So many new babies!

This one is actually a mini-bunny that has lived by our shed for several years and is so adorable.  Very shy though and quick as lightening to get away when I get the camera out.

5 new baby Mute swans

Dunking lessons-ha!  The parents are teaching the young to dip for green plants that grow beneath the water surface.

Canadian Goose baby.  So adorable!

Another Canadian Goose Baby

Thanks for coming to see my wild creatures.  I love your visits and comments.  The renewal of wildlife each year gives the world Hope that life will go on no matter what happens.  I am so blessed to be able to see all the wild creatures right from my den windows!  I put up a new Hummingbird feeder last night and one has already been here this morning to drink.  I will have to be prepared to take a picture spontaneously as they never light long enough for me to snap a picture if I don't have the camera handy.

Newly hatched Canadian Geese

It has been raining all day long but the highlight of my day was when the Canadian Goose family brought by their first hatchlings!

 It is always such a thrill to see them!  First the father who is lame several years now, came to the window alone begging for food.  I gave him some bread and asked where his family was, did he have new babies?

Sure enough, the mama came swimming by in the little lake in the pouring rain with her 3 babies just as proud as could be.  I was so thrilled to see them! 

 It was as though the father wanted me to see them coming to the window like that.

Isn't God and nature just awesome??




Thanks for coming to visit and come again soon.  Love your visits!

Carolina Wren...

What a lovely way to end the day!

Our son sent us this birdhouse many years ago.  It was so cute that I kept it in the house for a long time.  Then a few years ago, we hung it by the front door and usually the Chickadees chose it to nest in.

But this year a Carolina Wren nested there and I have been trying to catch a picture of her.

At first all she did was scold me and stay in the bush near the porch but I was patient this eve and sat in a chair in the driveway and waited.  She never stopped scolding me but I was able to get these 2 pictures of her with a bug in her mouth to feed the young in the house.  Sure wish it had a glass wall so I could see, ha!  That would be great.  Hubby was always going to make one like that....

Bunny Monday...

I love when bunnies come to visit and especially when they eat the weeds in my yard-ha!  This morning a very large bunny came in and stayed in one spot long enough for me to snap a few pictures from my den window.  He kept an eye on me it seemed the whole time...

You're nobody 'til somebunny loves you!


Have a wonderful spring day!

Mallards and Geese couples

Hello sweet blog family!  I am doing much better now than 2 months ago after losing my sweet Bill but it is so hard to be alone and I am missing him so much.  But I finally went out to lunch with a girlfriend yesterday and visited another widow in my neighborhood.  And today I am watching my "granddogs" for my daughter until Monday.  They are sweet little dogs though and give me no trouble so I will have good company for the rest of the weekend. :)    The Mallard couple and the Canadian Goose couple have come to nest nearby like they do every year on the little lake.

This female goose was right underneath the den window when I snapped this picture through the glass.

And here is the Goose and the Mallard sharing a few pieces of bread.

The Mallard couple is so beautiful.

And here are 2 Mallard males that visited early this morning.  They may be young bachelors born last spring who are looking for mates.  The green on their heads is so brilliant!

Here is the female Mallard eating the fallen birdseed under the window.  The Begonia plant is showing left on my window sill.
Thank you so much for visiting and come again soon.  And if you have time visit my other blogs listed in my sidebar.  Have a most wonderful Palm Sunday!

Spring at my house and Birthday...

HELLO, MY SWEET FRIENDS!  I returned this week after a week back in our hometown for a memorial service there for my hubby.  There is nothing like old friends and the love of relatives to comfort your loss.  The service was beautiful with our granddaughters, daughter-in-law, and myself reading tributes as well as friends and church members sharing their memories.  Our special song, "Devoted to You" by the Everly Brothers was also played at the service just as it was at the service here.  The ladies of the church provided a wonderful luncheon for us following the service and I cannot thank them and the pastor enough for making everything so special for all of us.  

As you can imagine, I was happy to return home and I had a nice surprise awaiting me with the yard filled with wonderful Azalea blooms!!  And the Great Blue Heron visiting to fish.  

Isn't he wonderful? 

 He takes time to preen his feathers while standing in the sun.

Pictures never show the enormity of size.  The Great Blue Heron's are so stately and tall!

And today is my 70th Birthday!  We celebrated last night with daughters, mates and grandchildren with Pizza and cake with candles that would not blow out!!  

It was fun and I don't feel a day over 69and 11/12ths-LOL!  I am now officially in the Antique category.

My best surprise was the Pendant with my hubby's print on it came in time for my birthday!  I love it and can hold it anytime I want and be touching his thumbprint. :)  God is sooooo good!

Thank you for visiting and come again soon.  If you have time, slip over to TWO HAPPY blog to see more of the Azaleas for Pink Saturday and to see the pendant.

Yes, the rain finally stopped!

But now the pollen is in full force and though it is beautiful and 70 degrees, I cannot open a window as the pollen blows right in covering everything!

Even though the Bradford Pear Tree is beautiful, it has me hoarse and stuffy from all the pollen.  And the red buds on the maple trees are also adding to the mix but they are so beautiful!

And there are beautiful Robins everywhere winging their way North.  We have some that stay year round but to see them in such numbers they are definitely migrating and such a treat to see!

Also, they were joined by some Cedar Waxwings to my further delight!

Two Robins in flight and the Cedar Waxwings to the left .  Ahhh, life is good!


Thank you for sharing my backyard wildlife, every day is an adventure!
