LIFE

Had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek of Discovery's new series - LIFE. It looks GREAT!! It seems to have a little different feel than Planet Earth, but the same amazing cinematography. Looking forward to watching it this Sunday!

Permanent Resident?

Well, we've had a pair of bluebirds around for a few days now. (I'm hopeful they're here to stay.) Chad said there were actually two pairs out back today fighting around the nest box. I hope they can all survive the cold, yucky weather we have in store.

Male

Caught this male hanging out on the neighbor's tree this morning. Haven't seen any action around the nest box the last several days. (I like the snow-capped Rockies in the background.)

Another Female

Not sure if this is the same female bluebird, but she was out cleaning herself this morning.

They Have Arrived!

This evening while watering my plants in the basement I had a VERY pleasant surprise...a female bluebird sitting on the nesting box fixing her feathers. I felt this was a little early, but looking back at this blog I discovered that they appeared exactly one year to the day as last year. (I'm just hopeful that this year is better.)

New Visitors

Late this afternoon we had several coyotes across the fairway from us. We saw one on his own and then a few minutes later there were three more headed in the same direction.

Fundraising for Haiti

I am so VERY proud of the students at my school, Clear Sky Elementary. The sixth grade students organized a fundraiser for Haiti and in just over a week the school raised $2800!!! Today a representative from the local Red Cross chapter came to the school for a special presentation. He shared a little about the history of the Red Cross and what they do for our community.
