Heute morgen hatten wir seltenen Besuch an unserem Futterhäuschen. Miriam hat ihn zuerst entdeckt: Abendkerbeißer!
Flora and I walked to the post office this afternoon. It was so warm, almost 70 degrees. What happened to the snow? We discovered lots of empty wasp nests in the bare trees.
Flora und ich sind zur Post gegangen. Es waren 20 Grad. Wo ist nur der Schnee geblieben? Wir haben viele leere Wespennester in den kahlen Bäumen gefunden.

Walking to the post office is past this "wild stretch"
Wenn man zur Post geht, kommt man an diesem "wilden Stück" vorbei.
After our walk, we all (except Peter, who was teaching) raked leaves for one hour.
Anschließend haben wir alle (außer Peter, der unterrichten mußte) eine Stunde lang Blätter geharkt.
And guess what, our snowdrops are starting to grow, isn't that crazy?
Kaum zu glauben, aber unsere Schneeglöckchen fangen an zu wachsen.

And we finally got our car back! Und unser Auto haben wir auch endlich zurückbekommen.
It's wonderful to see the birds at your feeder. Did Flora climb up to get the wasp's nest, or was it on the ground? It's good to climb trees . . how funny about the snow drops. Does that mean you will have a mild winter?! Have you ever had a mild winter :) Glad your car is back!
ReplyDeleteJonathan was all thrilled to hear about them. He loves this kind. No, the wasp nest had fallen down and we found it in our yard. All my girls have loved climbing trees. I am not sure about the snowdrops. I hope they will go back to sleep. There was one year when we had a short winter, but we have never had a mild one. Now we can drive to ballet again and also go shopping. We were running out of things.
DeleteWhat does Jonathan like about the Evening Grosbeak? They are very pretty, but do they also have a particularly pretty call? Or is it their habits? I love the Northern Mockingbird because of its call .. I love how it can imitate other birds and sounds from the street! I also like how they like to perch on the tip of the building facades.
DeleteOne really needs a car in the country!
Our winter here last year was definitely mild :)
He thinks they are very pretty and he likes their call. We don't see mockingbirds here often. I wonder what the winter will be like this year.
DeleteWas ist denn das nun bloß? Ich komme nicht drauf, ein Drache?
ReplyDeleteJa!!! Flora will ihm noch Spiralen malen :).
