Time Flies When You're Having Fun (or Doing Homework)

Yes Grandma, it is a flicker!

WOW, it's been a busy couple weeks and I have neglected the blog. But, I'm back!

There has been lots of activity at our house. Spring is around the corner and the neighborhood birds have accepted my gift of a bird feeder in our willow tree. We have had a lot of activity and the boys enjoy watching our diners from the back door.

Our most recent guest was our neighborhood woodpecker (Grandma calls it a flicker). I hear these can do damage, but I have high hopes ours is nicer than those that hang out at my mom and dad's house.

I am currently seeking applicants for a nice robin family to put their nest on our front porch again. We had so much fun last year watching Huey, Dewey, Louie and Bob grow up and learn to fly. Even Andre and Taylor liked watching them in their nest. I even think they come back to visit every now and then. 

Next week the boys go to the vet for a check-up... Andre's post teeth cleaning and Taylor's yearly exam. Taylor has a little mole on his muzzle and  I want Dr. Burns to look at it. There's just something about a bump when you have dealt with cancer that makes a person (or dog) nervous. We just need his reassurance.

Overall, between work and school things have been busy... the boys are really excited I'm almost done with economics. They better watch out - ethics in the legal environment might not be any better! We are crossing our fingers and paws :)

At least the weekend is almost here, hopefully we can all relax and watch the birds, if even for a minute!
