The Swing - Revisited

                                                    
                                                                   
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside-
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown-
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

A Pretty Day for Exploring

Lucy in the Sky With....

FIREMEN!!!! (28 feet)






Lucy would not go to the fireman. She went for the wire and with two paws began sliding/shinnying(?) along. She hung on (at about 18 ft.) and either jumped or fell.



I Couldn't look

But here is the outcome

This Might Be a First in Wedding Cakes



I should have known that something was fishy when I saw clean, unrolled toilet paper in the bathroom wastebasket. By the time I caught on, she already had the first two "tiers" done, so who was I to stop her from adding the third? :). She did tell me that she was going to decorate it with diamonds and send to big sister!! Just what you need, right BB?

All This Bird Activity



Has caused great interest for Cream Puff, the cat

Birds in the Winter


I was so proud of the girls. They took these pictures. Not bad for a 5 and 9 year old. We were excited to see the birds at our homemade feeders.

This is "for the birds"

Spotted around the bird feeder

Spotted at the land




These were spotted near the bird feeder


Homemade birdhouses


Woodpecker


K (9) surprised me with her birdhouse--not sure what I'm gonna do with this one :)  She is ready to trap wild birds now!


Searching through field guides

  Then a game of hide the bird!
  The best thing is that none of this was
  prompted by me!
