Howdy Folks,
HAPPY MONDAY
everybody! The Spring symphony of bird song floated on crisp air this morning
as I sat with Kessy, Saturday and Miss Kitty enjoying our Coffee Clutch.
Kessy's eyes sparkled as she gazed out into the bright morning sun, hay
dangling from her mouth. We had enjoyed a lovely, and lively, ride yesterday
and I wondered if she was remembering it. I was. Our good friend Chris and her
mule Molly had gone with us, and the two girls seemed pretty full of
themselves. Ah Spring.
This morning's
operatic performance was surely the best so far this Spring. Phoebes called and
flitted about, dashing to the dirt to retrieve nest building material for there
new nest in Kessy's barn. Mr. Cardinal sat high in a tree and sang loud. Mr.
Bluebird too, sang and sang. Mourning Doves joined in, their cooing wafting
lightly as backup singers. Several Chipping Sparrows chattered as they
scratched the chicken feed, and Mr. Chickadee added his high notes just in time
for the chorus. A lone Robin trilled.
The Bluebirds
have a complete nest in the front yard and we are keeping watch for the first
egg. Ravishin' Robbie is cooking our first batch of Hummingbird nectar of the
Spring. We'll be hanging the first feeder today ... They will be here any day now. We've missed our glistening flying
jewels. To check when they will be in your area go to http://www.hummingbirds.net/ . And
you can report your first sighting there too, just for fun.
On our rides
Kessy and I have already seen plenty of Bluetts, Spring Beauties, Myrtle and
even Bloodroot flowers … Can our road trip to Blue Ridge Parkway to look for
wildflowers be far away? I'm ready!
Ravishin' Robbie,
Kessy, the critters and I send you wishes for a Happy Monday and God Bless!
