The days in the fall are so lazy
The sky can be clear blue or hazy
…..We squeeze in our nap time
…..And plan for some lap time
Sleeping Beauty – thy name is Maezi.

We love the fall here…the beautiful colors, the cacophony of the adolescent birds trying to tell who’s who. The leaves crackle, the coyotes howl & [...]

The insects chirp, the birds twirp & tweet flitting in the sky, the fan whirs in oscillation. The Refrigerator hums & the local riffraff starts the Bark Fest down the hill.

Ah, the sounds of summer. I was hanging out on the patio, when I was startled by a really BIG bee. Only it wasn’t. It [...]

What’s that?! Oh, my heart! How it quickens
And pounds up and down like the dickens
…..That mesh is so queer
…..But why should I fear?
It’s only a wire for the chickens…

Auggie finds himself in “Limerick Limbo” this week. He is working on the next breed limerick, but he’s been kinda busy with a special project, [...]
Well, Maezi & I were checking out the roses in the front yard while our Mom was dead-heading them. (I didn’t know there was such a thing as a rock & roll rose). Anyway, a big bright Jay swooped right overhead & sat on the rain gutter. He (I think it might have been Ruder) [...]
The nest has sat empty, abandoned & has been taken over by spiders…
You can see that the fine grasses were pulled apart so you can see thru the nest layer to the more rustic twigs below.
But earlier today, a juvenile Jay came by – checked out the rose bower – & hung around for quite [...]
We were hanging out in the living room & Maezi heard it before I did – she’s got really good ears. Have you ever seen her ears?! She saw a Jay fly into the nest, but she barked & ran out the dog door to the Predator Preserve, got under the nest & started barking [...]
There is a hole in my heart where 3 little birds should be. I never heard or saw anything going on in particular. Everything seemed perfect. The usual suspects were hanging around the yard. Jayne, Jayson, Ruder, the occasional Mocking bird, Sparrow, Humming bird – but no noise, nothing.
We woke up in the morning & [...]
Lost. Bereft.

They no longer exist.

Ok, we’re all here – everyone is a-twitter with anticipation. Jayson’s keeping watch over the hill.

The nest is a cozy spot for Jayne, who, admittedly, has had to do a lot of the work.

And then there’s that pesky third bird is hanging around…
staying close, but out of reach. I wish it would go away. If [...]
I can be patient…but maybe today the eggs will start hatching…
Jayne & Jayson seem pretty determined to sit on the nest all the time & I see them “head down” in the nest. I can tell they’re moving the eggs around – almost like they are inspecting some rare jewels…which, when you think about it, [...]
