A few more pictures...

Jace wanted his picture taken after he saw the pictures I took of Conner. So he posed in front of the window (which wasn't ideal lighting, but it worked for him). He'll be excited to see them on the blog. He wouldn't put down the granola bar he was holding, in fact he was trying to get me to take a picture of it. We're going to have to work on our photo composition.



Bright-eyed as always.

Happy to be able to climb up and look out the windows to watch the birds, cats, or whatever else might be out there.


I know that the name of this bird sounds bad, but I was excited to see it and that I could remember what it was called (probably because of the name)--its a hairy woodpecker. This was right outside the window, and he stayed around for more than an hour. I started a list on the left side of the blog for the birds I see out here. Its spring and we should start seeing more songbirds soon (we've already been seeing Robins for a couple of weeks now). We've seen a bald eagle twice now, flying over the field across the road from us. In other wildlife news, we saw some raccoons the other night. One was right outside our back door on the other side of the sliding glass door, and there were 1-2 more in a nearby tree (it was very dark, and we were trying to count eyes as they moved around with a flashlight shining in their direction). We were a little concerned about them becoming pests or perhaps being a threat to the dog, but we haven't seen them again. I'm excited see the wildlife this summer (especially the birds).
