Goldfinches & Grandies

The goldfinch is putting on its summer coat! 

January

November

How quickly the years pass! Jordan was home briefly (24 hours) for a trivia event. They happen. It makes sense for him to participate in these. I remember how often we'd be sitting at the dining room table and the question was posed, "Gramma, did you know...?"

Aster is tallest despite being younger!


A fun time at Ikea!

On my way out to feed deer I walked right by Good Bunny Labbit! I didn't notice her. I came back to get a bird feeder filled, spotted her, and thought I'd just let her be. The birds would have to wait.





She hung around until I went out to fill feeders and put up March decor. More on that later. 

Here she was the day before. She scared me!

   

 Butch Raccoon is awake!

Spring is in the air. I put garbage out and did not need my winter mitts. This is progress. Have a good week everyone.

The winter mitts won’t be needed much longer.

I move around much like Butch when I first wake up from a winter's sleep...not at all like Good Bunny Labbit. Those deer plainly know the camera is a good friend, after all, the same folks who put it up feed them!

Even though there is still snow on the ground, these photos do feel like spring is happening! You must be so proud of your grands :)

LOVED the photos of both the kids together -- then and now. And a wonderful image of sweet Good Bunny Labbit!
