Time seems to get away from me. Spring is slowly creeping in and I must be outside getting ready to plant. I absolutely love this time of year when you can watch things grow. It seems to me like I need to pencil time in to write.I have though been working on why I titled this blog the way I did. But that will take time because it goes to the inter-most part of ones self. The heart. And I am still learning how to share.
But until that is done let me share my walk with you. I decided my daughter, who will be giving birth in about a month, needed a little exercise so we went to the Sandy river to enjoy one of the few days that we have had good weather here. I love being outside. I love the fresh air and the smell of spring. Watching flowers and trees come to life after a long winters nap, and I mean a long winters nap. But it was a perfect day with the warmth of the sun on our face and the ever so gentle breeze blowing.
We had no agenda we just slowly walked along the rocky path. Listening to the water lapping up against the river rock. To our surpise we ran into this little bird. If you look close you can see her eggs they are to the left of where she is standng. Such a strange place to lay eggs.
She wasn't too happy we were there, she screeched at us then charged us all the while she was puffing out her tail feathers. I think she scared us more than we scared her.
All in all it was a wonderful day
I long for more days like it.

Mmmmmm...I could just hear the water and feel a slight breeze while reading your post. I am so glad you had a wonderful time.
The bird eggs...oh my goodness do you know how not observant I am? Only because you pointed them out did I even try to look. And then it still took a good three minutes to find them. I never would have seen those eggs on my own.
lol we were standing right there and it was hard to see the eggs. They blended in so well with the river rock. But they were right on a path. Poor mother bird, she is going to be a nervouse wreck before those eggs are hatched.
Any time that we get to spend with loved ones is special, and to walk in such a wonderful place makes it even more so. I spent ages looking at the picture and still couldn't see the eggs, so your eyesight must be amazing!
I know Mima, it is impossible to see! If I had not been there I would not know where to look. :o)
