Hi Tootsie
Geez I don't know whats wrong but I could not post on here for ages this evening...I tried your lilsista's blog and the same thing. The white area would come up but I couldn't do anything on it. wonder if others had that problem.

ANYWAY...you have had some cute little babies nesting and living in your area...are they not sweet. I can just imagine you up in a tree taking pictures...and keeping everyone away. So many little familes. They are so precious. I should also post here about your dad's train set...that is amazing. He must just spend hours there...how creative he is also. So many little details and I sure hope that door is closed too!..locked..whew.

You can tell he's had it for a long time with all that he has added to it...amazing..
thank you for sharing
and have a lovely weekend!

" When I write or share something about one of my friends in a posting, I always make sure I send them a copy of it, so they know what was said about them. Today I included information about you and your blog site in my posting, so I thought I should let you know about it as well."

The above paragraph is the first paragraph in an email I sent out today, to all of the owners of blogs whom host "theme days", that I could find email addresses for. {But I could not find an email address on your blog.} I have decided that from now on the only ones I will do such for, are any new "theme day(s)" hosts I find, whom I can not find an email address for. Contacting so-o many of you this way just takes w-a-y to much time!!! If you wish to again be notified that I am including you in a list, then PLEASE send me your email address via - pinkbunnies (at) sbcglobal (dot) com. I hereby promise I will NOT be giving it out. Also, please put something about "theme days" in the subject line. Thanks!!

The rest of the email is what I posted today on our blog. Go to: www.xanga.com/thehousethatlovebuilt to read it for yourself.

Hopefully, it will then clarify all of this for you ;-}

Oh how I enjoyed reading your bird post! I have a goldfinch nest going up in our front yard. They are so pretty to me. I also have a hummingbird feeder suctioned to my kitchen window and they come by all the time for a drink of sugar water. They are so cute to watch.

Nice to see you again! Donna

Whew! Thanks for relieving my poor old mind. I've been known to drift off and I just wanted to be sure I hadn't dreamed that other post. Don't worry about me...those short naps are wonderful!

I love baby birds too(-: What great pictures! Finches will build anywhere close to the house it seems. I wish I could get a robin to build a nest here!
A break from the kids till Sunday? What will you do?(-:
Glad the kitty got all fixed up too. That must have been hard on the little critter!

Hey Tootsie. :) Isn't it fun to watch those birds grow? We had finches in the window box on our patio...actually they've been coming for the last 2 or 3 years. This year for the first time, we got to watch them learn to fly and take off. It all happened in one day. We were sad to see them go but so happy that we saw it happen this time. We've always missed it before.

Your bird photos are awesome. You are fortunate to get them. Robins have a tendency to be very protective. A robin kept building a bird nest over my sister's outside light and she would dive bomb you if you came even close, needless to say my sister couldn't even use her front door. I am glad little Bumblebee is doing well. I am sure she will be well loved, look forward to seeing more pictures.

Wow, the birds sure do love your house, don't they? I love the finch! I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild.

OK, Tootsie, now I'm feeling guilty for knocking down a bird's nest from my porch at least 20 times this spring.....didn't want the mess on my patio. My apologies, mrs Bird :)

Thanks for the wonderful Outdoor Wednesday treat! Now I expect one every week - hint, hint!

Loved all the photos. I haven't found a single birds nest & know the trees have to have bunches of them.

Now we need to see more pictures of Bumble Bee!

2009-07-15T09:51:12.172-06:00

It's pretty exciting when birds chose our yards to nest in. I'd be a paparazzi too! They almost always use birdhouses too so I only see them going in and out. Your little kitty sounds like one I had, it ended up being a huge cat that thought I was it's mother.

2009-07-15T08:42:45.354-06:00

Tootsie- You are just the sweetest! I love seeing your sweet birdies and nests- I so wish I could get out and see if I can discover any birdnest or little one around my yard- Patience Mary- hopefully Friday- I will get the ok to get outside again! Would love to join in on Friday !

Visited Lilsista today - loved the pew story- it reminded me so much of my childhood memories of church! Aren't sisters such a blessing!!? Mine came this past weekend to help take care me- spoiled me rotten with little tea parties- fixing my hair- cleaning my house... geez I guess I should do this rattlesnake thing more often...

2009-07-15T08:34:57.414-06:00

Nesting birds are the best (and cheapest!) entertainment I know of. To get to watch the babies grow and then leave the nest is something! We have a pair of cardinals that come back to the same cedar tree and nest every year. They fluff it up a little and settle right in. I would love to find a hummingbird nest. Your finch doesn't look real it is so beautiful!
Speaking of chicks...you did get your necklace? I didn't dream that, right?

2009-07-15T08:26:44.614-06:00

Tootsie, I loved all of your bird shots, and I remember seeing those wonderful baby robins and thinking how sweet they all were. So glad they got off safely and that you have new visitors.

And that kitty! Oh, he's so blessed to have wandered into your life. Thank goodness you found his little sweet self. Hope he gets better soon and is up to all sorts of kitten fun!

XO,

Sheila :-)

2009-07-15T08:21:55.664-06:00

Hi Tootsie! Good to hear from you! Your photos of the birds are great! I have a mocking bird nest right by my window. for a while, she was really loud and protecting her nest, but the birds are all grown up now and left. I miss them! They are so much fun to watch! The red finch you have is beautiful!! I looked at some of your other posts and your flowers are amazing! I am planning on joining fertilzer friday. See you then! Kristen

2009-07-15T08:01:16.665-06:00

Hi Tootsie!! Oh my goodness, I LOVE your photos of the birds and their nests! Being a motherly sort myself, I understand completely regarding your sense of loss... they grow so quickly! We have a friend who has a Swallows' nest on a post right next to her front door. She keeps the nest up after they leave and they have returned to the SAME nest for SEVEN years to raise their babies. Actually...we're not quite sure if they are the same birds or their offspring...but they sure feel safe and at home there. She deems it an honor and a compliment that they've chosen her house for raising their babies from year to year. It's my theory that she is a special person -- I think they can sense that. It's my guess that your birdies can sense the same thing about you. Thanks so much for all your great posts, I really enjoy them so much.
Warmly,
Traceyxo
