The birds are back

Yes you read it right. The robin is back sitting in the nest, no signs of little ones yet but soon I am guessing. I checked it out, the robins have 2 to 3 nest a year. So I am going have more bird dropping on my step soon.

Enough of them on to my knitting. I got more yarn yes more yarn on sale this time at a $1 a ball for 100% wool. I plan on making a felted bag. Here is the photo of the yarn.

This is all I found when I was in the store, but I went back two days later and they must have put out more so me I bought more the second one is green and I got only 6 balls (thats all there was, if there was more I would have proably got more).

Ok I sent off the bag that I made for the swap I was telling you about and she recieved it yesterday and I am so glad that she likes it. Here is the picture I can now share with all of you. I didn't line it ( I still need to line the two I made for myself, I am not sure how but I will get to it) she is going to.

Now if this doesn't work and you want to check it out its maternal madness knits in my blog list on the side. Well it didnt work maybe someone could help me out and tell me how to post a link (in the comments) Thank you.

This is all I have for this posting I hope to get to post more often in the future I am a little behind only because I was having computer troubles and got it all sorted out now I hope. God Bless and have yourself a great day.

Here is the last one wonder when did everyone go?


HPIM0438

This is all I have for the birds, They didn't come back. Now I get to clean the porch when they left all the droppings. My son took a picture of that too but I don't think that you all need to see the mess that they left. This is all for this posting God bless and have yourself a wonderful day.

Now to let you all se the progress of the baby birds. They are getting bigger and we are able to see them in the nest. They all have their heads sticking out, they are too big to hide in the nest. Soon they will be off flying around I hope to see this when it happens and if I do I will try to get pictures for all you to see.

Life's little things

About two weeks ago a robin started to build a nest in my porch. I asked my husband how long does it take them to build the nest, his reply was "I don't know I never built one". Ya thats a good one neither have I, I told him. It took about 2 days, now we have a nest and we have been keeping our eyes open and watching, the mother on father take turns sitting. Now we see 4 little heads popping out looking for food. The birds take turns feeding them. I was lucky enough to snap a picture and not scare them here is a couple of pictures to share with all of you who enjoy nature.

This is with the bird sitting and keeping the little ones warm.

HPIM0391

Here they are quiet and sleeping.

HPIM0392

This one you can see two of the four babies looking for the food.

HPIM0393

This last one shows three of the four babies. I didn't want to take to many pictures and scare of the parent only because they may not come back to take care of the little ones.

Hope you enjoy the photos and have yourself a good day.
