I know some people around the web were making "tree pants" --using a squared shape, instead of circular, so I'm curious.<br /><br />Those birds! I love your updates on them. And the yard--a never-ending project. Our irrigation accidentally got turned off while we were gone and I came back to a dead garden, crispy plants and mostly dead lawn. Sigh. Water is so crucial around here now that we've switched to drip system, it seems, but it was over 100 degrees while we were gone (and heating up again this week, I hear).<br /><br />ElizabethOPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-74022656633988860932016-08-29T06:40:01.618-07:002016-08-29T06:40:01.618-07:00Very pretty tree skirt, love the red and white.

One of the last flock we had, one of them had the funky pin feathers sticking out all over for a long time. The boys started calling her Doc Brown after the character in Back to the Future.

I love all the possibilities hst give you...have fun with them, looks like a lot.<br /><br />Those babies are adorable! Did you have the opportunity to see the web cam of the two eaglets in Washington DC? They went thought some of the same phases your babies are. So fascinating to see how much they change every day.
