...a juvenile female Eastern Bluebird !she was hopping across'd the lawn when Lazy spotted her,
and he sure did let me know she was there...
and he sure did let me know she was there...
I scooped her up and examined her...
...she's fine, but her left wing is not strong enough for flight yet ~
I'll keep her until she can fly on her own, then hopefully she will want to live here
at Notforgotten Farm...'tis such a loverly place you know ~

aren't her colors just beautiful???
another little blessing today is this:
one of our little Mama-hens has started to set...she has 6 or 7 eggs under her nowand in 3 weeks we'll have little ones running around...
we already hatched the 2 chicks in the incubator, and they're doing fine.
those that will come out tomorrow to our open house will get to visit with them!
and, last but not at all least...

I love bluebirds. We have a pair building a nest at this moment in the house. I really like their bird sound too.
Oh, yes, 48ct. Whew! It is so sweet.
I love listening to the bluebirds, too. I know this one will get good care. Looking forward to seeing you, tomorrow.
Hugs!!
I love your new blog design. Good luck with your little bluebird. And congrats to mama hen! I am planning to have chickens when we settle into our new house, but I'm debating on a rooster. Any advice?
The stitching is lovely.

Courtney, you will love having chickens...and unless your girls are free-range or you actually want fertile eggs, there's no need for a rooster, the girls lay anyway!!

48 count, really??? They actually make such a thing??? Is it a torture device or what??? Oh my HECK! Bless you, Lori, for taking care of that sweet little bird - she's precious. Love your mamma hen too. Good luck with the open house! Would love to see pictures! Smiles ~ Robin
The bluebird is precious!! My son just bought me a little blue parakeet for Mother's Day yesterday...I love birds!! Love the new pattern (as always)One of my newest patterns I designed has a small patch separately stitched on & I stitched the design on that on muslin so I know how tiny the 48 ct is....those were TINY stitches!!Have a great open house & mothers day!! ~Kriss~
Hi Lori:) It's always a treat to see God's creatures up close and personal. We have several bluebird families around our home that have their babies and then they find their mates and on and on. They are a delight to watch. You'll have a wonderful open house on Mother's Day:)
Best wishes, Carol
The little blue bird is beautiful, glad you could save it!!
