Friday, April 18. 2008Trip to Nebraska
WE FINALLY managed to go to Nebraska on Monday
I can sum this long story up in one four letter word.....WIND! OH MY GOSH....even for a Kansas girl who is used to WIND....this was more than I could stand. We lost 2 nites of sleep but we did get to see the Sandhill cranes...and I got some pretty good pictures.  Click on the picture to see all of my pictures Thursday, April 17. 2008Momma Ethel
Well we were gone for 3 days and when we returned we found momma robins nest abandoned and tore up from the winds. We were afraid she'd gone somewhere else
BUT TODAY we noticed she is back and building another nest only a little higher in the tree and the tree is in full bloom As you might have noticed we have named our robins....Fred & Ethel Fred (daddy) is very attentive and helpful...he hangs around under the tree and eats bugs and worms while Ethel works on the nest.  Friday, April 11. 2008MOMMA ROBIN still building I was afraid that momma wouldn't come back after the rain and wind and storms yesterday but she's back this morning rebuilding her nest. Wednesday, April 9. 2008IT MUST BE SPRING?
WELL MOMMA ROBIN has started building her nest today....even tho its cloudy rainy and cold. Maybe she knows something I don't know.
We've noticed for a couple of weeks that 2 robins seemed to hang around our back yard more than before. We have our camper sitting close to the tree and they were checking it out too. I think it has to be the same momma robin that we've had for 2 or 3 years....it would be too much of a coincidence that another robin would find this same little flowering crabapple tree to build a nest in.   POSTSCRIPT: The wind kinda took its toll on the work Momma had done this morning, but she was right back to building her nest this evening even in the rain.  Click on Pictures to see larger view
Wednesday, April 2. 2008Crafty GreatGrand Kids
I met Tara for lunch today. As soon as she got in the car she said "Oh, here before I forget." She pulled out an envelope addressed to "Great Grandma"
It was a picture Ethan had drawn and put stickers on. He ask her for an envelope and stamp so he could mail it to me but then she told him she was having lunch with me today so she would just give to me. The other picture is from Blake. He painted it at school and gave to me for Christmas. Guess they know their Great Grandma! ! Ethan is 7 and Blake is 6.   About a week ago Tara bought Ally who will be 3 in May some new flipflops that were purple with dark purple butterflies on them. When she tried them on she looked down at them and said "OH! Great Mama would say "OH MY GOODNESS!"....and I probably would have! |
