See Beautiful Friday

Yes it is true.  I am still alive and well. 

It is getting on to summer here and we

spend every minute we can, outside

enjoying our beautiful weather.

It is 8:30 at night and My Vickie still has

several hours of work to do before we

hit the sack, but she just couldn't go

one more month without participating

in "See Beautiful"Friday.

An our "See Beautiful" for today is:

For weeks we have been watching as a

little bird has laboriously built a beautiful

nest in our hanging planter on the porch.

Then one day at a time, we would see

one egg laid until five little eggs were

present in the little nest.

 Because our little momma has built a nest

in a very high traffic area with a few pups

who love to catch and eat little birds and 

of course Allred who is patiently waiting for his 

chance too, My Vickie has slowly, day by

day moved the little hanging planter to what

she hopes will be a safer area.

 Finally two days ago we looked in to see

two little babies hatched.  (I have to say

they are ugly little critters) but I guess we 

cant all come out looking as good as me.

One more day and now we have four babies.  

We expect to see the last baby chick out of

his egg tomorrow.

Now we have to build a special pathway for

the little ones to follow when they leave the nest

in a few weeks.  Somewhere safe and away

from Ellie and Allred.  (Our killer friends)

My Vickie is going out tomorrow to buy a tree

that we will plant AFTER the chicks have left

the nest but we will put the little tree under the nest

so that when they leave the nest, they wont fall

onto our cement below them.

Boy who knew that this could all be so involved.

And that is what makes it BEAUTIFUL.

When ever you make an extra effort to be

a part of this world, something beautiful happens.

We can't just sit back and wait for the beauty.

Well we can, but some things are more beautiful

when you work hard for it.

Enough talking.....go out and find something

Beautiful today.  We love and miss you all.

Bert and My Vickie
