Three Little Birds

Found at Beemp3.com

I checked the nest today!  1,2,3 little robins have hatched!  One egg to go!  

Here is a little song just for those three!  :)

Adama

 I received a letter from Adama my sponsor child in Senegal.  He has such a big beautiful smile.  Excited that he and his family  are doing well!  It is amazing,  the kind of things that he appreciates:  used clothing, r ice, a sheep and oninons....  I'm so thankful for his perspective!  I don't need anything !

We're Expecting.....baby robins!

Momma Robin built her nest under the carport in one of my flowerpots. 

Today one of the eggs hatched!  Miracles happen everyday!  These beautify eggs are miracles and then the birth of the tiny bird is so amazing.  Gods ways are higher than mine!  I have read that robins usually only lay one egg per day.  Then she sits on the eggs for about 15 days.  They take another 15 days to leave the nest. The mom feeds the babies bugs and worms.  Adult robins also like berries.  

Garden Update

     Thankful for things that grow!  So the garden is growing since my last post!  I have had some pests nibbling on the green broccoli and squash.  I read that if you spray your plants with garlic/onion water....it will keep them away.  So I tired this organic alternative to chemicals tonight.  Time will tell if it works.  I have seen little tiny grasshoppers around the garden, I think they might be the bad guys.  I had to replant several squash plants outside the garden fence because they take up so much room.  It is amazing how fast everything is growing.  Just a little watering every other day seems to do the trick.

 

Today's Harvest!

Lettuces, first cherry tomato, sugar snap peas (must be hiding under the lettuce) blueberries, strawberry and raspberries.  The strawberries are slowing down now, only a few every other day.  

The blueberry bushes have never been so full!  Could it be due to the mild winter or that I added some homemade compost around the plants last fall?  Not sure.   I have been picking a handful each day and the cat birds and other creatures have enjoyed their share.  Plenty to go around this year!
