Just keep swimming

Thank you all for your kind words about my sweet Emma-cat. It is weird living without her. I keep expecting to see her around every corner and on every couch. Aiden has a very pragmatic attitude about the whole thing: “Well, we won’t have to step in cat puke anymore.” He is so very sensitive.

This past week, spring arrived in earnest.

Dog with the crazy eye!

We celebrated some birthdays too. Too bad the birthday people couldn’t be with us! But any excuse for goodies and fun dishes, I say.

We have silly birds with nests right outside both of our doors. A robin on the front porch and a cardinal in the yew by the back door. The robin squawks and scolds, but the cardinal just flutters away as soon as she senses our approach. Tiny eggs.

Can you see the blue bit at the bottom of the nest?

I love these speckled cardinal eggs. Unfortunately, the gutter drips all around this nest when it rains. I hope it doesn’t hurt the eggs or discourage the mama.

    I think mama Robin is very laid back- she doesn’t dive bomb you at the front door!
    Like the gardening photo= and you took a picture of an EMPTY party plate- I thought it would have a piece of carrot cake on it!
