Wordless Wednesday, Hump Day and Fun Fri-Yay have come to you in one fell swoop this week. Today continues to have me throwing my hands up in wonderment. I do try not to be judgemental but some things just leave me perplexed and I wonder.
I wasn’t going to post today but as I continue to check the fence line where the Redwoods were cut, my neighbors have now made their business mine.
I wonder why, how or for what reason people would take wild animals out of their native environment to live in a corral when they are born to be wild and free.
So today, here you have it straight out of the “horse’s mouth” if you will:
Last Saturday I went for a visit and got a full on view. See for yourself:
I went to see how I can start planting trees without breaking the bank since trees are so expensive and take a long time to grow and I was greeted by another surprise. This sure made last week’s Hump Day and this week’s even more of a reality than I could have possibly imagined.
Alrighty so on to fun Fri-Yay NOT; which is a garage sale but I’m calling it an estate sale so I can get a few more dollars I hope. But mostly to move it since NO ONE will come any more for donations without it being in perfect condition. It makes me wonder if that’s why we have so much stuff that goes into our landfills sadly.
I’m sure we’ll have some fun but let’s just say I never thought I would do one of these again. Never say never. The good news is we’re emptying out and the remodel starts next week when the fun will have just begun.. Hahahahahahahaaha! 🤣
Have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend until we meet again next Monday for Part 4 of Putting your Dreams into action.
Keep Smiling!

Wow those are some unusual pets! I was amused to hear you say – sorry you have to be in a cage :)) Loved that you said it. Wishing you happy times with your clearing out sale and the remodeling! Look forward to your Monday’s walk(perhaps) and talk on Dreams into Action.
oh thanks dear Pragalbha! They are yes and now I’m torn between judgement and heart cuz they are so cute and I want to visit them but I don’t want the mountain lion coming my way again. Thanks so much.. You’re local so feel free to come and grab a load on me or I’ll put you to work.. hahahh 🤣
A little walking monday stroll and I got it down to 4 minutes…. Glad you are looking forward to it! 💖
I will consider the invitation :)) Yes I get it about judgment and heart – maybe the animals do need your heart and it is important you visit them.
oh wouldn’t that be fun.. yes, maybe so.. they are awfully cute and should be free but now that they’re here .. I think so.. 💖💖
Maybe your neighbors are related to Pablo Escobar. He had a full zoo on his property. I hope you are upwind. 🦓💩
I hope the estate sale and remodel go well. 🤗❤️🙏
that’s a possibility. .. 🤣🤣
Thanks my friend and I do too! 💖
Oh Cindy, such a shame to see those wild animals locked up 😳
Good luck with the garage sale! 🤩❤️
I know!!!!!!! Thanks I so agree!
much appreciated!!!💖💖
💕
💖💖🙏

I agree with Pragalbha. I appreciate you saying that it is a shame they have to live in cages. Doesn’t make much sense to me.
I do like your vision of the estate sale instead of garage sale. It is all about the marketing.

Wishing you the best of the estate sale and remodel! Your neighbors may be starting a petting zoo, I wonder what will show up over there next? 😆
Cindy, I am so glad you are finally getting the bathroom of your dreams! I hope it lives up to your expectations. <3
Do you think your neighbors have a license to keep exotic animals?
OMG, you are talking about almost the same thing I did in my WQW post today. 🙂 Good luck with your garage sale.
Good luck with your estate sale…it is a shame humans feel they can domesticate wild critters…sad. So have a good sale Cindy 🤓🤍🕊hugs hedy
I would love all the animals to be free. Thanks Cindy it was a beautiful post.💝
WTF Cindy? 😲 He has a zebra on a leash and are those baby camels??? Who are you living next door to…Tiger King? SMDH I don’t think I need to comment any further because I have a lot of pent-up hostility brewing within right now and the expletives are not family friendly! I am just in shock! It seems like there should be some type of law against this. UGH!!! 🤬😠😡
Wow Cindy, this is really odd. How are they even allowed to have these animals? It breaks my heart to see these animals on leashes. Good luck with solving this mystery. On a lighter note, I am so glad your remodeling will be happening soon. Good luck on the estate sale, I’m sure it will be a success .💕🙏💕
I know Grace… I so agree with you. I did exchange a text today… it was awkward but cordial and I didn’t shy away from stating my concern for them. Too long to go into here… One mystery at a time… 🤣 in the meantime at least progress is going on here. Thanks soooo much!!! 💖💖
I’m so glad to hear that Cindy, progress is always good.💕😊💕
so much so!! 💖
💕🙏💕
Must be something to learn you live next to a zoo! It is sad to see the zebra confined and without a zebra companion. 😢 They have a good neighbor in you, with your big heart. Good luck with the remodel! Been there done that a few times. 😭 Stressful, disruptive, and expensive. Worth it though!
You’re so right Michele and thank you for that. They are awfully cute. Oh my thank you so much, I appreciate that. When you’ve done it before ( I have too), you just brace yourself and get ready for the onslaught. You nailed all of the key points! Thanks for the support!
🙏🙏💖
My privilege. 🙏🏻💝
💖💖🙏
There’s a lot of words for being Wordless Wednesday.
hahahah 🤣 true!
Good luck with your garage sale. Hope you have fun with your remodeling and makeover Cindy. 💖
Awww! Garage sale! Zebra as pet unusual
It’s a surprise day indeed! These humans are shameless. They’ve now gone ahead and decided to cage wild animals, zebra?! 😆😂😂 very crazy! They are full of daring surprises. Good lack with the sale, dear. Can’t wait enough for Fri-Yay Funday. 💖💖
Yes indeed it is Lam but so much of life I don’t understand. We do our best to find the good and carry on. Thanks so much for visiting today. I’ll be missing you Friday but visit you! 💖💖
Actually there’s a lot that happens around that’s interestingly incomprehensible. Do you mean to say there will be no Fri-Yay? Oh I hope it will be available. 😒 Ya know how it does give me some sort of excitement and emotional leverage, dearest. 😀💖💖
Your neighbors have a zebra ⁉️
And 2 🐫 🙇♀️
🤦
Zebra’s can be quiet vicious, they’re not domestic horses. How would you even get a baby Zebra, I probably don’t want to know =/
Cindy, you go girl. Call it an Estate Sale. I recall when they started naming every apartment and condominium “luxury,” so “estate” is just par for the course. We love John Barry. We have recently worn out a CD of his select songs from various movies. “Born Free” is among them. “Out of Africa” and my wife’s favorite “Somewhere in Time” are also thereon. (She loves her some Christopher Reeve.) Keith
You’re unique, Cindy, but your neighbours are more than unique. Is it allowed in your country to keep wild animals as pets? Good wishes for your estate sale! Have fun, as always 👍💖
You are right on both counts Kausal. I can’t imagine how but with our remodel coming up, I don’t want to ruffle feathers but I’m looking into it. Thank you so much and appreciate your wishes!!❤️💕
It’s always a pleasure to read you, Cindy💖🙏
Thanks dear friend!💖💖
Wow Cindy you are a class apart. Your neighbours are keeping wild animals as pets. That is great. Nice video and overall loved your post, Cindy.
I don’t get it either. If you really love zebras, help preserve their habitat!
Thank you VJ for your care of our wildlife!💖
Welcome
OMG Cindy, you are living next to a zoo! Is that a sanctuary, or do they have a petting zoo?
How exciting to start your renovations! I cannot wait for the before and after pictures.
I hope you make good money with the sale. It is crazy that we cannot even donate anything now. It pains me to throw good stuff out. Blessings! ♥
I know right?! It’s so bizarre to me. Thanks sooo much. I am really excited and gearing up for all that goes with it. I’ll send them in stages as we go so you can get an up close and personal experience 🥰🤣😎
I DOOOOO TOOOOO and yet you’re so right, no one takes anything.. and that truly is so upsetting. Thanks a lot Ana Star! 💖
I’m still confused about the zebras. Strange. Anyway, good luck with planting, if you choose to plant, and the the garage, or rather, estate sale! 😅 Wonderful post, Cindy! ❤️
not the camels 🤷♀️ ha!
trust me, i live here and I’m confused totally 🤷♀️ and thanks for the wishes very much appreciated Jeff! 🥰
Hahaha! You’re most welcome, Cindy! Always. ❤️🥰
❤️💕😻
💖
Okay, thats definitely unusual, but …quirky!
for sure!! 🤷♀️🥰
Keep Smiling. Happy Zebra and Camels Day. Now a total disconnect – response to emojiku/ backlog. Trying to catch up!
💖 Hearts a flutter beat
😎 Loved golden sunshine dazzles
🌈 Rainbows paint sweet dreams
💖Lonely hearts reach out
😎 Love’s magic spells blindly cast
🌈 Romance radiant fades
Will post today. Keep an eye out for it!
oh love this and you and i started it. thanks to your execution… will look. heading to bed …morning comes soon. big garage sale tomorrow. fun times ahead. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy Dreams, My Friend.🛌💤
Wow! A Zebra! I can’t imagine saying good morning to those animals everyday! It’s weird yet fun, I don’t know, maybe because they’re cute. 🤩
It’s just a pity they’re not free 😔
Oh they are so adorable..but sad to see people want to domesticate them when they belong out in the open…good luck with the garage sale…hope you make some lots of 💵💵😊😊
I wish humans would just let animals be free. I don’t go to zoos anymore because I can’t stand seeing so many animals used for profit. Good luck with the remodeling. It is so much work, but the end result is worth the chaos. Happy Saturday. I hope you visit my blog one of these days. 😊
While seeing the Zebra picture, a fun question popped up in my mind — Can we use a real Zebra on the Zebra crossing?
Oh, it’ll go against the 😥animal rights. Instead, it can be used in a story.😁
Cindy, WTH?? I certainly don’t mean to be unkind, but I’m thinking your new neighbors might live in a different world than ours? I mean, the animals are adorable, but ??? Please keep your distance in case they decide you might be a problem! And happy weekend! 🌞
Thanks for getting my dilemma Lisa and this crazy situation. So much appreciated. That’s good advice! I do wonder as well… and now we’re on to real problems in our world. So sad. thanks fort the support and always being in my court. xo 💖
Of course! 🌞
💖💖🙏
I was voted “most likely to go yard-saling” and you can be sure if I encountered your display, I would certainly stop in for a browse! I do so enjoy hearing about the stories attached to random items and finding treasures I will not soon abandon. 🙂
Well you would fit right in here then and like Dwight said have a peak at the zoo animals free of charge.. hahah 🤣. I sooo love that too Jaya. Thanks a lot! 💖
Wow! A zoo next door for sure! You will have to put up a sign and charge people to come and look through the fence and see a baby Zebra and Camels. LOL!! The Zebra is very cute, as are the camels, but my question is what happens when they grow to become full size adults!
Hope you had a great “Estate Sale!”
Confirmed and and you know… that’s exactly what I’m doing.. less the charge. I even put an arbor down there and go and have my morning coffee.. hahahaha. Soooo cute but not very happy at all. I’m asking the same question. It was sooo slow but was a huge push to get everything out/ I made enough to pay the guys to bring the furniture up, but not much more.. hahaha. Ty ty.. thanks Dwight. 💖🙏
Glas all went well for you!
Redwoods were cut? How old were they? Not far from our home a tree was cut because the dry leaves were thought to be litter! I kept wondering how could they. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
they were 40 years old.. they really don’t belong where they are to begin with. need more fog etc and were stressed from construction etc but lots could have been done. oh i’m sorry to hear about that tree too. you’re welcome and thanks for your lovely concern💖🙏🙏
Happy birthday 🎂🎉🎁 Cindy 💐🙂🙏
How Sweet Are YOU!!! Thank you sooo much! 💖💖💖 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I don’t really have one though today hahaha so I remain 16 1/2 🤣
😝😝 but my fb shows you have one today perhaps other Cindy having one 😂😂😂
no i dooooo it’s just the 29th and it doesn’t come .. hahahahahhah🤣🤣u r right!!!!
Thanks soooo much! 💖
😂😂 that’s super cool, so you are still a teenager 16 teen 😝 so no late night party get back to home before 10 pm 🤓🤓 and no alcohol 😝
Check out my cool blog!
I don’t understand the desire to capture and cage wild animals either, unless they’re in a situation where rescue is the only option and they live out their lives in loving care. A remodel? That’s exciting and there’s nothing quite as freeing as getting rid of stuff! Here’s to a productive weekend and a wonderful week ahead, Cindy.
I don’t get it either Diana! Maybe there’s a reason I don’t know about. Omg yes, we started and it’s sooo exciting. I might have to post it! It’s awesome to get rid of stuff for sure!!!
Thanks so much for the wishes! 💕❤️🙏
Cindy, I hope your sale went well and people in a mood to shop! It’s always exciting to have a new project on the go in the house!
Blimey! I can’t believe someone is running a zoo with exotic animals next to you. You must have been shocked – here there would be so much red tape and forms to fill in it would be nigh impossible. As a huge fan of Joy Adamson’s books I have trouble enough visiting normal zoos with all their space and expertise and care.
Wishing you a lovely weekend! xx
Hi Annika! Thanks for the wishes! It was kind of a bomb actually but we moved stuff out and now need to find homes for it all! Cathartic and necessary though!
Sooo exciting!
Thank you!
I know right?!?!? I just can’t wrap my head around it all!! I’m with you all the way . I won’t charge for admission if you want to have a visit. Lol have a great weekend as well!💕
Are these animals kept in your next-door property?!!! Weired!
in my neighbors property … yes and I so agree … weird! 💖
