We are Grandparents :)

“yes it seems that our little girl is no longer a little girl.
I came home last night and found out the heart breaking truth. No matter how you try to shelter them and try to teach them to do the right thing and just be smart about it, there is always that one child that has to learn the hard way.

so i am here to tell you all the great news.....

“you guys are tho thilly. :-)”

“lyra, did you noticed how tree went right after his manhood?


interesting fellows you allare”

“Your children are your children no-matter-what.

Your grandchildren are your reward in life for not murdering your children.

My 4 yr old grandchild waits on my porch with a squirt gun for me.(the varmit) He (& all his cousins) attack his father with squirt guns at the family gatherings. (I avoid these usually do to work)At these times he sends grandma to my shed to bring the super squirter.

Got jealous of his newborn brother & kicked the screen out of my wood storm door. (fixed that yesterday). Have a new (hand built) oak screen door on my front porch. Hope that one can stand up to him.”

“that is so sweet
i do look forward to grandkids someday SOMEDAY


but i just want to deal with baby birds for now.”

“Anybody noticed the much higher tone I'm posting with this afternoon?”

“I came home last night and found out that while I was gone over the weekend, my little Lulu who had been sitting on three eggs, became a mother. two of the three have hatched. it was a very touching thing to see. she sitting there looking at me and wanting to kill me for opening the box where her nest is in, Loki trying to fly up and peek my eyes out...ahhhhhh a great thing to see.


she has laid eggs before but I think Loki was shooting duds. so we now have 5 birds! what a great thing to come home to.

oh Lulu is a cockatiel”

“bump :)”

“gosh you scared me for a second. Congrats I guess :)”

“What a relief. I thought maybe twignut had sprouted.”

“Wooo Hoooo..I wanna be a Grandparent!!!!!!”

“still going strong. they are yellow like momma :)

but I can not clean the cage without them wanting to kill me!”

“Pictures?”

“yeah, where are the pics....PULEEZE???”

“The birds look very weird and tiny.”

“HELLLLOOOO i can not ever clean the cage and you all want me to take pics???


ok but if I get my eyes peeked out I will be mad at you all!”

“wear a beak........they won't know........

“lol somehow I think they would KILL me if I wore that”

“this is the only pic I have. I took this on Monday. then the mommy and daddy came home to kill me LOL


”

“BOIDS!”

“Doity, disgusting, filthy boids!”

“may a flock of seagulls crap on you.

haha
in some places of the world, this would be good luck!”

“Bird crap, good luck?”

“I think it is a polish thing. well thats what my ex in law told me
LOL”

“A load of bird poop is very good for the garden.”

“On a related note, one of the 3 house finch eggs on my front porch hatched this morning. Little teeny body, huge eyeballs.”

“sweet. your a mommy neighbor in law

HAHA”

“Ummm! Them baybe duks or chikkens or what never looks like a perty good snak!”

“Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When Belle visits the trees in a hurry
When Belle visits the trees in a hurry with a hungry spot
Watch her tongue and see how it flutters
When she eats those chicks cooked in butters
Nosey folks will peek through their shutters and their eye will pop”

“we had baby mourning doves in a tree outside a window here at work - this morning there was only some fluff left on the ground below the nest. A predator of some sort found them :(”

“well I was able to watch the last egg hatch. they are sooo cute. It was a very cool thing to watch”

“Rogers & Hammerstein are pulling some heavy RPMs at Forest Lawn right about now.


And Sarabelle is going to need an alibi for last night.”

“lol
that reminds me of last night. I was saying how I didnt think the eggs would hatch, cause i thought Loki was shooting blanks. with that I looked at treebeard and he just looked at me and said, "don't freaking look at me. I had nothing to do with this" I am still laughing at that”
