Bluebird of Happiness

What a delight it was to see this sweet little bluebird sitting in my cherry tree this afternoon! 

 

After such a long, cold winter, it is so nice to see all of the birds returning.  There are many now, and to hear their birdsong when stepping outside is wonderful.  We saw our first robin just this past week.  Spring really is on its way.  Do you want another delight?  Follow this link and watch a sweet hummingbird and her nest of three eggs.

The live camera keeps an eye on this little family and their nest attached to a rose bush is in Orange County, California.  We have this cam link up on our computer during the day and keep our eye on this little lady and her eggs.  I can't wait until my hummers return--but not for another month or so. 

A Heart-Shaped Egg?

Yes, I confess, I'm one of those nutty people who sees lions in clouds and puppies in popcorn...and now I see a heart in my egg!

This one had cracked while cooking and once peeled and cut looked just like a heart to me. It certainly made for a most interesting and, yes, pleasant breakfast!

Snap! Finally got a Picture!

Mommy Robin had left her little eggs and was away getting worms when I approached our tree with the camera. Snap! I finally got a picture of her darling little eggs. I just love the color, don't you? Now we are all anticipating the appearance of the four babies. This is the coziest spot, I think. What a perfect place for a nest...and what a perfect nest!
