Well, here we are to the fortieth day of my blog-venture. I had to post another picture - this one is of my Nina, quasi-napping in the sunlight streaming through the door. There are times I wish I could just curl up with her instead of head out the door to one of these stupid (oops, did I say stupid) jobs or such. But, whatever.
We are up to 50 in new FB friends and I know I will hit the 55 mark soon - of course, it will probably expand from there. That is one of the easier of the list to achieve, I think.
The bird sightings are slight - I think I can add a pair of cowbirds and some Canadian geese to the list, making my total to date, 13. However, I am hoping the weather will cooperate this weekend, as the Ohio Valley Birding Festival is to be in full swing, and I am going to try the Migration Hike at Audubon Park on Saturday morning. Since I have to be at work at 10 am, John and I are going to venture across the bridge for the 7:30 - 9:00 am hike. My dad has assured me that I may well add 40 or more birds to my list - to which I reply, he would add 40 or more, I will be lucky to add 10! (I am not the birder my father is). However, to aid me in my quest, he is lending me a pair of binoculars, since mine are terribly old, and they should be arriving in the mail any minute now. The only factor that may hinder me in this weekend adventure would be the weather - an e-mail I received today from one of the directors of the Birding Fest said she would call me if they cancel due to the weather. Shucks. Everybody, keep your fingers crossed that it DOES NOT RAIN ON SATURDAY MORNING!
Now, to another German phrase for me to try to unsuccessfully memorize: Wie geht es zhnen heute? And, till next time, bis spater! ( I remember that one!)
