30 days of beautiful: days 7-16
I decided to do a collage of our trip, since one picture a day wouldn't cover it all.
Oh The Places We Went: Montreal, Quebec city (old and new towns), Chateau Frontenac, visited the White Mountains of NH, Dover NH, a little town in Maine, the Marginal Way, Portsmouth NH, Danbury CT, and back home.
Oh The Things We Saw: puppies, lots of smokers, runners/bikers/general athletic activity, old architecture, cobblestone streets, window boxes, a donkey, chickens, pigeons, cute little schoolchildren, tourist traps, cannons, rooftop gardens, Fiats, bicycles, carriages, rivers, mountains, a porcupine, flowers everywhere, the Atlantic, and big rocks.
Oh The Things
It was grand.
Here are yesterday's and today's pictures.

30 days of beautiful: day 5 / Update #11
~poor Bella~ |
Li'l Bella has sour crop crossed with impacted crop. Or something like that. It's a little gross, so be warned. I isolated her (on our front porch) for two weeks, giving her only water with apple cider vinegar, yogurt, and olive oil. I also massaged her bulbous crop everyday. I was trying to make her throw up, but it only worked twice. She seemed to get better at one point, but in the end we were right back where we started. I let her rejoin the flock (where she was pecked almost incessantly) to see what would happen. Yesterday, I successfully made her throw up four times, and this morning she looked so much better.
As the day wore on, her crop filled up with food (like it should), but it got bloated again (like it shouldn't). I think earlier in the spring (it's been like this for at least a month and a half) she ate really long grass and then ate straw in her little cage, which created a hard ball in her crop. It can't pass on, so she still looks big.
After lots of hard work, it's wonderful to see her doing even the tiniest bit better. I hope and, yes, pray that she will continue to be all right. Update later.

30 days of beautiful: day 1
This month I'm going to do a blogpost a day highlighting at least one beautiful thing I saw that day (though I'll probably have to write a combined post for the days we will be in Canada). I came up with this idea in March, when I was just longing for color and light (you know how dreary that middle month can be...). Enjoy!
