I absolutely love them.....so much better than the apple pies others have on their menu!

Aren't they good? I think I might just have Mr. Bear stop by and pick some up on the way home. I have a craving for an Empanada or two.

[Mama_Bear]

......have you ever had Any Problems with Squirrels Eating them?

Actually, I rarely see squirrels around here. We are on the outskirts of town, just down the street are acres of cotton and grapes. You would think we would have more critters around here, but all I ever see is a fruit rat once in awhile and, of course, lots of birds. I could live happily without the fruit rats in my yard. LOL. Oh, and we also have gophers. I could live without them tunneling under my garden too.

Here's a Pic of an Easter Phoebe I Found on the 'Net, just Like the Phoebe's that are Starting a Family on my Porch, Lol. (The Mama Bird is Sitting on the Nest!) : )

How wonderful that you have a nest to watch too. Isn't it fun?

I don't think that Phoebes live around here. I've never seen a bird that looks like that sweet little one.

Oh, my gosh!! That’s a funny picture! “FEED ME!!!”

[Mama_Bear]

Wow! That is a great drawing of a hummingbird, Marissa! You are an artist!

Just stopped in to say hi and see how’s everyone, I am still not 100%, my sinuses are killing me, this weather changing business doesn’t help any, lol....We had to take Quentin to get his blood levels checked for Lead today, he did pretty good, I don’t like needles at all...

[JustAmy]

Don’t you wish we had some of these colorful birds? I saved that picture a couple of years ago. I don’t know whether it is a bluebird or just a blue bird. :^ )

I always wished we had cardinals .... now I want bluebirds.

[Mama_Bear]

What a beautiful blue Australian Fairy Wren, MEG! We didn't see any of those when we were in Australia, but we did see some "Rainbow Lorikeets". When we were visiting a koala habitat in Brisbane, we even got to hold their "gruel" bowl as they ate. They seemed to love the stuff. Looked like oatmeal to me.

Jk took these photos. That's me on the bottom left holding their food bowl.

Yes, Amy, wouldn't it be nice if we had birds like this in our neighborhood?

Happy International Bird Day!

[Mama_Bear]

Sinus problems are miserable. Sure hope you get to feeling better soon.

[Mama_Bear]

How come we don’t have Cardinals? Why won’t they live here? I want Lightening Bugs too. We’re missing out on these things, Amy. :-(

Oh, those pictures leave me breathless! I would just LOVE to feed those beautiful birds with my own hands!

BTW, mama B, I love the picture of you. I just KNEW you were beautiful! ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Another International Bird, an Ibis, joined us for lunch at an outdoor cafe in Sidney.....

Poetgal, hot wet compresses do WONDE$RS to loosen up blocked and infected sinuses. I use a hand towel, heat it in the microwave (not too long), take it out, make sure it’s not too hot, then get in the recliner, and put it accross my nose and cheeks. (About ten minutes - 3 or 4 times a day.) That is my suggestion, and not medical advice. (But it works for me, and was advised by my physician.)

Hope you feel better real soon!

[Mama_Bear]

BTW, mama B, I love the picture of you. I just KNEW you were beautiful! ;-)

Well, thank you, yorkie. ;-)

I cropped myself out of the picture so that the rest of you guys wouldn't feel bad. LOL. ;-)

[JustAmy]

Happy International Bird Day!

Had a day care group of 4 and 5 year olds come by the store to see the chicks today.
They all drew me a picture of a chick."

How sweet! I can see why you would enjoy working there.
The plants and the little ones would grab me.

[Mama_Bear]

Oops! Make that “Sydney”.

[yorkie]

I just THIS MINUTE got permission to tell a BIG secret to you all:

TODAY IS PANDY’s Birthday! (Pandoraou812)

Please help her celebrate (this VERY special birthday) before she turns in tonight!

Thank you, everyone!

[yorkie]

We appreciate that, as MOST of us are not beauty queens!!

ROTF!

[gardengirl]

Wow! Australia?! I am so jealous! I’d love to go there, but I am such a homebody!

[gardengirl]

Sorry you’re still under the weather! Hopefully the weather will straighten out soon!
