We are trying hard to believe that it will be summer eventually. It has been lovely and sunny but still just a little chilly for me. The kids have been spending days outside getting dirty and playing nonstop with the neighbor kids (3 yrs & 2 yrs).
Here they are helping me water the flowers tonight. Aren't the daffodils and hyacinths from the bulbs I planted beautiful?
In a vacant lot out near our house we found a nest with four eggs in it and a busy mama bird. Tonight when we walked out to check on it the mama bird went CRAZY and it turns out that three of the eggs had turned into baby birds. A lady who lives close by was curious why we kept coming back every day to look at the lot next to her house, and she came out and exclaimed over the babies with us and told us that the bird is a killdeer. Indeed, mama was doing her best wounded bird imitation to get us to go away. I don't know if you can see the babies in the photo below, but there are three of them and one egg left. I was much more impressed with them than Rose Pink and Nut Brown were. Kids these days.
Sorry for the lack of posting. The closer we get to moving, the more anxious we get! Send love and good wishes to our kids- they're feeling the brunt of it.
