Our baby birds are growing. These are the babies and the first two pictures are the earliest shots and now the bottom two are the babies today, getting the fuzzies! Hehehe! Wonderful!!!! Aren't they UGLY CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! I so hope they make it through the whole process!

Happy Saturday!

More exciting bird news! I LOVE seeing the birds and I had a NEW visitor to my feeder! So immediately I looked it up in my BIRDS OF WISCONSIN book and there he was! A Rose Breasted Grosbeak. I included a page from the book for you to see. But I LOVE my pictures, as it was raining and he is little (another baby I believe) and his feathers are wet and goofy! What a beautiful little guy! WOW! Bird heaven at my house this Spring!!!!!! :0)

You are seeing the pictures a bit backwards. The eggs increasing and then hatching....but you get the idea! CLICK on the picture to see it bigger!

Both babies hatched out today.

Second egg working on hatching. See the hole and crack?

So, they have started hatching! The babies!!! Robin Momma laid 4 eggs, and then pushed one egg out of the nest. (Maybe she knew something about that egg.) So, then there were again three. And this morning the first baby was there, hatched last night and we could see the second egg was already breaking through. Click on the pictures to see them closer up. When I got home from work, there were 2 babies hatched! The one baby is wearing the shell like a hard hat! Hehehehe! Anyways, by tomorrow the third should hatch! The eggs were laid a day apart and I read that they incubate for 12-14 days and that came out perfectly right! :)

Isn't it something? She made the nest in our back fence. I pray the babies make it without being bothered by a cat!!!!!! Or other creature! It is such a miracle to be able to see it, I have to take the camera above my head to snap the pictures, so they are coming out well for not seeing as I snap the pictures.

I took this picture of a squirrel that keeps coming to eat under our bird feeder! He is not afriad and our Rufio barks his head off at him. He looks RIGHT AT YOU, like to say.......
YOU LOOKIN' AT ME??????
Haaaaahehehe, he is sort of cute right? Look at how his little feet are tucked into his chest. Hilarious!!!! I really feel like he is looking right at me as I took his picture. Wildlife is interesting to say the least! :0)

How much wood , would a woodchuck chuck....................LOOK what we saw this morning!
I could not believe it when this woodchuck was IN OUR YARD! This is a first for seeing a woodchuck here. Amber got these shots before it ran off. It is on the far left side of this picture with the bushes in the front. He was inside our chain link fence and sat up like a prarie dog. Hilarious! Then he checked out the neighbors yard on the other side of the fence !I wonder if we will see much of him around here? Rufio was not happy with his presence.....so I am always looking before I let Rufio outside! This woodchuch was as big as Rufio easily. THAT would be a problem!

One of the joys of Spring are the birds! I just love them, they come to my feeder and let me see their happy faces.

Well, a Robin has built a nest in our new fence! Ohhhhhhh boy, I hope that no cat gets up there to cause her or the babies any grief! Each day she has laid an additional egg! Now there are FOUR and I wonder if she is done. She is sitting in the nest on the one picture! I am wishing her luck, if this does not work out, I will not let a nest be built on the fence next year, because seeing those little babies destroyed will upset me. I hope they will be safe.

Here we are! Celebrating the Royal Wedding in our fun HANDMADE hats at work.

The funny thing is, all the men who came into work, were confused as to why we had on these funky hats and the WOMEN who came in, laughed and knew right away........and said Happy Wedding Day! :0)

This is my hat. Lots of flowers, leaves, netting, springs, and even pipe cleaners! High class all the way!

I also made a button for everyone to wear with the Royal Couple's picture on it! Very fun! Working in them was another story! Hehehehehe!!!!!

Our little family project of coloring eggs worked out just fine.

All three of us dyed eggs and our fingertips....and the table a little! Heheheh!
Happy Colored Easter Eggs!

These are pre-stickers!

I baked some Easter cookies. :0 Some I baked on sticks, others not.
I shared them with my folks and then my work.....the basket had one for each of my co-workers. Fun! Also, one little plate for us here.......mmmmmmmmm.....there is always room for a cookie, right?

Who likes cupcakes?? It is Julie's birthday at work tomorrow.......so these are some sweet treats for her! :0) There are vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate pudding filling and chocolate and buttercream frosting.........and some fun sprinkle decorations! Mmmmmmmm, time for a cupcake, Cupcake! Hehehe!
