I have to show off my new cockatiel cage!!!  I had it custom made by a guy who specializes in rabbit products.  It is six feet tall four feet wide and two feet deep. The 'tiels can fly around in there. There are five in the cage , Vincent and JJ the parents and their three babies from last summer.  I also have another baby, "Binky" behind me at my computer desk. He got the old cage and he likes it very much too! Six cockatiels you say???? And boy do they sing in the morning. It irritates Paul and Lily sometimes, but I just pretend I'm in Australia. 

  If  ever I am looking for abundance in my life it comes in the form of animals.  I'm getting some "pet " bunnies back that didn't work out for some people, and one of my escapees was recaptured and promptly had a litter of  eight!!! The chickens are giving eggs, GIANT eggs, And we traded eggs for home made Maple syrup made this spring by our neighbor.  The goats are so cute, we didn't breed them this year, 

I have been using a meditation technique to reach alpha brain wave level. Don't ask me to explain how it works, but the program I got reminded me of hypnoisis and since I know hypnosis it was easy for me. I am now integrating that into my creative pursuits and am going to finish all ALL of the unfinished paintings I have accumulated. I think it's approaching thirty paintings.  Finish them in alpha brain level.  I have implemented it in the band environment and it very much enhanced my "music buzz"  or what Lily calls a band-gasm. ha ha but I'm off now it's my one day off.Later D
