Sniffing the herbs....

Cheeto's new favorite past time seems to be sniffing the herbs.....first the catnip (of course) and then the basil....and then the mint and then back to the catnip!  It's so funny to watch him sitting between the pots and just moving his nose back and forth!  The herbs are all getting leggy, it's almost time to cut everything back and either replant for fall or harvest the seeds. 

The babies have hatched!  They are still ugly at 1 week and barely have any feathers!  They have been sleeping a lot, we try not to disturb them.  I couldn't resist taking a picture though.....hopefully soon they will get some feathers!

Mama bird has been busy!

Well Mama bird has been busy!  The other day we checked the nest and there were 4 eggs!  She hides in the tree by the door and sits on the eggs when no one is around.  As soon as we walk up the sidewalk she flies out of the nest to the tree.  Soon, I think we are going to have to start using the back door, because once those eggs hatch, mama could get a little aggressive trying to protect her babies!

Birds nest and baby bird egg

We found a nest in the wreath on our door, and just yesterday we discovered this baby bird egg in the nest!  We hope mama comes back to hatch it and that all the in and out of our front door doesn't disturb the egg!

Sweet Easter Figurine

A cute little Easter figurine to charm you!

We've been very poor bloggers since Christmas, most of our family has been sick with one illness or another since Christmas and we've been very busy!  A little spring fever perhaps.....here are a couple of pictures from our trip to New York last fall but they remind me of spring and summer so I'm going to share....
