Meet Beatrice

She is patiently waiting for her babies to hatch.

                                                                                 

Rain or shine, or heat or cold, she only leaves to feed herself.

She is going to be one good Mother.

See the board there? 

 It's so she can get used to seeing it,

and slowly it's working it's way towards her to block off the elements as I can.

She seems to be getting used to it, so soon I should be able to move it

closer.  I'd hate to see a stray cat find her nest.

Waiting for Triplets

Outside my window

a very tired little Mother Robin

has been working hard on first building her nest and

then laying her precious eggs in it.

A wonderful home.

  Not made with soft, fluffy comforts but with

sticks and hay and grass and a cleverness to put them all

together that I don't possess.

She has found a very cozy spot to make her nest,

and I hope she feels safe in it.

She does get a bit scared when we make noise around her,

and flies off to a shed to look down on us and

wait impatiently until we are done so she

can get back to sitting on her eggs again.

But we know she is anxious, and so we try to hurry.

That's where she was when I took these pictures, and flew off when

I tried to get her picture.

She's very shy.

Lucky for her, we won't move this tractor until

her babies are born, and grown enough to move

out on their own.

We are also waitng impatiently to meet our new

littlest neighbors.

A Nifty Thing I Learned

Here is a fun little gadget that I had for a long time, and wondered what it was for!

I figured it must be for the kitchen, but besides that, I didn't know.

A cookie cutter?

 

On one side there are 4 straight lines.

On the other side there is a tri shaped piece.

Today I had some time and looked this piece up online, and I found out what it is!!

I was so happy to know!  And it's one of the most brilliant little pieces of

red plastic I've seen yet!!

Curious as to what it is?

Check out the answer here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Follow me for more fun!

Thrifty Thursday

This Thursday I have a little project

that I'm going to be working on

and I hope to have it done for it's reveal, possibly....

next Thursday!!

Here is what I just got and it's really a barbie doll/ doll suitcase:

The chippy rusty red paint and the blue trim caught my eye right away!

The blue handle is a great decoration!

Here is what the inside looks like.  I see a clothes bar for hanging those darling little plastic dolly hangers!  Check out the awesome star paper inside.  This was awesome before and it's going to be awesome again!
