Morning all. The sun is shining in NE Ohio. We still have about a foot of snow on ground. Hoping the warmer weather & rain this week will handle that. My drive way is still Ice.

I sent this out as an email & knew a lot of you here are bird lovers and would enjoy this.

If you enjoy photography &/or nature &/or birds, this video will thrill you~

Check out the secret lives of hummingbirds with the help of a special camera...very interesting. Just under 10 minutes long

Wonderfully sweet graphic! As the song says, "Yes, it is a wonderful world." Love the song, a real favorite! I have that on an old 33 with Jimmy Durante. Also have it on a CD by Rod Stewart!

I am waiting on an electrician. Its always something! My botton burner in my lower oven caught fire this morning. Tiny, but scary! I threw baking soda on it and got the soda over the place....did a lot of cleaning up!

But,"Its still a wonderful world. LOL!

[yorkie]

Thank you Billie. What a sweet picture! (And one of my most favorite songs!)

[yorkie]

Wow, JC! I’m SO glad you were able to contain it. And, YES! It is a wonderful world.

One of my most favorite Jimmy Durante songs is “Young At Heart”.

~What A Wonderful World~

Hi dear Polly!! Thanks....I've been peeping in on the Eagle this morning. So sweet.

Re: burner fire! About 15 years ago, in the top oven, the upper burner caught fire. Scared me so I called a neighbor and the fire department. When a burner begins to burn out in one place it catches fire in that area. Flames I can't take, even though its small, it makes me have a panic attack. I have been putting off calling a plumber for the upstairs bathroom but I had to substitute an electrician because this is more serious. When it rains it pours...LOL!

Have a sweet day!

[MEG33]

What a wonderful opening and the song is perfect...Love it.

[MEG33]

Yes, Billie, it IS a wonderful world - especially in Spring!

A SALUTE TO SPRING

The gaiety of spring in bloom,
The greening of the trees.
The heady scent of blossom
Drifting on the breeze.
A festival of nesting birds
Hidden from the eye,
Caress the ear with music,
Sopranos of the sky.
There's beauty in a blade of grass,
A raindropp on a leaf,
So open up your hearts and minds
And cast out winter's grief.

Daffodil Jackson

Polly, is this the same nest that we watched during the blizzard, and you were concerned that the momma was eating, and the pop wasn’t covering the eggs?

[jaycee]

Me too, yorkie! I am so glad I have my old 33's. There's a lot of good music on those! Takes me way back in sweeter days. You know those old-timey looking radio/combinations that were so popular for a while. I bought one of those. It plays 33's, CD's and cassettes! Plus I turn it on for Rush now and then. I've enjoyed that.

Never did get back to the thread yesterday. So busy with the books and was about finished when I remembered I had to go to the funeral home for a gentleman who passed away from our church. Stood in a long, long line. Fixed some dinner when I got back and I'm ashamed to say but about 9:30, I fell asleep in my chair and woke up at 1:30 AM. I was just worn out mentally and physically.

[jaycee]

Yes, it is! Precious little girl.

[MEG33]

Those are gorgeous daffodils..Love the poem.

[jaycee]

Beautiful daffodils and sweet spring poem.
