Feeling a Little Down?

I know we have had an unusually warm winter in this part of the country but don’t forget it is still flu season. I’m doing fairly ok. Not really sick, just maybe a little run down (or on overload).

Looking at our snowman today, made me wonder, how many other people might not be feeling up to par.

In an effort to stay ahead of the game, I thought I would publish my own PSA. Don’t be fooled by the extra sunshine, remember to maintain your health. Always get the rest your body needs. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat something healthy everyday.

Seriously, I hope you all are doing well. Take care of yourself. Spring is almost here, I can feel it!!!

(Hmm, Maybe that’s what the snowman is doing…He’s looking for spring??)

I am surprised that he is still standing. Really, how far can he tilt????

New Arrival

There has been a whirlwind here the past few days. The humans successfully pulled off a beautiful first holy communion and the critters have welcomed and baby bird into the world.

Friday evening we peeked in to get a glimpse of the little guy (or gal) working hard at entering the world.




By Saturday afternoon we saw a hungry little thing waiting for Mama to come in with something yummy (to birds anyway).

We think this Robin might be a new Mom. She laid three eggs this time around but it seems this guy is the only one to hatch. She may be a little more skittish or not know enough yet to keep them warmer. We usually have a robin nest somewhere in our yard each year and she will usually produce 2 to 3 rounds of babies and usually 3 babies each time. This Robin may be dealing with her first nest. We hope this birdie gets some feathers soon.

The next creature on the critter watch is still safely tucked away.

According to Hubby this is a praying mantis nest. They should start hatching towards the end of the month. I hope I can catch it on film.

New Neighbors...soon

Spring is in full force.

Last night’s weather produced some really fierce winds. At times it sounded as if the roof might just peel back off the top of the house. I went out side today to check on the Mama Robin who has taken up residence in one of our pine trees. I thought for sure her nest would be gone.


Still here.

Although, I thought Hubby said there were three eggs??? Bad angle perhaps? I did kind of snap and run. I took the photo quickly so I could get away from her spot. I could hear her chirping away at me from a nearby tree. She was not too happy that I was poking around her space. Maybe next time I’ll focus better. Can’t wait to see the new babies.

Postcard from "to do" land

Just a quick “hello” to everyone. I’ve been working like mad to get everything crossed off my list. I pulled out all the Easter decorations and made a few new ones. The forsythia has been set out. A bunny or two has been tucked here and there. I decoupage a few eggs and created a few fabric carrots. (I’ll tell you later how those carrots came to be). It really looks like spring has sprung all throughout my house.

I’ve also been prepping for the upcoming first communion. After checking the list, I see… the veil, earrings and rosary bracelet have been completed but you’ll have to wait for the next postcard to see/hear about those. I hope all is well, I’ll check back in with you soon. Happy Spring!
