Amanda's favorite is Zuri.















J loves giraffes because they have long tongues that reach out to grab leaves (no need to mention their necks). Photo copyright Hogle Zoo.





















Monkeys easily mesmerize Bill and Jeremy.














Carol's favorite is knawing a bone.

The Balance

Sometimes the balance between holding on and letting go is sooooo difficult to manage.

Having Fun, Really

J looks so much like his dad . . . looking like it's painful to have fun! (I still love you both)

My Three

First Ride of Spring

Finally! Out for a spring ride.

Springtime is Coming . . .

Springtime is coming, is coming today,
For I heard a robin, who was calling her this way.














We noticed them both early Saturday morning -- picking up things here and there -- tucking and stuffing. They worked all day -- and built this! It's only about six feet off the ground (I hope a cat doesn't get it). As Bill stood on the rock at the base of the tree and peeped in, he exclaimed, "It's lined with one of your anti-bacterial wipes! Can't you keep your trash off our grass?!" They also found a pretty blue ribbon!

They went away for about a week. They must have been watching from across the street because each time we would get near it, a couple of birds in the park would squawk like crazy!

Now she sits most of the day, and he stays close. Bill lifted J to peer in -- promptly reporting ONE BLUE EGG!

Hey, we have a tree big enough for a nest!
