No more rain, but baby birds

No more rain or clouds as of

yesterday June 7th, 10:15 am!

I woke up to a cloudy day

(which was to be expected)

but by 10:15 it was mostly

 sunny! YIPPEE!   Now of course

I don't want it to get too

hot too quick like the rest

of the country.   Low to

mid-80's expected over

the next few days.

I am sure I will be

complaining in a couple

of weeks that it is too hot.

I finally got a couple of pics

of the little bird babies

yesterday!

There are at least 2.

 But now one has "fallen/flew"

down to the porch railing

and is sitting in the pansies!

The parents are attending to it,

 but I haven't seen them going

up to the nest to feed the other

 one....sigh.

RAIN, RAIN AND MORE RAIN

Well we are still having lots of rain

which is suppose to end by Tuesday.

Really?    But I would rather have

 it rain than be 95 or 100 degrees

 like most of the country. 

Hope everyone is comfortable

no matter where you live.  :o)

 Here are some quotes

I found in our local free paper,

to either help you appreciate

the rain or feel nice and cool.

Some people walk in the rain,

others just get wet.

--- Roger Miller

Many a man curses the rain that

falls upon his head, and knows

not that it brings abundance to

drive away the hunger.

--- Saint Basil

Bad weather always looks

worse through a window.

--- Author Unknown

The trouble with weather forecasting

is that it's right too often for us to

ignore and wrong too often for us

to rely on it.

--- Patrick Young

And this last quote I love:

Let the rain kiss you.

Let the rain beat upon
 your head with silver
 liquid drops.

Let the rain sing you
a lullaby.

--- Langston Hughes

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Yesterday, Mike, Cheryl and I finally
 saw  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.  It was so much fun
 with spectacular effects and incredible
 scenes.  Of course, Johnny is still
easy on the eyes
 and darling in his character.  :o)

Can't wait until Part 5!  

Also, wait until after the long credits

for a quick scene at the very end.

  Front porch pansies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little birds on the front

porch have hatched although

I have no idea when.  I kept

watching the past 3 weeks, but

never saw anything or heard

a peep.    Mike thought he saw

them a couple of days ago

when the mommy bird (or

daddy bird, there are 2 birds

tending the nest) flew up and

appeared to be feeding them.

Today I actually saw 2 little tilted

heads, but couldn't get a picture.

This is the best I could manage!

One of the parents has a hurt/deformed

 foot, but seems to be doing ok.   I 

keep a look out as much as I can

 for all the cats that are out and about.

We still have unseasonable cool

 weather and rain.   When I took

 these pics it was dusk and clearing

 a bit although another storm is
suppose to be coming Friday morning
thru Saturday.....also some rain on

Sunday and Monday too!

I am behind in all my planting

as I keep thinking it is March,

not June!    I shouldn't complain

as the rest of the nation is having

 such a hard time, but where is

 our lovely Northern California Spring?

HAVE AN EXCITING WEEK!
