Good morning sunshine! Hello Spring! I just returned from a beautiful walk with friends, my favorite way to begin the day. Doodles went out for his morning sniff around our property and alerted me to a robin's nest in a rhododendron bush outside our family room window. He watched the robin fly to the nest with a worm in her mouth to feed her babies. It was thrilling to see. He then sunned himself on a large rock. Isn't he just magnificent? I'll be home for more estimates on work we are planning to have done to the house, but will be leaving early for dinner with my brother and his wife. We haven't seen them since Florida. Have a magnificent day!

But Doodles doesn't take direction well. He seems to enjoy doing his own thing. Thanks, Marilyn.

@DianneN The black cats and dogs usually find the shady spots.

I'm sorry you're having a drab day. We had one yesterday. It's amazing how hot Doodles gets in the sun, being black. I usually have to shade him outside with my body!

The sunshine seems to be making its rounds. Another blessed day for us. I haven't seen a robin in quite some time. Enjoy your dinner.

Doodles certainly is a handsome looking dude there all sprawled out and enjoying his morning sunshine. So more estimates for work around your home, did you get your car back yet? We have a beautifully bright and sunny morning here, and I believe that is the forecast for the rest of the day. I'm just going to go for a walk myself now. I've been sitting here for too long, in between making and taking phone calls.

Doodles is so good and good for us. We adore and love him! The car will be ready later in the day. There was something wrong with the battery for the top and transmission. They also found that the lumbar support was leaking, not that we even use it. I can't wait to use it tonight when we go out for dinner. Have a good walk. I made it for six+ miles, but had to get home to use the bathroom. Lol!

No need to apologize. I'm trying to catch up here, myself. Obviously! I'm bad. It's always nice to have sun, but just think, soon we'll be complaining of the heat.

@DianneN I was out most of the afternoon, it was warmer today. So I am just trying to catch up on my notifications before I go to bed, so I won't have too many tomorrow.

That is one proud furry critter! When he was looking at the robin, he was seeing a snack treat.

Yesterday a bird scared me. I have double pane windows and blinds. I saw the shadow of the bird on the window. I was thinking don't break the window. It flew up to the roof later.

We have had birds fly into our windows. Some were lucky to fly away. Others not so lucky. Glad your bird flew to your roof!
