calling any one from missouri

They dropped the rain prediction for tomorrow so looks like a few sunny days in a row here.

For a few years we had a whippoorwill that would sit on the handrail outside our bedroom window every morning before dawn, sure glad he moved on...

Any time I woke up during the night, I could hear a mockingbird singing. I'm thinking he must have sung all night long. He's still singing as it gets light....

I’ve been told a mockingbird at night means you’ll get good news today!

This “terky bird” has been in the yard the last two mornings... I’m guessing she must have a nest nearby...

I DID get long awaited good news yesterday! And I briefly heard the mockingbird last night, and there's one more bit of delayed good news we hope to hear about today!

I guess I got more than one bit of good news yesterday. (The first I thought of was that our son was finally able to register the car DH drove out to him in OR last month--- there had been complications in emissions testing because wires chewed by mice etc.)
But I just remembered there was more good news, our broody was off her nest for a short break so I candled her eggs for the first time and they are all developing! We're on day 9. I have joined a hatch-a-long for the first time!
And then, to top it all off, I won 2nd place in a caption contest here on BYC and the prize was a year's PFM! No ads for a year!

Another one bites the dust....not alive after falling on the cold wet ground, I think it's an English sparrow

Twin Acres is for sale--on the way to Joplin, in Dusquesne, is this unique property. In the 1950's, identical twin girls married identical twin boys. They bought this land and built identical brick houses facing each other. They shared a 2 car garage in between. The ladies bought identical furnishings, decorating the same, down to every detail. They each had 1 child, a girl and a boy who looked a lot alike. It must have been an interesting way to grow up! Their descendants have put the place up for sale. There are a million questions I'd love to ask about this family!
