Birds & Blooms - sort of

I'm not even sure if Peeps are meant to be birds or not, but I'm thinking they are?  I actually bought these last spring, not thinking about the fact that I would be in South Africa for Easter.  I just left the package of them in the cabinet and pulled them out this morning, hardened but still clearly Peeps.  Jax was extremely interested and conducted a thorough investigation.  I think he knew they started life as a form of food, but he wasn't convinced enough to try a bite.  See Extra.

We FT'd with my parents this morning which was, as always, great.  Dad is still nursing two twisted ankles but he is resigned to taking it easy until they have healed.  The suspicion is that he's got some tendon damage in one foot, related to the twisted ankles.  

My SiL is having dinner with us this evening and bestie Peg will be joining us via FT.  It is Peg's first Easter without her beloved Chris, so I'm hoping joining us at the virtual table will help keep her spirits up.

Hubs and I put the canopy up on our deck this afternoon - which means that winter is officially over and spring/summer is underway.  We've moved our two comfy outside chairs out and Jax immediately ensconced himself on one of them.  And while we were manhandling the canopy onto its frame, we were being serenaded by the first House Wren of the summer - what a joyful sound!  I actually heard him 2 days ago but today was the first time I spotted him - a plain brown bird with a fabulous, loud song.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
