It's great to have good friends like that. Too bad that the birds had fledged, I was waiting for their first fly out. But I'm sure that Mom and Dad Bluebird will come again to your lovely place. I do like your country music as well, Betsy. Kenny Rogers is one of my favorites. Have a wonderful day.

I bet the bluebirds all made it..but am like you..would be sorry I missed it!<br /><br />I have Indigo Buntings, three of them so far....they come to the nuts and seeds I have sprinkled on the porch railings..they seem to like to land there better than in the hanging feeder.<br /><br />I hung a couple of the corncob in the wire holders out two days ago and today a squirrel finally noticed it..I've got pictures to post on my blog..and I've got pictures of the Indigo Bunting eating from a little wooden rocker where I scatter nuts and seeds.<br /><br />So glad you had a nice visit with your friends..Life for me in the mountains is GRAND!!! I have to make myself leave to go run errands..LOL<br /><br />I have a total of 17 feet worth of new windows being installed in our greatroom the middle of this month to bring in the great view..the guy that built this place must not have card about this view considering the small windows he installed..so we will definitely feel like we are living in a treehouse once all these windows go in..it'll be 10 feet on one wall and 7 feet on another. All of them will be 6 feet tall.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />StephanieStephanie Suzanne Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121430170088480348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-42358072565888115392009-06-01T16:35:36.331-05:002009-06-01T16:35:36.331-05:00Wonderful friends keep life worthwhile.

It's nice to have something extra along with family.<br /><br />I heard an NPR show the other day and did you know?....... birds have TWO voice boxes, amazing, and their hearing is superior to humans (that wouldn't be too difficult, not compared to me anyway). Some birds have twenty songs or more but the wood thrush has over two thousand! (hope I remembered the right bird).Mark Kreiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859999310512264254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-50166117505939035692009-06-01T16:27:31.669-05:002009-06-01T16:27:31.669-05:00Looks like you had fun with your friends!
