I just discovered today that my TRES eggs have hatched. They are so sweet...maybe they WOULD be good on crackers.<BR/>:-)Susan Gets Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-1149963298167555082006-06-10T13:14:00.000-05:002006-06-10T13:14:00.000-05:00Julie, I love your blog (and pictures of Chet).

Up with real life! Who needs a clean house with a yard full of miracles? After a rough day, what could be more soul-sustaining than to know that you are partially responsible for all those beautiful new lives around you?<BR/><BR/>Thanks to your suet dough recipe, we've had more bird families in our yard than ever before. Catbirds, robins, cardinals, woodpeckers various, and I've just seen a titmouse zoom by with a beakful of fluff from the nesting basket. Knowing they're out there cheers me up. So did discovering that the painted turtle eggs at my favorite local pond have hatched out into the most adorably miniature little jewels. You could put one in a walnut shell, and they barely make a plink when they drop off their rock into the water.<BR/><BR/>How grim life would be if we didn't notice these amazing natural things all around us!!jemkagilynoreply@blogger.com
