I am looking forward to tomorrow. My youngest daughter and her guy are taking me to Omaha to the Henry Dorley Zoo! I think it is the world's best zoo.

Well, now that you know how to put up pictures, you have no excuse for not taking lots of pictures and sharing the zoo with us.

Dang it's windy!!!!! I went out with lots of vim and vigor and started raking up what I chopped down with the weedeater yesterday and the wind just carried it all over the place. Another day of wasted 'vim and vigor'. I s'pose I could clean house...NOT!

That's real purdy! I wonder if she got it with you in mind.


She did! She brought gifts back from Cabo, Mexico for all of us!

She is super fun and young at heart for someone close to 70! She is very animated and bubbly too!

It cold and windy here too!
I just went out and took pics of a retaining wall project to get before and afters. I found something in a tree we are cutting down!

Can you guess what it is? The pic isn't great because it's pretty high up so I had to crop it.

Looks like a mud nest of some sort. I hope it's not wasps!

There's a pair of Phoebe in my neighborhood. Last year they built a nice mud nest under the eaves of my house. But this year something kept disturbing them so they abandoned the idea.

Could it be a puffed up owl?

It's a hummingbird in her nest!
See the dark line in the upper left corner above the nest? That's her beak. I'll try to get a better pic later.
It so cute! I keep checking on her and she hasn't moved. Must be an egg or two in there.

Oh, yeah. Now that you've pointed it out, I can plainly see her beak and head. It puts the size into the correct perspective too. I've been thinking it's a lot bigger than it really is.

So no cutting down the tree now?

Cute little birds, I thought it was way larger as well. I expected a giant wasp nest!
