Busy Boys and Bluebirds

Well, I was finally able to get a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird. It's not the best picture. You may have to get the magnifying glass out to see them, but Mrs. Bluebird is sitting on the roof, and Mr. Bluebird is just about to land. They're so pretty. We have several bluebird boxes around our place, and I've noticed bluebirds moving into two others.
Zach and Wyatt were here for a while today. We went up the road to wish Travis a happy birthday, and then played Monopoly, downloaded some music onto Zach's MP3 player and then they rode bikes for a while. After lunch, we went outside again. They played in the lime pile, and around the horse stalls. While I was moving Lucky and Burger King into the lower lot, the boys hid, but I caught them peeking out of their hiding place! They were having a great time. Wyatt wanted to walk down and jump over the little creek, so we walked around the back field. They both enjoyed throwing sticks into the big creek and watching them float downstream.
It was much warmer today than it had been all weekend. The cold nights froze just about all the leaves on the shrubs and trees, but I also noticed that some of the weeds froze too! It's back to school tomorrow morning.
