Thankful on Thursday
Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of being in our new house. We are so thankful for our new house and especially after that little time in the condo (...excuse me, Tommy, but that was 5-1/2 months remember?). So we'd like to show you some pretty areas outside of our world. Now we don't get to go out there except when we get hauled out to the stabby place at the v.e.t. so we haven't been there ourselves. We have lots to be thankful for, especially my our new tunnel, but there's an ocean, a big river, and sand, and birds all nearby. The Mom took some pictures to show you. Enjoy!
First, we have lots of different kinds of trees in our backyard for the birds to hang out in. They are Magnolia's, Wax Myrtles, Willow Oaks, Long Leaf Pines, and plenty of places for the birds to fly and eat. Even the tiny hummingbirds come by.

| Here's the intracoastal waterway a few streets away from us. Those are oyster beds in the water. |
 |
| This is one of the big birds that fly all over the place here. We don't know what kind it is but we think it's looking for lunch. 👀 |
 |
| The oysters here are the Eastern Oyster. |

Next we have this area on the Cape Fear river in Southport. It is even pretty on a cloudy day.

Next we have the beautiful beach on Oak Island, NC. If we walked a straight line it would be about a mile away from our house. But it takes a while for the big metal monster to get there from where we live.

This was low tide on a windy day in January when the sea foam blew over the sand. Mom said it was funny looking and was blowing and jiggling all over the beach.

That's it for now! We hope you enjoyed the views and thanks for stopping by!
Purrs,
Tommy & Teaghan
Thanks Tommy and Teaghan, this cheers Lynn up fur-om winter woes. (we have a peek of sun today). Are you two having oysters fur lunch? I've never had 'em, but I bet they are delish. Precious
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful area and you both are very lucky to have landed in such a cool spot! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteI love every picture! I will have to ask my boys if they have been there I suspect they have. (one lives in Charlotte and we go visit from TN frequently).
ReplyDeleteDearest Tommy and Teaghan,
ReplyDeleteLove your story about the new furrever home!
Well, the big metal monster would take over 6 hours for us to reach that lovely beach on Oak Island.
You both have interesting views from your windows!
Big hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
Thanks for sharing the photos. You have moved to a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "We have an ocean here, too! Dada says it is not the same ocean, even though all the oceans are connected. I am not sure how that works. Sounds like just one ocean to me."
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Never mind that! Tell us more about the birds!"
My dad says to thank you guys for these pix. They reminded him of his and my mom's time living in Wilmington and visiting Oak Island and Southport. If you can believe it, they actually walked one time all the way to Oak Island from Fort Fisher Beach! Fools. That's a lot of miles, especially in sand. You sure do live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place you now call home!
