Something Special

Yesterday, Grayson said, "Mom, I need to show you something.."

So, I followed him to the fort, which used to be surrounded by trees before the drought over the past few years.

It now stands alone in the west yard, looking a bit sad, since the kiddo is too old to play in it now. Anyway, he led me up the stairs and pointed to the corner and said, "Look."

...So, I did.......wow.......

A tiny nest with three tiny little pale blue eggs snuggled close together. What a special treat!

Today, just moments ago, I went up to check on them. As I climbed the stairs, the mom flew a bit frantically away. I did not mean to scare her, but I guess I am pretty big and scary to her.
As I peeked in, I was thrilled to see that today there are FOUR eggs nestled together! What a delightful spring surprise. I am so glad that this little family has found such a perfect place to be - out of the way and protected (for the most part) I can hardly wait til they hatch....happy days!
