Good Morning Everyone!
I woke to the sounds of song birds and gently blowing wind through the pine trees. I love both of the sounds, music to my ears!
My husband had to go to an overnight conference yesterday. I called him from our porch to tell him how beautiful it was and that I was taking in all the nature sounds and views. He said he was sitting in an auditorium with three hundred people. Poor lad!
The dogs and I sat on the porch for two hours. I was able to hear a Cerulean Warbler which I identified though a web site, http://www.birding.com/. It sort of sounds like an upward whistle.
The dogs are restless on the porch, moving from place to place. The sun cooks them a little then they have to move to the shade for awhile. They love to be outside with us. They are such patient little guys to wait all day in the house for us during the week. (Garth just did an "over easy" maneuver.)
There are so many warblers and I am so ignorant as to all their songs. Every year I have to start all over again. As I was sitting on the porch I saw red wing blackbirds, a kingfisher, goldfinch, starlings, chipping sparrows, mallard ducks and one unidentified bird.
Today I am meeting my son, niece and husband for an Applebees birthday celebration (mine). It was this week. Nice birthday treats and surprises at work from staff and kids. My husband gave me cash for an upcoming stamping tradeshow I am going to. Yeah!
