Nothing Happens At Ten

Check out the temperature today.

Yikes! And it’s only early June.

I wonder how DG is making out in that Santa Hat.

I’ll get back to ya on that.

So, DG wants to go back to flowers. Here’s a few flowers.

That’s the bush that the robins built their nest in.

Here’s the other side of the same bush.

Not enough flowers? How about some Rhododendrons?

We’re just getting started. It’s still early.

Since “we” have decided to go back to frowns, let’s see what we can do with this.

Here’s a basic skeptical frown.

A full-on, just plain frown.

Outrage.

Just plain rage.

I thought you’d never ask.

It was kind of a hoot drawing DG with faces other than a frown. I thought it would be fun to do some more of that.

Here is “Relaxed”

How about “Amused”?

He would look good “Mildly Surprised”

Let’s go for “Hilarious”

Oh! Cool. “Exhausted”

Well… that was fun.

It seems that the robins have abandoned their nest. At first I thought that maybe they got upset when I took a photo of their eggs, but then I looked into their nest again and saw this.

Something has raided their nest and taken one of the eggs. I suspect that they have moved to a safer location.

Then, I took a look at the mourning dove nest, and it was empty too.

But, do not despair. We looked around and found the mourning dove family safe and sound on the ground under the bush.

And the best part of it is that it gave me an opportunity to draw DG with an expression other than a frown.

OK. Back to normal.

The Mourning Dove nesting outside of our laundry room has hatched two chicks. Here is a photo of them sitting under their proud mama.

Can’t see ’em? Look in the circle.

It appears that I have suckered DG into cooing over baby birds. I will have to get back to him on that.

Anyway, the robins aren’t far behind. While the robins were out looking for lunch I sneaked up to the nest and took this photo.

Unfortunately, the birds saw me and let me have it with both beaks. Yikes. Such a chattering. You would think that I had invaded their nest or something.

Stay tuned.

This year, we have two birds nesting around the house.

The Robin has built a nest in the portico near the front door again.

And the Mourning Dove has built a nest in the bush at the other end of the house, just outside the window of the laundry room.

Pretty cool.

It’s only been a month and a half.

Besides, it’s better than the crappy jokes you were telling.
