Well, I literally just finished reading the latest headlining story in the ‘Parade” magazine about the first lady chosen for our Supreme Court Justice, Mrs. Sandra Day O’Connor. And then I came here & read your topics for today & saw your pictures & thought how fitting yet again. Amazing strides in history for women & indeed some (if not most) of it still quite fresh. Also should note that I took the, “Can You Pass The Citizenship Test?” in the magazine’s sidebar. Seems Mrs. O’Connor has helped develop a Civics curriculum to help more than the 1 out of 3 American adults that cannot answer at least 6 (out of 10) questions correctly? I passed but some of the questions I really had to think about…?

Aw! So cute, I want one, or two.

American Robins’ are wonderful birds; a pair usually nest in or really close to my garden each year. The parent Robins seem to take turns flying into my garden patch & pluck/pound away at the ground until they pull up a protein filled mouthful for their little nestlings. During the Robins’ nesting time it’s like a non-stop delicatessen here. Although just recently I was moving some of the plant filled containers around in the garden & became absorbed with a project where I was removing a miniature Dogwood tree (that is no longer miniature:-) out of the extra large container & into the ground. As I worked on this project I could see birds flying into the garden but was too busy with my project to look up. When I finally looked about a dozen songbirds flew out from this one patch of newly exposed dirt; seems I uncovered a multitude of delicious treats for our flying friends.

Looks like your Robin caught their meal on the wing; I’ve watched Robins’ do this with moths before & the big eyed~awkward flying~green thingamagiggies? Sorry, I forgot the name…?

This looks like too many people crowded in one place to appeal to me! But I love books and don’t take enough time to enjoy and explore them more often. I also love the way libraries feel when you can go in and just browse the shelves and magazines.

OhMyGosh, I remember it well … the culture of the Bunny. And, now I know the pretty smile on the bunbun’s savior’s face :o)

Good grief, this is like kismet for you & me today as I too have a baby bunny in my garden. Only thing is the bunny in my backyard has eaten many of my heirloom plants:-( And yet I find myself here typing this as the little muncher lays quietly in my Vinca Vine??? I’ve scooted the bunny out of the yard so many times now I believe I’ll just let him rest there under his protector as he apparently has taken a liking to my garden angel & sleeps just behind her wings? Thanks for the tip on the book; I will check it out.

I think we choose a good rut to be stuck in or a grumpy rut.

Thanks for the lesson which is also from my past. I remembered all but alliteration. Guess I’ll remember that now too.

I had forgotten about onomatopoeia. What a fun quiz!

I have a few odd raspberries in my garden at this moment. The bees are buzzing all around the flowers. As soon as it cools down, there will be lots of raspberries in the freezer. Now sometimes I wish I had blackberries. Your picture is gorgeous.
