Wow! Thanks everyone for your nice comments! Made my day! You ALL inspire me so much to think "beyond the box". Before I joined the forum, I would have never thought to place a paperweight in my garden. You keep my creative juices flowing. Thank you for inspiring me! I "haunt" shopgoodwill, but Carol has banned me from it for awhile! LOL My last purchase before the ban (LOL) was a wood squirrel holding a brass nut. Can't wait to get it! Should look cool on our country porch. Karen and Luna, I love the Miscellaneous, Home Decor, Collectibles, Figurines, and Glass categories. It's amazing what you can find there but some things are pricey with shipping so I try to be careful. :o) Thanks again, everyone! It's so nice that summer vacation is finally here, and I can spend time in the gardens! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Thanks everyone! These guys are unique. I have listened to them for weeks now! I thought I would post a pic of one of the babies that surfaced this morning... He is ready for his flying lesson and Mom is on alert! One at a time I guess, the others are just hanging out poking their heads out every now and then.. Such a wonderful experience.

It's lovely. But if you can't, it doesn't matter. ''So anything to do with lifestyle -- clothes, food, louboutin shoes , hats, bags or pens. Things that make you feel good. Everything to do with your vision of what a 'lifestyle' should be. I'm very lucky. The teams who work for me are fantastic. There's the architects and the management people, the chefs, the couture crowd. They create a lifestyle around me just by being so supportive. That's why management is so important. It just doesn't run away. You don't create something and leave Authentic louboutin shoes. Here is a link that might be useful: cheap louboutin shoes on sale

Thanks, Jordanwalker, for responding to my question. It makes a lot of sense that those are the Blue Jay's eggs. They seem too big to be the Cardinal's eggs and we have a lot of Blue jays here. The missing egg theory is interesting and it's kind of scary too for them to eat their own eggs/nestings! In some ways I'm not too surprised too as they're pretty aggressive birds. One Summer, they built a nest over out garden arch and three little birds hatched. The parents were very protective of them and kept sqawking at us whenever we walked under the nest. They always bully other birds including the Cardinals that regularly visit our garden. The Cardinals aren't aggressive, but they sure are brave enough to not to give up their ground easily.
