Calendar

Good Morning All:
I just happend upon something on the net and thought it might be helpful to some of you - especially if you have little ones around and are running in ten different directions. Go to www.bhg.com which is the Better Homes and Gardens web page. On the right hand side of the screen there are three 'boxes' (for want of a better word) The third box down from the top has three tabs along the top of the box. (I know this is confusing but I think it will be pretty obvious when you get there) The third tab is entitled "calendar". Click on that and it goes to a web page that helps you set up a color coded calendar for all your activities. It can then be accessible by your cell phone.......something like that. Anyway it is free and from a secure site and sounded interesting for those with busy schedules.

More news: Kim and Nick were in a small accident earlier this week. No one was hurt but both were pretty shaken. We are waiting from the insurance company to decide if their car can be fixed. Things can happen so fast; we never know what is waiting around each corner.

The weather is beautiful here today - going up to 70. Today is Ted's birthday and we have decided to go to Keeneland for the day. It is so beautiful there and we really enjoy it. But tomorrow - yard work, yard work, yard work. Spring is such a busy time!

Love to all, let us hear from all of you. b

Hello everyone!!
As I am trying to not get too excited, for fear of something throwing a wrench in our plans, I have some very exciting news I wanted to share....
Charlie has decided to move home once this school year is out!

YAY!!!!
So, please keep us in your prayers and hope that things move nicely and that this transition will be fairly easy for Charlie, this is a big step for her!

Birth Announcements

We are very pleased to announcement the birth of our 3 new Robins.

The nest is on top of a straw shelving unit on our back porch. When we went out this morning to check on the nest, we found 3 eggs had just hatched, and the 4th is still there. The mother Robin is quite bust so we could not stay long.




We are on the look out for Baby Canadian Mallards......But we have not even found the nest. Elmer and Gertrude have been daily visitors to our back porch dinning room and seem to be quite happy with the menu of bird seed.

We will keep everyone informed as things develop.

Happy Easter

Happy Spring and Happy Easter to everyone. We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring around here and I think I can safely say it has arrived.



Spring has finally come to Kentucky. A robin built this next on top of a straw shelf on the downstars patio. She is very protective and fusses at us each time we go outside. We did manage to get this picture. Should have babies before too long!






Here is another sure sign of Spring. This is Mr. and Mrs. Duck (a.k.a. Elmer and Gertrude) They have been visiting us each spring since we had the pool. They used to like to swim in the water that had accumulated in the cover over the winter. They would then meander up to the bird feeder and have a snack. (We used to call it "Club Ted") After we had the pool taken out, they still come by each Spring to visit. Ted almost has them eating out of his hand this year. They are beautiful and so much fun to watch.



And of course, my personal favorite sign of Spring. My first hand picked beautiful flower picked just for me. Doesn't get any better than this!!

Thanks to everyone who has added to the blog. It is really fun seeing what everyone is doing....from viewing the moon (great pictures Todd) to seeing a 'crest' for our name (another bird!) to news about the Turkeys in Grant County (Linda had great pictures last week) to birthday wishes. Speaking of birthdays........ Father Rick had a great birthday party last week for Uncle Mike and Aunt Linda. Everyone had such a great time. The kids especially loved riding the horses........





Hope you all have a great Easter and enjoy Spring. Love to everyone, hope to hear from all of you soon.

Birds

I finally found a pic of the birds nesting in the front porch.



Would love if Nick could tell us what they are and what to feed them.
