update

Hansel left sometime around 11 this morning,

Gretel left some time around 4 this afternoon.

A real empty nest...almost

Hansel and Gretel are getting ready to leave the nest, Hansel there on the left was practicing flapping his wings all day today...well with hummers it doesn't look like flapping ,even this young and new at the game their wings are a blur. They froze in place every time I went out to take a picture.

Out of sight out of mind...

until the onion sprouts and pushes the lid off the container...

I have been  using already chopped onion when I cook...no tears, faster etc.,forgot all about this fellow. Humm, I wonder what would happen if I planted this......stay tuned!

Humming bird twins.

 They are so tiny, but it still looks crowded in there!

Wabbits

Can you find the baby bunny?

I , sadly, have no baby bunnies here at home.

I can't decide whether or not to keep on with this hobby,

showing rabbits.

I have other things I am interested in doing...but baby bunnies are so cute.

Change isn't easy...I should know that by now, why do I have to keep relearning that!

wind chime

Sometimes memories come out of now where, just like the breeze, you can't see it coming and then it is there. I was going about my day when the sound of the wind chimes caught my ear. Just like that, I could see Kathy three years ago, untangling and hanging them up for me.

I remember sitting on the deck at my granny's house, listening to the wind chimes fashioned out of all her old keys.

I remember calling home and talking to my mom, I knew it had to be a nice day there, the kitchen door was open and I could hear the wind chime out on the front porch.

 Then , the breeze stops, the chimes quiet , and I turn on the vacuum cleaner.

Did my little duck friends survive the big party?

It was a big celebration in the park this week end. I wrote about this last year, I love reading the paper puddles after this event. What are paper puddles you ask, the fliers that are left behind.

Car detailing, realtor's, home furnishings, up coming concerts, it is really fun.

They had arts and crafts booths, food booths and music, 3,000 cars by 11:00 a.m the paper said, wow. Every year I think about attending, maybe next year, I would love to see it.

so I was worried about the baby ducks, that is a heck of a lot of people and you and I know these little guys are um...bold shall we say...from my encounter last week.

never fear...here they are with mom and pop near by, dozing in the early morning sun.  By the time I made it back around to the pond, they were in the water.

the sun shining through their little fuzzy feathers, makes it looks like they are glowing.

I spied a baby rabbit this a.m too, so all is well at the park.
