Maybe mine. Maybe yours.

Day 108...Fly Little Bird, Please
Day 108
This morning, just after waking up, I looked out the bedroom window
and saw that Mark was outside preparing to till.
As I was making the bed I heard a thud against the bedroom window and thought Mark was being silly, thinking I was still asleep and threw something up at the window...
(I should've known better though, he wouldn't risk breaking a window)
I opened the window and he looked up at me and said "did you hear that?"
Which I had, of course.
Which I had, of course.
I looked down to the ground and saw the poor little bird that had just flown into our window lying on the ground below with it's little wings fluttering...:(
Does anyone know for sure what this little one is?
I know it's not a Sparrow.
I think it may be a Thrush of some kind, but not positive.
Poor little thing's heart was racing so fast.
We were afraid for a few minutes that it wasn't going to make it.
Mark was about to touch it as it was sitting on the table and it climbed right onto his finger!
Shortly after I took this last shot, he sat it back onto the table,
it stayed there for a few more minutes and when he went to touch it again, it flew away!!!!
We were both so happy to see the poor little thing fly!
Day 107... Mi Cinco de Mayo
Day 107
Well, no Margarita's were consumed by me on this Cinco de Mayo...
and the only Mexican food that crossed my lips was
a Dorito shell taco supreme at Taco Bell...:(

but it's OK, my companion was one of THE BEST I could've asked for...
After work, I visited my Mom, :) ...
found the baby ducks living in the courtyard there at Evergreen,
found the baby ducks living in the courtyard there at Evergreen,
took a shot of the progress on the gazebo construction there,
headed home to a steak dinner with Abby and Mark,
then spent the evening fighting June bugs and listening to coyotes howl all the while watching a beautiful Super Moon rise into the sky!
A busy but really great day!!
Danger, danger, kids...someone's found us again!
Come on, hurry before she gets us!
Heading away... from me!
Their source of water, this pitiful little pond in the courtyard...
I'm surprised their mommas even choose this location!
This is the second year that I have seen them nest here in the courtyard. Amazing!
Gazebo's coming right along!

Day 106...Prim, Proper & Pink
Day 106
Native Pink Primrose
Another gift from my friend Denise's garden... :) I have sooo many buds about to open,
I can't wait to see them all in bloom... They're so delicate, I love them!!
Day 105...Meadow Loves Abby!
Day 105
A very busy day today!
Too much housework and lots of catching up on EVERYTHING after being gone for a long weekend and then spending over 24 hours with Abby at the hospital!
This is the only photo I took all day! But I like it!
My "Shabby" girl (as Mark has always called her) was resting, but on her phone as normal!!!
And Meadow by her side, where she always is when Abby is around!
Day 104...My Pretty Birds Arrive!
Day 104
The Orioles are Back!
Everybody that knows me, knows I love "my birds!"
The Hummingbirds arrived at my feeder yesterday! Today, Abby and I hadn't been home from the hospital for more than 10 minutes when I saw the first blur of orange fly by my kitchen window!
Now, I'm hoping the Indigo Buntings and Rose Breasted Grosbeaks come back too!
I had lots of them at my feeders two years ago but didn't see them at all last year...:(
I saw Momma first...
they LOVE grape jelly...(I've found out so do LOTS of other birdies)
then Daddy (he decided to go for the oranges first)
and together on a dinner date!
