New life.....baby birds

A few weeks ago, I woke up a couple of mornings in a row to a scratching type noise that sounded like it was right by our bed.  I kept looking around to see if something was in our room, but there wasn't anything. I just assumed it was something outside the window....well, I was right!! It was a bird making a nest!! It has been so so neat to get to watch the whole process.  A "wink" from God. We literally have a bird's eye view of the whole process. :)
Such a pretty nest.
3 pretty blue eggs.
Rosy came over last Thursday to have a play date (I took her to Maggie Moo's, too). I loved being able to show her the bird's nest. She loved seeing the mama bird in the tree, too.
The very next morning, I looked out the window and 2 of the birds had hatched!!! SO NEAT!!! Look at the mama bird protecting her babies.

I don't know what happened to the third egg. It's no longer in the nest but I can't tell if there are 2 or 3 birds yet.  It looks like there is only 2 so I guess the mama bird got rid of the 3rd egg knowing that it wasn't going to hatch.
We get to watch the mama (and daddy) sit on the nest and feed them.  It has been so so neat!! I love watching the birds open their beaks. 
It has been so much fun to look out my window every morning and see the baby birds. They grow so fast. They already have gray fur and you can see their yellow beaks.  They have started chirping, too.  Here's a picture of the mama and daddy birds in the tree right outside the window. If one of them is not sitting on the nest, they can always be found close by. I sure hope we'll be blessed with another nest next year. I have LOVED this fun surprise!!!

We have had A LOT of bad weather this month....high winds, hail, and tornadoes. It has been neat to see how the nest hasn't had any damage. When I see how the nest has been protected, I can't help but think about the verse in the Bible that talks about God taking care of the birds and if He takes care of them, of course He'll take care of us!!!

"Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? "
Matthew 6:26

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
