Nature on Display

We had beautiful weather in northern Indiana last week. My brother's town is small and surrounded by fields, so it's full of beautifully chirping birds, his yard is covered in violets:



And Duckyboy had a blast trying to "jail" a ladybug, who kept blithely meandering over the sticks that comprised his triangular cage:





Between being able to run in and out of the house which was full of people and cats to play with inside and lots to look at outside, at one point DB said, "This is even more fun than playing on Club Penguin!" Which, believe me, is saying something.

How funny is this story about the pigeon who beat the Internet? Anyone who's waited for a download or a heavy-laden site to come up will appreciate it.

You know what it reminds me of, the story of hammer-swinger John Henry beating the steam driver. We listen to the Johnny Cash version of that story all the time.

DuckyBoy loves to say he'd root for the steam driver. And he'd much rather be a Transformer than a human. This'll really break his heart! LOL
