No promises....

Okay, I know you think you are tired of hearing about these baby birds in the nests in my backyard, but I just HAVE to show you a picture of how they look today.  They have doubled or tripled in size, and the mom stays on the nest almost all the time.  If I go out there to try and get a glimpse, she might fly off of it and try to distract me with one of her injury acts.  But it's a little like she knows me now, and she knows I am not going to hurt her little ones. 

And as usual, every time the camera snapped, these poor little things thought they were fixing to get lucky in a "Mama's here to feed me," kind of way.  I didn't bother them very long.  I had other business to take care of in the yard.  There were plants, flowers and trees to be watered and cared for.

Like this lovely pot on my back porch....   if you are one of my sons, you know where this came from, and I am enjoying it every day this summer!  Muah!

But on the way back to the house, we found this little critter wandering around in the grass.  Of course, someone picked him up and chased me around the yard trying to make me hold him.  "Horned toads are just the coolest things ever!" I think were his exact words.  Well, that they may be, but I have no need to carry one around.  Don't need to touch one.  Nothing.  Over and out.
