm on my third course and also did 3 exams for the courses I was exempted from. Can't wait to get into the web design stuff! Nothing overly exciting this week, just Keturah hitting a raccoon and damaging my bumper this week! Kevin had to take it in for repair work...it's as good as new!

Have a great week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 4

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more of the mini horse and llama, along with a couple of donkey pics!

Sorry I missed posting on Friday. Kevin and I went on a road trip to Campbellford for the day as I had to pick up an order. We also stopped at the Big Apple and when we got home, I was feeling kind of crappy..I've been fighting off Keturah's cold and have managed to so far (knock on wood!)

Brooke made it home on Saturday and yes, her train was late yet again, but she caught her connecting train, so got home almost on time! Yesterday, we had a yummy turkey dinner and visit with my family and today we are heading to Kevin's family for another yummy meal!

I think I will try posting only once per week...Life is getting a bit busier, with school and life! :-) I will likely post once on the weekend..no set day though! I'll surprise you!

Have a great week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 3

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more animals from the Saunders Country Farm and Zoo!

1st-the same Fallow Deer
2nd-Vietnamese Potbellied Pig
3rd-Tibetan Yak
4th-Painted Pony
5th-Pheasant
6th-Scottish Highland Cattle
7th-Palomino Mini Horse
8th-Llama

More of these next time!

Well, I think I might survive posting twice a week! I wasn't sure about posting today, but I'm not as tired as I thought I would be and not as tired of looking at a computer screen that I thought I'd be either!

Things are going well with school. The course I did yesterday and today, was review with some new multimedia stuff included and today I started another course, which is kind of boring and a review as well..can't wait to get into the "meat" of the program. On a good note, I did get a few exemptions for my past experience, so am taking a couple of electives from another program they offer!

Looking forward to having Friday off this week! Putting in extra hours, so I can have a longer, long weekend! :-)

More later this week!

Saunders Country Zoo, Pt. 2

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more photos of the animals found at the Saunders Farm/Zoo....

1st photo: Fennec Fox

2nd photo: Tamandua (he's eating, laying down like that!)

3rd, 4th & 5th photos:Fallow Deer and a Dama Wallaby thrown in too!

7th-9th photos: Capybara (and Brooke feeding it!)

Well, I guess I'll be starting school on Monday! Exciting but scary too! It should be interesting to say the least. I'm taking a Website Designer Program at Academy of Learning in Kingston. I know it will be challenging, but I hope it's not too hard! :-) I'm going to try to keep highlighting photos here twice per week, but the days I update may have to change!

Our friends from Ottawa, stopped in Napanee on Tuesday night on their way home and we enjoyed a dinner and visit with them! This is the week to catch up I guess...

I also had a great lunch with Lynn and Melissa yesterday..went by too fast though. Today I'm having lunch with my other friend, Melissa, who I haven't seen in ages..thank goodness for texting, so we can keep in touch!

Nothing planned for the weekend. Keturah is working on Saturday night, so we won't be able to go too far tomorrow...not that we do anyway...

Have a great weekend! 

Saunders Country Zoo-Farm Animals

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting some photos of some of the farm animals found at Saunders Country Critters Zoo and Garden Centre. We went for a visit to Ottawa the end of June and our friends took us to this awesome place...They have such a variety of animals to view and a wonderful "meet the animals" show as well, we got to pet so many exotic animals because we stuck around and talked to the owners/employees (after all the little kids left!) :-)

So, over the next few weeks, I'll be highlighting more of the animals found there! These are mostly goats but can't remember exactly the kind they are...the second to last one is an angora goat with the curly hair! The last one is a sheep...I don't like to post photos of animals with fences in their face, but this one was too cute!

Well, we didn't make it to the zoo on Friday...Keturah had to go to the doctors and get blood work done, so when she was done with that, we went shopping in Kingston for the day. Kevin had to work at QMS too for a couple of days and all this week as well, so he wouldn't have been able to come! So, not sure when we will get there!

This week will be a busy one again with dentist for Keturah and a couple of long overdue lunch dates with some friends that I haven't seen in awhile on Thurs and Fri. Still waiting to hear about school. It's waiting final approval, so I should find out by the end of this week and hopefully start next week!

I'll likely be back with more on Friday! Enjoy your week!

 

Springside Park Plants

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting the last of the photos from the Springside Park visit in early July. These include some raspberries, a thistle and some flowers..maybe weeds..I'm not a gardener of any kind, so don't know what any plants are called! :-)

Well, last week we headed to Grand Manan again for a quick visit...to check out a couple of properties...we were going to go in August, but Kevin got called to the school to work, so we never went, but since he's off now and we had the time, we packed up and went. We drove through the night on the way down, which really sucked and don't know if I'd do it again...I didn't sleep much when Kevin was driving, so when it came my turn at 2am..I had to stop and get some caffeine and we had to survive on coffee all the next day while we toured around. We had one full day of sightseeing...visiting all our favourite haunts and talking to people who live there! We drove straight home on Saturday, so that was a long day too, but more manageable because we had gotten a good night sleep the night before.

This week, I hope will be quieter...:-) Today is Keturah's 17th birthday..hard to believe she is that old...that, I'm THAT old! :-) In less than one year, she will be off to college! Scary, but exciting! 

We may head to the zoo on Friday as it's a PA day, so I may not post again this week! Hopefully the weather cooperates..it hasn't all summer! I have passes for the zoo and we've been trying to go since June, but every time Brooke had a day off it rained or threatened to, so we will hopefully go Friday.

Enjoy your week!
