Warm Afternoon just hanging out!

I think they are loving the warm afternoon!!!

Birds

They continue to grow! Note the wing feathers!

How long will these four babies fit in this nest?!

I have been so impressed with the success of a worm diet!!!

Posted New Items

I listed a couple of original watercolors of flowers in my Etsy shop today.

I was so happy the last cards I have listed have really had interest in them. I made 10 sets and have sold 6 of them in 3 days.  I find that very exciting!!

Bird update!

They are literally growing before our eyes!  I wish I had a portable webcam because I have seen some magnificiant pictures of the Momma & Daddy feeding these little ones.  I wish you could see it too.

Amazing!

Simple pleasures

I was able to spend a fun day with K&A&C today.

As always they were wonderful little ones.  I am so impressed with how well mannered my grandchildren are.  They are so polite, with thanks and excuse me.  They are also admirably patient with each other.  It just warms my heart to spend time around such precious little ones.

We had a great time with simple pleasures today.

Hopscotch... I remember my love of hop scotch.  Remember the rubber hoppy taws.
Well the grandkids don't know about hoppy taws, but I am sure I can find one, to introduce them.  I will look.

And then there are sunglasses...

What a ham!! He knows how cute he is!!

Now there is the delight of your first bike.  Or I should say the delight of getting to have your sisters plasma car all to yourself!!

Time with your own banana is heaven..

The things that make for a grand day!!!

Simple Simple Simple.

Look what K&A found!! Their own birds nest.  Or should I say their neighbors nest that they spotted.

Now you can see why I have so much fun when I get to spend time with these darling ones.

And our own making of a birds nest!

And every boy is totally entertained with his own stick!

I am not sure one should be allowed to have so much fun in one day!

Kate was off with a friend swimming when we had the camera out.  So sorry no pictures of you Kate.  Next time!!!

Not Too Much Different

Just an update on the little birds.
I can see the big eyes on the one little bird.
Still pretty frail looking.  They aren't so much on top of each other today. They are more lined up next to each other.

Complete Change

My flower beds are filled with so many more blooms than a just couple of days ago.

The perfect conditions and voila blooms everywhere. 

On Memorial Day I didn't have any Iris is bloom, usually they are for me. But today I have many flags of Iris in my yard.  We take the regular Iris to the gaves for Memorial Day.(we didn't this year)  I did have a couple of the Siberian Iris in bloom before Memorial Day.

Look what I scared out when I went to take photos of the Iris. There was a pair of quail. I scared them so they even took flight. Usually they just try to quickly waddle away.  They are skiddish I didn't try to scare them, but too quick of a motion or even just motion will send them running.

This is my first quail I have seen this spring.
