Bessie and the Gals were

playing hide and go seek the last I saw them.


I can't help but giggle, when I see the huge animals standing behind a tree and telling me to shhhh.  Why do they think their friends can't see them behind the tree?  I can't tell.  But they laugh so hard when they turn around and get over to their friend who is hiding.  The way of the cow's frolicing is very amusing.

They run after one another with such abandon, whether it is tag or hide and seek or their laps, as they call them, it is astounding how they entertain one another, when they are not gossiping.

Gossip is their primary passion and I don't think it is malicious, just their way.

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
