Late...

Can you see the babies? This is a really late hatch..they can't be more than a couple of days old. Momma was carefully watching out for mr hawk..while the babies were probably warming their little feet in the sunny dirt.

Here it is cooling off so much and supposed to be below temperatures this week

rain on the way...there is still lots of cover so they might do okay

and they are in our beans which are weeks away from harvest...

i hope they grow...

Craig spotted them for me to get their picture....i was ready...or i surely would have missed them...

if i can enlarge them just a little more

they will be the next pheasant platter...

i am STILL enameling the platters!!

i haven't fired again though so nothing to show...

thanks for dropping in and have a fabulous day!

holiday too if you celebrate those kinds of things...

Nature's Bounty..

Momma bird has been sitting her nest for what seems like FOREVER! All the other nests hatched they learned to fly and away they went..

Isn't she cute!


Her baby has finally hatched...probably 3 or 4 days ago...that was when I noticed her feeding ...

Look close...see the little beak?






Purple sage is yet another variety...this is growing on our place..wild.

Nature is something to watch isn't it!
