Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. Forgive, and then forget about the ones who don't.

Four Fuzzy Flycatchers
The Flycatcher babies have hatched and I've counted four gaping beaks, unless the one on the far right is a conehead. The proud parents are staying busy, flitting around the yard gathering bugs for the babies.
Even though I'm scared of birds, I love to watch their babies and it excites me whenever a nest is close enough for me to see it daily. And of course to keep the snakes away.
Hi Kit, The flycatcher babies are soooooo cute. Oh my what a treasured picture. Snakes oh my gosh could they get up to the nest where it is? I know nature is nature but that is just wrong for a snake to eat defenseless baby birds. You and the crew have a good day. Cecilia
Not sure if my earlier comment was posted, but those baby birds are sweet. I clicked on the Flycatcher link and listened to their birdsong. Jeter was looking all around the room... where are those birds?? Be careful of those snakes!! I would rather beware of moose and bears... snakes scare me to death!!!
I taught primary school for 27 years, and loved every minute of it. I am now enjoying retirement on 30+ acres in the north Georgia mountains with my husband and Labrador Retrievers.
When we aren't hanging out in the woods, we enjoy traveling in our RV w/ the dogs. One of our favorite destinations is the Pacific Northwest, especially the Oregon and Washington coasts.
My parents are deceased, I am an only child and have no children; therefore, my husband and dogs are my family.
My blog and blogging friends have taken the place of my classroom and students.
You could say, I've gone from SCHOOL DAYS to DOG DAZE.

Very cool. We bet they will get very loud soon enough.

When I think of little birds I think of constant hunger.
Are they related to labs?
Enjoy watching the little ones grow. We are posting signs for our local flies to report for duty at your place!

Furry khool!
A robin made a nest on my Sibestas' front porch - there were four beaks there too!
Happy Hunting!

Those are interesting looking puppies!
Awwwww...how sweet. What fun to be able to watch them grow and test their wings.
Who wouldn't catch flies with ones mouth open all the time!
Cute babies!
