You know it's spring when........

I know that call well. It is cute to watch them build that nest.....I'm sitting about 6 ft on the couch, watching through the patio door glass. They land on the railing first, then go up to the birdhouse and in, a few minutes later back out to fly off into the yard to find more twigs. I left yarn bits out to soften the nest but they haven't used any yet that I know of.

lint from the washing machine is always good

I don't know, most of my lint from the laundry is cat hair. Would the birds use that anyway?

Tortie would get a gold medal for Dramatic Queen. She sasses whoever is approaching the kitchen and demands to be center of it all. She also demands that we drop everything and come to her when she flops.

Bijoux is insisting on sniffing the fresh air for a few minutes before I leave the building. So here he is, either on the leash or sitting on the walker seat at the door, sniffing the air and watching me cross the yard for home. He didn't want to do that when it was cold out.

Some of those yarn bits are missing so I'm hoping my lil chickadees are using it. Don't really want other birds to disturb my lil family.

The sound precious Fif.

this morning Mr. Starling was sitting on his perch, with some nesting material in his beak, still looking for a Mrs Starling.

I hope he finds one soon! My lil chickadees are so precious, so cute, and soooo noisy in the mornings! Amazing how loud something that small can be.

Massive shedding, so it seems, going with Pugsley with the change in weather.

Bij too, I get enough hair to build either a large schmouse or a small kitten off him every night.

Doyle used to shed like crazy. I often thought I should learn how to card her hair and spin it and knit a sweater. I have a friend who cards and spins wool

That would really be neat to see someone to something like that.

My brother used to have an Old English Sheepdog (Grover). His friend wove Grover's fur from his brushings into a wall hanging.

that sounds great!.

It does sound like a good way to remember a beloved furkid.

My neighbor has wrens nesting inside her bedroom wall.

I've got pigeons nesting on my windowsill, between the wall and the AC unit. I'd rather have some cool birds. LOL

Hail happened in Texas. I know someone is from Texas and the name escaped from me.

OhMy.......

I'm still waiting for our spring blizzard..............winter's last boot up our @$$......

last week was twisters in Dallas, and this week waist high hail.!

Everybody was stunned none more so than the folks in the panhandle. They had to get out
the snow plows to clear the roads.

I saw some pictures. my goodness!

I think I saw the same pics, it was unbelievable!

When you spend more time watching the sky and the radar than anything
else.

And listening for the tornado sirens to go off..........
