Comments (8)Here is my share taken several years ago. This baby osprey finally flew from the nest but got stuck on the porch roof for several hours. His parents encouraged him all afternoon until he flew off directly home....See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Fri Mar 20

Comments (11)Tony has never caught one. Our lanai has vinyl and screens. He jumps and tries to grab the lizards, but cannot get through the vinyl and screen. Still, the idea is in his head that it might be something new to play with other than his toy mice!...See More

8 years agoI did see a few crocuses in bloom yesterday, but today they are covered with snow. This is 'birdfeeder man' doing his good deed for the birdies...and squirrels and deer who will be sure to get their share. (notice the ungloved hands...next he will be complaining about splits in his fingers so he can't wash dishes)

8 years agoMy creation isn't as fancy as Nicole's but it sure does the trick!!! A super-cheap kitty box. Our cats love boxes, so I put an old t-shirt over the opening, and tied the excess at the back with an elastic.
Bud has been in it, and Roxie loves playing with it, hasn't been all the way inside yet.
