Penelope and Peter Pony
















are the 2 ponies that we pass on the way to the courts. Their parents Horace and Harriet Horsey are so posessive that they watch the ponies' every move. It looks as though they are expecting the little ones to fall on those little spindley legs of theirs.













They stay just at a nose distance away from them on their every move, their parents are parallel to them. "Back off mom and dad", I heard Peter say to his parents, and Horace and Harriet comforted one another that it is a pony's spirit to want to be more independent on their strengthening lanky legs.



















The first day or so they were stumbling and awkward but now weeks on their long legs had made the babies forget that they were just babies.

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
