Save The Birds! Scare The Cat!

Grace is becoming the "great protector" of our birds. Our next door neighbor's cat has been seen conspiring and creeping up our deck while the birds are around. Mom has even saved a bird or two from the jaws of that cat in previous years, so we know he is capable!!! What once was a friendly cat visitor has now become a new danger and concern for Grace. She has found a new thrill in scaring the tar out of the kitty when he has a mind now to visit.

The Ivory Gull Video Addiction

Jack has become addicted to an online video of a special white bird. He has been asking over and over again to watch it. We have gone over Cornell Lab's Orthinology site at least a few times now, and their favorite part are the videos of birds. Not sure what it is but the Ivory Gull has caught Jack's heart and fancy.

I Spy Edgar Degas

A non-school day, but Grace suggested another game of "I Spy". This time Grace had the joy of picking out the cards and finding the items to spot for us to find. Jack was quick to participate in the fun.

Enter Mother Wren
