Nest



Today was a much better day then yesterday. I cannot thank everyone for the words of support. It really helped. I woke up and made coffee and went out to the patio. It is still cool in the morning and gorgeous, that is  if you get up around 5 - 6 ish. Anyway I  have a wonderful lemon tree right off  my patio and a nightingale  is making a nest in it ! She has braced it up against one of the few remaining lemons. I hope the lemon stays in place for the nesting  season or the "cradle will fall"... Oh and this is peanut in her little "night night nest" taking a  mid day snooze. What a little pink  piggy tummy she has...

Hi Julie
Are you getting excited for this weekend? I wish I could be there to learn from you and meet all the other girls.
We got home Saturday night. Oh what a great time I had. Nina is everything you would hope for and more in a teacher and a person.
So sorry about the dog incident. We stopped in Utah on the way back home and I had something similar happen. I had gone to Walgreens and was getting out of my car to go in when I noticed that the car next to me had a dog in it. On a closer look all the damn windows were up and he was just panting so hard. I take a few steps toward the door and out walks this young guy. I look at him and say hey is that your dog in the car he says yeah and I say well he is burning up and his reply,nah he's fine. Some people should not be allowed to have pets.
I would love to hear your nightingale as I don't believe I have ever heard one.

Nightingales have such sad sweet songs. I used to hear them at night in Berlin. Out here in the countryside, we don't have any.
Peanut is really cute.

Oh my, a lemon tree - that sounds so lovely and exotic to us mid-atlantic dwellers! How sweet to have a nest so close.
Take good care of Peanut.....she looks so sweet napping.

I'm glad today was a better day for you Julie. I don't think I have ever heard a nightingale sing (reminds me of that song "...a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square".

Peanut looks so sweet sleeping - her little pink tummy is adorable!
