Only One Left


I didn't get a chance to check on the Robin nest until this evening. Three of the four eggs have hatched. The nest is filling up with the next generation of our yard robins. They're not very active yet but I'm posting a video anyway.

The Egg Hatches


Just a quick update on our Robin's nest in the garage rafters. The photo that I took on June 1st shows only two eggs and I hadn't been up to check on the nest since then.....(I'm not a lover of heights) Today, with Jim keeping a firm grip on the ladder base, I ascended to find three eggs unhatched and a tiny baby, that judging from its inactivity, must have just been born today. Jim took a peek also and I was about to hand him my iPhone to snap a photo when one of the parents arrived with supper. Not wanting the baby to wait long for a meal, we decided to hold off on the photo until tomorrow. Most likely there will be at least one more egg hatched then as well.

3

Nolan, Atira and I took a trip down to Buxton around 3 this afternoon.
Stop #1 was Nicky and Jeremy Redlon's, where I got my hair trimmed and colored, Nolan hung out with his friend Connor and Atira enjoyed cuddling their 6 week old kitten.
Stop #2 was Heather and Todd Pendleton's where we enjoyed a gourmet dinner of popcorn chicken, fries and strawberries. Atira and Nolan enjoyed spending time with their friends Emma and Caleb, Heather and I chatted and Todd arrived home just in time for me to give him a hug as I left for.....
Stop #3 was to visit with Papa and BauBau. She is home from the hospital, recuperating from her mild heart attack. She is doing very well, and was in good humor as usual. When I arrived at the house, she was visiting with my Aunt Suci, Mom and Dad and my uncle Frank who had made a quick trip up from D.C. It was nice to see him , even if only for a short time.

Not In the Mood

I just noticed the date of my last post and couldn't believe how long it's been since I last wrote on here. I just have not been in the writing mood, which is a shame because life has given me some great material. I shall have to make a better effort........tomorrow.
