The yellow-headed blackbird is so beautiful and unusual! I've never seen anything like that here. Hope it comes back often so you can see it again! <br /><br />You can't go wrong with episodes of Mr. Rogers. I miss that show. Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street...good shows that had positive messages. <br /><br />That's so nice that Ian wanted to do a watercolor picture for his mom and dad. Those homemade gifts are the most thoughtful ones that parents appreciate. <br /><br /><br />Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-73236531284359487142018-07-09T11:16:14.295-05:002018-07-09T11:16:14.295-05:00I'd never heard of a yellow-headed black bird....I'd never heard of a yellow-headed black bird.

Artistic, too. Such a blessing to be close with grandkids. And looks like Annie has something new in her life with that grass. I was intrigued by the yellow headed blackbirds.

I googled them and see I'll have to be content with your photos. They are never found anywhere near me.<br /><br />Brussels sprouts -with or without lemon- not my thing lol <br /><br />It sounds like y'all had a delightful time together. You are bringing back memories for me of my kids enjoying art activities. Such fun :) A picture may be worth a thousand words, but your words drew pictures for me in my mind, and I could see y'all just fine :) Sweet!Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-2353620231248129582018-07-05T11:25:13.766-05:002018-07-05T11:25:13.766-05:00And a wonderful time was had by all!!And a wonderful time was had by all!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-72409677920869610532018-07-05T05:16:23.512-05:002018-07-05T05:16:23.512-05:00Yay!

I am so thrilled to see your photos of the birds and wildlife, especially the yellow headed blackbirds - ours here are just black (although the female is always brown!!) Seeing Annie makes me smile too, she really has settled so well - you were meant to be together!! My grandchildren don't like Brussel sprouts either - but they will eat a few now! Have fun with Ian - I suspect he'll be wanting to visit your bedroom again!

I love th...Awwww....bless Annie's little heart! I love those pics of her looking at you to get your okay to try the cat grass...<i>so sweet!</i> I'm so glad to see that she likes cat grass too, just like Karma. <br /><br />I always get a kick out of the baby birds demanding food too. I do hope the thirteen striped ground squirrels stay safe. They are so cute! <br /><br />WOW! A yellow-headed blackbird...COOL! They are gorgeous!<br /><br />I'm confused about your mention of the little birds on the air-conditioner. You mean the part of the air-con outside? Does Annie hear the sound of them echoing through to the inside air-con and she is curious about the sound? Or does she see them land on the outside part and wonders when they are coming inside? <br /><br />I love seeing all your critter pics too. <br /><br />It sounds like the unexpected Gramma Day was a hit — <b>Happy Birthday to Ian!</b> What fun he will have with those watercolours. <br /><br />Funny re. Ian with the Brussels Sprouts — they are my favourite! I usually roast them but I love them cooked any way. Too cute about Ian hiding his painting because he wanted to surprise both Mummy and Daddy together at home. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the rest of your week too. A letter arrived from you yesterday and I mailed one off to you this morning. :)<br /><br />Love and hugs from DownUnder. xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-80619840008199100752018-07-03T18:22:53.668-05:002018-07-03T18:22:53.668-05:00They are such lovely looking birds, I know zero ab...They are such lovely looking birds, I know zero about cat grassJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-70842214336719723062018-07-03T15:14:23.495-05:002018-07-03T15:14:23.495-05:00I adored Mr. Rogers.

Delightful enough to forget to take pictures - you do lovely story telling.

Annie looks like she is really enjoying it.<br /><br />Lovely birds, although I've never heard of them before. You captured them beautifully, though.<br /><br />SO glad you had a good Gramma day.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Mr. Rogers is for pretty little kids, I think. By the time Dagan was somewhere between five and six he felt too old for him anymore.

No email notifications so I am making my comment so that I can get the updates on who commented and can reply. <br /><br />I'm glad it worked for you, Djan. I guess I have to keep adding a comment. The cat grass might be helping a little with her toxic farts and poops--LOL! They are such striking birds. I just read a little about them and these are all the males. I think I have seen a female but wasn't sure what it was. I'll keep an eye out.<br /><br />Erika--they are a handsome bird and noticeable. I think back to a year ago when Annie came to live with me and how scared and shy she was. Makes me smile to see that she has become attached to me. :)<br /><br />Joy--I do hope Ian will remember some of our times together. Such fun! Been about 40 years since I had a little boy to cuddle up with and watch Mr. Rogers and to talk with about lighthouses and dinosaurs. ;) Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-41260673438767686992018-07-02T21:33:09.029-05:002018-07-02T21:33:09.029-05:00You and Ian had the best time that a Grandma and a...You and Ian had the best time that a Grandma and and Grandson can have.
