Spring is Here (FINALLY!!!)

I honestly thought that we would never see the sun thing come back and warm us up again! It's been rather chilly outside the house this year. But Spring is here whether the weather wants it to be or not! All the aminals are coming back out of their hiding places and coming to our yard in search of food! Our first hint that it was Spring was the yard full of Robins! The weather bowed to them and welcomed them back to the area by letting the sun thing come out and warm it up a bit!


Here's a mourning dove, no, nothin's wrong with it! Promise! It was sunbathing :) Every day we find them hanging out under the feeders in the sun. They like it when the little birds knock the good seed down on the ground and then they can peck around at it.


Grammie noticed this little beauty. It's the white breasted nuthatch! You should see them sometime! They're quite silly a'cause they can climb up and down the trees like a woodpecker and they knock on the wood to hear little buggies that are hiding in there and stuff...


Here's the most funnest one of all to talk about! Momma gotted the thistle feeder just so that this little guy would come, and he did! And he does! Every day, four little goldfinches have their meals here. Their song is so light and pretty, it reminds me of my good old friend, Tangie. He would have loved to hear them sing...


This am "The Dog Family". That's what Momma and Grammie call them. Every day, these two beans walk their doggies in front of our house. Whoever sees them walking by always says, "Oh! there goes the dog family!" Momma loves Beagles and as you can see, they have two! So she's always wanted to sneak a picture of them and finally got the shot! They don't live too far up the road from us. Sometimes, I can hear them barking outside...they have a funny bark (tee-hee!)
